Mission Inn Bridal Expo – January 25, 2010

The first Bridal Expo of the year at the Historic Mission Inn in Riverside was a huge success!  With the amount of brides limited to such a small number, I was able to speak in greater detail about their wedding vision!  We decorated the St. Francis of Assisi Chapel as it would be in the Mission Inn’s “Enhancement Package.”  This is my favorite look for the Chapel!  Less is definitely more!  The flowers on the front railing can be transferred to the Head Table and the flowers on the chairs can be transferred to the Cake Table!  The linens and chairs in the Spanish Art Gallery were provided by Elegant Design Specialty Linens.  I have fabric samples in my studio of all available linens, so both your flowers and linens can be chosen on the same day!

Bridal Open House at the Historic Mission Inn January 10, 2010

The Historic Mission Inn in Riverside held it’s first Bridal Open House of the year on January 10. For the first time, they decided to give participating vendors a theme for the show. Our theme of Diamonds & Pearls was a HUGE success! Also for the first time, some of the Guest Rooms were also open for viewing. We had the pleasure of decorating these guest rooms along with the Galleria. We draped Ivory chiffon across the room from the chandeliers, along with hanging crystal balls adorned with fresh flowers. The high centerpieces were dripping with crystals that sparkled from the specialty lighting and many candles. The alternate centerpieces sat upon crystal containers that also sparkled from the many candles!

I met so many brides eager to start planning their dream wedding day! I look forward to speaking with you again soon!
