I just love these cute table markers! Incorporating a theme into your table names is another way to make your own personality shine through at your wedding. A few of my favorite from this summer so far:

Megan+Greg | Mill Creek Barns:: Each table was named after an “adventure” the couple went on, complete with a picture of them at the location. They had 20+ tables, so this was one adventurous couple!

Kate+Mitch | The Heritage Center:: Each table had a black and white picture of a landmark in Chicago, where the couple lives!

Jessica+Bryan | The Veranda at the Whitcomb:: This couple tied in their beachy motif by naming each table after a Michigan beach

Lisa+Bart | Blue Dress Barn:: A picture of the couple’s adorable dog adorned each table—these were too cute!

Carrie+Adam | Mill Creek Barns:: Each table was hosted by the couple married the longest, complete with a wedding picture and a fun or quirky fact about them! I definitely caught guests snatching these at the end of the night!

Quick Tip:: If you have more than 12 tables at your reception, I would suggest incorporating an actual table number into your design. This way, your guests won’t be wandering aimlessly as they try to find their table!

On Sunday morning the atmosphere was created, draping the pavilion with hundreds of yards of bright pink fabric, and filling the area with orchids. I absolutely love the look of a chuppah, and this one is one of my all-time favorites! Guests were shuttled to the ceremony site and greeted with glasses of sparkling champagne with raspberries. A string quartet announced the brides processional and after a jewish reformed ceremony, guests proceeded to cocktail hour at the Heritage Center. I absolutely love the way the Heritage Center turned out—-chocolate and cerise linens, submerged orchid centerpieces, a vodka ice luge, and pink uplighting on all of the walls. Chocolate martini’s and grapefruit kiss martinis (pink and brown) were served during cocktail hour. Even the food  followed the color scheme with salmon gateau and shrimp cocktail among the appetizers. A delicious meal was served by the Bistro while the band, Me & The Boys, fired up the dinner music! This is the second time I’ve worked with Me & The Boys and they do an absolutely phenomenal job!

The night was full of Jewish & Russian traditions, and you could tell how excited this couples family and friends all were to be together and celebrating with Yana+Brannon, it was truly a joy-filled celebration! Thank you so much to Yana+Brannon for allowing our team to be a part of your big day, and I hope you’re enjoying your honeymoon in Greece!
