The Reception “An elegant outdoor lounge area was set up for pre-dinner drinks, which included our signature cocktails, ‘Blushing Bride’ and ‘Suit and Tie’. Tables featured floral centrepieces in creams and soft pastels in large, cut crystal vases. We added champagne and blush chevron sequined table runners for a touch of elegance. Place cards and menus were printed in letterpress and we purchased crystal cut glass candles for a hint of vintage style. The mood in the room was warm and romantic with soft gold feature lighting. Candlelight on the tables ensured a romantic glow as the sun went down. We placed pillar candles in cylinder vases around the dance floor and champagne draping provided a backdrop behind our bridal table. A feature table was set up with flowers, a guest book and vintage suitcase for our wishing well. We both wanted the reception to be a big celebration, with our guests up and dancing all night!”
