timate Kansas City affair. She knew she wanted to incorporate gold, but didn’t have any idea of how to create the design scheme for the entire event. We started by looking at pictures of her beautiful reception site, filled with rich dark wood and one of the most beautiful decorated ivory ceilings. The design scheme became immediately clear. She wanted colors that would pop among the regal décor, so I suggested bright hues of red, orange and yellow callas, roses, and orchids. I started by designing the ceremony. The rich tones and grandiose pillars created a beautiful backdrop for an intimate candlelight celebration. Single candelabras lined the aisle, which was draped in an ivory runner, and contained spays of greenery tied with a simple gold satin bow. An elegant fireplace marked the end of the aisle, which became the housing to an abundance of ivory pillar candles. The aisle was finished with two large candelabras containing sprays of elegant flowers in the red, orange and yellow color scheme. 2 sets of elegant pillars created a natural aisle. Each individual pillar was up-lit with a soft white light. The chairs were draped in ivory cotton and finished with a simple gold organza bow.
As the guests enjoyed live chamber music, food and drink in the library, the catering staff converted the intimate ceremony area into a stately reception. The round tables were draped in ivory floor length clothes and finished off with a gold sparkle organza overlay. Small but meaningful centerpieces created with flowers in red, orange and yellow, were elegantly placed.
The entire event screamed traditional elegance; from the Bride’s simple but upscale Romona Kevenza gown and magnificent site, to an intimate candlelight ceremony and an elegantly understated reception. We helped to create a timeliness and unforgetable celebration.

The couple had been together for a little over six years and knew this was the perfect time to “tie the knot.” The Bride was from, and lived in, Los Angeles, California. The Groom moved back to the East Coast to further his education. Needless to say, most of the time, it was the Bride, I and her family doing all the planning.
forgotten” ceremony. The room was filled with extravagant flowers, linens and imported custom designed drapery. Half of the tables consisted of cherry tree branches with green antique Hydrangeas, Black Magic Roses, Melva orange Roses, Leonita Roses, red hanging Amaranths and Orchids. The other half consisted of the same flowers, however, we changed the concept and opted to showcase the flowers in tall circular glass vases partially filled with marbles -giving the room more variety and elegance. The room was truly magical and filled with love, happiness, and memories that the Bride and Groom will hold dear to their hearts forever.
The cake was something you would find in a picture perfect magazine. The Bride chose a very simple, classic, and timeless cake. It was tree tiered and had draping with sugar coated rose petals and Tiramisu filling. The room was filled with silence and all eyes were on the Bride and Groom as they took a big slice of cake and fed each other in a very romantic and unforgettable way.
