To create the ceremony space, we're borrowing from the Jewish tradition and using a "Chuppah" that will be lavishly draped in red fabric. The aisle will be flanked by tall wrought iron candelabras decorated with red roses. It might be steamy, so the programs will also double as fans for guests to keep cool.
As for the reception, it will reflect the groom's southern background. Soul food is on the menu with chicken, collard greens, black eyed peas, sweet potatoes, cornbread and Ceaser salad. Yum!
The table linens will be black with ivory napkins and the red rose centerpieces will add a pop of color. We're also doing chair covers with black sashes. How elegant! I'm putting together her centerpieces and I'm really happy to have the opportunity to create exactly what she wants within the parameters of her floral budget. :)
We are using cylinder vases with a single red rose and a floating candle. It will sit on top of a beveled mirror and be surrounded by red rose petals and candle votives. It will be absolutely romantic. In addition to rose petals around the centerpieces, they will also surround their three tier red velvet cake!
Of course, the cake won't be the only dessert! We are planning to have a lavish candy buffet with ornate apothecary jars filled with red, black and white sweets. Plus, we'll have chocolates in red favor bags at each place setting for guests to enjoy.
Yes, it certainly is coming together. I'm happy that we're finalizing all the details and I'm happy to share this inspiration board with you. After the wedding, it will be interesting to see the similarities and differences from the original plan.
I truly hope that I've inspired. Happy planning!
