Deep Purple Dahlias, Mint and a Touch of Metallic Champagne came together for the Celebration of Katie and Brian at The Prairie Street Brewhouse.
Katie collected Jack Daniels and Crown Royal Bottles from a Watering Hole near her Chicago apartment, then painted them shades of mint for half of her centerpieces – the remaining tables had centerpieces of fresh, homemade donuts and cronuts placed on cake pedestals for sharing with neighboring tables.
Gorgeous Lemon Leaf Garland draped the Suspended Alpha Order Seating Assignment in the Ice Cellar and then an even more gorgeous garland connected the Metallic Champagne Bistro Chiavari Chairs for the Bistro-Sweetheart Table placed under the Black Chandelier in The Barrel Room.
Backyard Soiree Weddings and Events took Katie’s wishes, then designed and executed with the help of the following vendors. Sarah Axelson – custom invitation and all event signage, Embellish Specialty Rentals – Metallic Champagne Bistro Chivari Chair, Broadway Florist, Luxe Productions, The Sweetery, Beautiful Day Linens and Penguin Foods.
Extra-Special thanks to My Angel, Assistant, Abby.
