Jessi's wedding was yesterday...it was a beatiful day sans the awful wind! While setting up--we had to fix and refix everything multiple times! the vases kept blowing over and breaking. Eventually, someone decided to scruch up the table overlays and place large rocks underneath to brace the flowers! luckily, there was a flowerbed nearby with huge rocks! and it worked about 90 percent of the time! everytime a huge wind would come, we would look around to see what needed to be caught! next problem--the poster size pictures that were supposed to hang around the edges of the bandstand...kept blowing off! eventually, several had to be taken down and then were placed in the flowerbeds along side the extra lanters--it actually looked really cute and purposeful!
I have to say the detail i was most pround of were the lantern cluster! It was so awesome! Jessi had 36 white lanters. I concinced her to let me spray paint them and they looked SO CUTE! the only question was how exactly i could get them up there! a table and a 9 ft. ladder of course! (i know melanie got a picture of that!) my inital method was going to hang them by a magnetic hooks, but turns out clips were cheaper--so i got clips. I intended for the magnets to hold them, but the clip did the trick! the wind didn't get a single one! I have to admit i was SO PROUD of the creation! It made the space! (A side note about the cake--both this cake and the cake from the last wedding were designed from the same picture!)
Now for the major wind issue...the chocolate fountian! The ceremony was across the park at a cool cazeebo. I had the fountain set up and ready to go...then the wind came! Before the guests ever made it over to the reception area 6 lbs of chocolate had gone to the wind...so noone every saw/ate any of it! So far i'm 0-2 for the chocolate fountain! better luck next time!
Of course, just as the last wedding there were camera issues! I at least remembered to take pictures, but after a few snaps my battery died! UGH! At least melanie kept snapping away (that's her below!)
