Using a bold blend of gold and black as the theme tones, a sophisticated venue was laid out for everyone to feel special at.

A chevron patterned runner with gold was used to give a fun touch to the tables. Black placemats were used to add a bold look while fantastic bottles were decorated in gold glitter to add glam to the tables.  For centerpieces black bottles were arranged in a group and had a massive black balloon floating above, drawing attention while still allowing guests to easily see each other.

The dessert table was a lovely creation with a personalized backdrop in black and gold that made a great centerpiece for the entire room.  With gold fabric on each side, this backdrop was a sophisticated addition to the venue. The table was covered in black and had two chevron runners that matched the guest tables. All of the snacks were placed with precision giving an elegant look to the whole table.  Tasty lemon mousse was offered in flutes.  Oreo pops were sprinkled with edible gold glitter, so they blended with the theme smoothly. Decadent cupcakes made a delicious addition with dark frosting and fantastic holders.

With all sorts of personalized touches like labels for each treat and tags on the treat sticks, this table advertised the theme spectacularly. From the golden sprinkled flutes to the glittered mason jars, this event was a glamorous way to celebrate.

This Love Is In The Air Bridal Shower was a picture of sophistication with a smooth blend of pink, black, and white decor.  Created by the fantastic Rachel of Rachel J Special Events, this celebration was an elegant gathering that could please any happy couple.

Held outdoors on a lovely, sunny day, this party had all the benefits of natural lighting and greenery to complement the set-up perfectly. Set under an awning, a long row of tables created a wonderful family seating arrangement that was sure to keep everyone cozy and comfortable.  

The tables were quite gorgeous with vintage style soft pink covers accented by black and clear chairs down each side.  The dishware used was exquisite, a mix of pink and black that stood out in pure style. Overflowing bouquets of flowers made perfect centerpieces, kept in low vases so the guests could see each other easily.

A gorgeous dessert table was set up with a sheer-white, flowing fabric backdrop, giving an elegant effect. The table was covered in white, making it an excellent base for the adorable decorations and delightful treats. Love was spelled out in oversized white letters across the front of the table, drawing attention beautifully. A row of adorable black coasters had a pattern of cute little treats on them, creating a fantastic border. Sweets included at this party were detailed smoothly to match the theme.  Chocolate covered pretzels and strawberries made an enticing option for the guests to enjoy.  Cake pops were frosted beautifully and placed to accent the cake fantastically.  Because this was a celebration with both the bride and groom to be it only made sense to have not one delicious cake, but three! Two black cakes were set to each side of the pink one in the center, topped with tasty white flower art.  The pink cake had cute little bride and groom balls that were smoothly frosted.
