I have the photos from the wedding last spring ready for you to look at. Photographer Peter Coombs has very generously shared his images with me. Many thanks to Peter for his kindness. You can see all the photos by clicking on the one below.

The most recent wedding I worked on had another visually interesting reception. The ceremony and reception took place in the rehearsal rooms at the Joffrey Ballet. The view was spectacular, so very little decor was needed. And what there was had a State Fair theme. To complement that idea, the meal was served family style. Here are a few photos to give you an idea.
Here are some photos from another recent wedding. This one was special for me because it was my usual wedding assistant getting married. They planned a wedding that was as quirky as they are, and it was a tremendous amount of fun.
The wedding’s theme was games, since bride and groom had met at a game night and are fervent game players. They carried the theme through everything–including the ceremony. One vow for each of them was determined by the roll of a six-sided die.
Each centerpiece used a different board game. Here is Trivial Pursuit.
And here is the game of Risk. Table "numbers" were the name of each game.
Chutes and Ladders!
Monopoly, too.
All the flowers were wacky and fun, as suited the day.
Here you can see how well the flowers suited the room.
The bride made the card box to resemble a six-sided die.
The bride's Italian family created a proper send-off for them.
Labor Day weekend I was fortunate enough to work on a lovely wedding reception that took place in the back yard of the groom’s parents. The couple’s vision of the wedding was one of utter simplicity and elegance. They focused most of their attention on the entertainment, with a jazz trio playing during cocktails, a DJ for dancing after dinner, and a photo booth. Here are some photos from the day to give you a taste of what is possible under a tent.
The only table decor was a floral centerpiece.
Here's a longer view of the guest tables.
The sweetheart table and tables for the wedding party had slightly darker linens.
The bride and groom made the cute seating board.
The backyard was already a nice place to have a wedding.

I’ve done three weddings recently that I wasn’t able to post anything about. Here are a few photos from them. Stay tuned for more on all three.
The state fair theme of this reception was reflected in both the table and room decor.
You almost couldn't get more contrast to the last reception than this funky, game-inspired decor.
And here's something completely different from the third wedding.
I’ll write a little something about each, so please check back. I should have full photos from all three before long, too. Those will go in the photo galleries.

A client of mine wanted me to share with you her best stress-busting tip. She had a short engagement and a rather stressful time planning her wedding (on top of a demanding job). She said that the best thing she and her fiance did was take weekly dance lessons. Sure, it takes some time out of your week, but it’s a time to enjoy being with the one you love and it really blows off some steam. And then, come your wedding day, you can show off all your new dance moves!
