Oh So Chic Wedding & Event Planning: Real Wedding (A vow renewal celebration): Stefani & Linzie

When Stefani first called me to inquire about my services I knew she going to be a ton of fun to work with. She was very specific about her needs and expectations. She explained to me how her and her husband Linzie had been married for 17 years and that when they married it was a simple ceremony at the courthouse. She told me that they were originally going to try and do a vow renewal celebration at their 15 year anniversary but how that had come and gone. She stated that life is too precious and she didn't want to wait for year 20. I met with Stefani & Linzie at their home and we began to discuss the details of the event. We hit it off immediately and I knew this would be a planning experience to remember.

The "theme" of the celebration was known as "The Journey". This was symbolizing all of the many experiences, good times and bad and roads traveled by this beautiful couple. The decor was the most important aspect of the event for Stefani and she truly wanted their guests to enjoy a fun and exciting experience. She was all about the bling. Anything that sparkled, gleamed or shimmered was incorporated amongst the eggplant, victorian lilac, silver and black colore pallette. We incorporated the journey theme through the custom logo that Jenn from Pink Star Designs created. The wedding included a red carpet welcome with a custom photo backdrop and tray passed champagne. Some of the delectable delights guests enjoyed were a crab cake station and purple margarita punch cocktails affectionately named "Love & Happiness". The wedding also included: Two areas of lounge furniture, a candy buffet, custom white oval dance floor, crystal encrusted tables and bar, a second photo booth, bedazzled bon bon chocolate favors and more. It was truly an affair to remember.
