If you were one of the millions who woke before the crack of dawn to watch the royal wedding last month, in your stupor you may have realized that William and Kate had a morning wedding.  While a morning wedding seems a little out of the ordinary in the US, a morning wedding is not unusual in the UK.  English law used to require that weddings take place between 9 am and noon.  The Royal Family has kept to the old tradition of morning weddings followed by a wedding breakfast.

Over the last few years, there’s been an upsurge in the number of American couples planning morning weddings.  There are advantages to morning weddings.   In the South, a morning wedding can save you from the oppressive heat that can last deep into the evening. Often, you may find that there may be more venue options available, or that a venue will be less expensive during the day.  The menu for a brunch or breakfast reception is usually less expensive than the cost of an evening meal.

Considering a breakfast or brunch wedding reception?

Interested in providing business partners or clients with a fabulous breakfast meeting?

We are here to exceed your expectations!

A beautiful centerpiece is every bit as important as lovely linens when setting the table for a reception.

Nearly anything goes when it comes to a centerpiece!  We’ve seen everything from floral arrangements, candles and photos to cowboy boots.   But, there is some wisdom to keep in mind as you plan for your table decorations.  An appropriate centerpiece provides the table with a focal point, establishes a balance to the table, and allows your guests to be able to see one another and what is happening around them.

A dramatic setting is created with our Black and White damask table cloths accompanied by white chair covers with black satin sashes.  Tropical Amazon roses created simple, yet elegant centerpieces.

Plaza Lecea was the scene of one of our favorite events ever!    Our bride, Stephanie,  had amazing taste and her colorful personality really shone at her wedding and reception.

The church pews were decorated with our bishop hooks adorned with pink hydrangea, orange coxcomb, hot pink spray roses, pink stock, orange tulips, pompon dahlia and fresh wispy greenery.  Stephanie  chose to have us transport the arrangements to the site of the reception  where we used them to flank the entrance.  What a great way to a carry her décor throughout the entire event and save money as well.

At the reception, the sign in guest table was covered in our black pin tuck linen, adorned with a large centerpiece of curly willow with bright colored ranunculus. Tables were adorned in our black damask linens and napkins with black self-tie chaircovers.  Against the dramatic black backdrop, the colorful and elegant centerpieces really popped!

The guest table centerpieces were composed of our large tall cylinder vase filled with water crystals.  A top vase was filled with an arrangement of pink hydrangea, orange coxcomb, orange protea, hot pink spray roses, pink stock, orange tulips, large hot pink fluffy mums, and pompon dahlia adorned with touch of fresh greenery.   Alternating tables were decorated with a trio of 7×7 inch square vases containing hydrangea, orange cox comb, and orange chrysanthemum.
