The Reception Decor

Alison carefully conceived romantic mood lighting for the reception as well. I think that candlelight is so romantic, she says, and I didn't want to lose that feeling once we moved to the reception. Flickering votives and fall-theme topiary centerpieces in gold-painted pots (created by the mother of the bride and the maid of honor) topped each table named after anything that had to do with love and marriage. Alison was insistent on refining the look of the ivory satin chair covers with a bronze organza ribbon. Chair covers are a must! she says. They made our room look like a fairy-tale. I hand-tied all 300 to make sure that they were perfect.
