This past weekend, one of our own, Peri Baldwin, got married to her best friend, Billy Strong. Their ceremony was lovely and the reception was so much fun. Since we've been talking about it all week, here are some pictures to share...
The ceremony was held at Grace United Methodist Church - the same church Peri's parents were married in. In fact, these are the exact same candelabras in her parent's wedding pictures! We decided to add a little pop of her purple color to make them stand out.
We lined the front of the church in shades of purple floral arrangements, and then added some white flower petals in front. These same arrangements were later transported to the Reception to march down the length of long tables.
Their cake was created by Let Them Eat Cake. The round and square tiers took on a modern shape and the fresh strawberry filling was a perfect nod to this summer event. Absolutely delicious!
Their reception was held at Zart 1312 in downtown Des Moines. Zart has extremely tall ceilings, so to give some height in the room, we created silver trees filled with crystals and candles, surrounded by minature gardens. More candles were added to create a romantic feel throughout the space.
We kept the head table low and simple, lining it with flowers and floating candles. The Zebra-striped settee is a perfect touch for the Bride and Groom, a more modern feel than standard chairs.
The escort card table became a huge statement piece by placing it upstairs directly above the head table. We draped silver manzaneta trees with silver crystal strands adding flowers at the base. The table was later converted into holding favors during the dance. The favors were made by Billy's sister, Abby Strong, who owns Double-Dipped Decadence!
Congratulations Peri & Billy!!

In lieu of a flower girl, we added petals going up to their unity candle and table where they signed their marriage license.

Upstairs we created twin lounges where guests could relax and look at family wedding pictures.
Congratulations Peri & Billy!!
