The Reception

Kirsten, Bill, and about 100 guests celebrated with a cocktail and hors d'oeuvres reception in the Oak Room at the Tournament Club of Iowa. In a room already accented by purples, oranges, and browns, the Arts and Crafts style architecture spoke for itself and didn't need much decoration. Kirsten used the same burnt orange and red papers from the invitations to make place cards for the immediate family table. Branches with red berries were strewn loosely around the tables, with more than 100 votives lighting up the space. Glass hurricane vases with tall candles were wrapped with red glass beads for centerpieces. And above the dance floor, the couple hung paper lanterns in various shapes, sizes, and colors that coordinated with their warm color scheme.
