While many are still enjoying leftover turkey in various forms of consumption and eating pumpkin pie for breakfast from their Thanksgiving feast, I was delighted to spend the weekend handling the decorations and overall event styling for a different occasion. A precious couple were celebrating and giving thanks for each other by exchanging vows!
I was in charge of creating a farm-to-table themed scene for the bride and groom’s rehearsal dinner, which was a fun and fresh concept to bring to life.
I used the season itself to influence the colors and inspire a crisp, rustic, fall atmosphere. I focused on cranberry and muted teals with yellows to capture the indoor autumn ambiance.
The dinner was held in McKinney at a hotel and fed dozens of family members and friends who were excited to honor the couple coming together.
The menu featured traditional southern, farm-to-table foods – such as pot roast, mashed potatoes and chicken-fried chicken. The staples you’d expect for a country spread.
Based on the bride’s preferences for the theme and some of her wedding colors, I selected different elements to make this memorable dinner organically come together.
Wishing this bride and groom all the best in the years ahead of them! Here’s to many more commemorative dinner parties that bring their loved ones to the table moving forward! Check out some photos below!
