British Colonial Photo Shoot

I was asked to decorate for a retirement party a few weeks ago at the Hotel Ft. Des Moines in downtown Des Moines. This hotel has been closed for renovations, so being able to get into this historic building to decorate is a cause for celebration. Our theme was a British Colonial look, since this would work well with all of the natural wood and brass touches in the lobby.

Not to be a wasteful worker with a great opportunity, I rounded up a great group of professionals for an impromptu photo shoot hours before the party started. When the fabulous Dreamstate Photography sent me these pics, I knew that I wanted to share them as soon as possible.
