Behind the scenes

It is always glamorous to see the end result of an event.  The lit candles, the beautiful centerpieces, the happy, laughing people.  But what about what goes into an event?  The untouched room, the dishes being placed, the "before" - rather than the "after" effect.
We had a lovely wedding this past weekend in northern Iowa.  Here are a few of the before pictures of the Fox Ridge Golf Country Club House.

You have to start with the room,

then you add the linens, the glasses, the tableware, the caterers....

and all of the work that goes into setting a lovely room....

add in a fun band set-up,

light the candles,

and you end up with a room set for a bride and a groom and their guests.

I almost forgot the lounge!  Now, doesn't that look like a fun place to hang out?
