A White Wedding and a Colorful Reception

Posted April 20, 2009 by Stephanie Ginzburg

Irene Laura and Daniel Gutierrez recently had their wedding with us and they did a wonderful job using their ceremony to define one part of them and their reception to define another part of them. In order to accomplish this they used different color schemes and different locations (taking advantage of both our land and sea facilities

Both Irene and Daniel believe that the exchange of wedding vows is the most important part of a wedding and that the ceremony should take center stage. Their wedding on the Dandeana featured a traditional, white and ivory color palette that did not compete with, but perfectly complimented, their belief in the sanctity of the ceremony. Our in-house florist did a beautiful job with the different white florals and crystal accents. Their color choice did not distract from the natural scenery, after all they did get married on a yacht with the Pacific Ocean as their backdrop!

For the reception they moved the party inside to our Yacht Club, which has plenty of room for music and dancing. During the planning process they knew that with the change in venue, they also wanted a dramatic change in ambiance. Irene and Daniel are a fun, vibrant and sexy couple that loves to dance and wanted to convey that side of them through their reception décor, since their ceremony was going to be very traditional. They were unsure how to create the right look and I decided to focus on choosing dramatic table linens because linens are a high impact item. We spent hours pouring over colorful linens and finally found a dramatic, red, satin linen with an eye-popping print. The moment I saw their reaction I knew it was the perfect fabric! From that point on everything from the flowers to the cake table fell perfectly into place.

So, what did Irene and Daniel’s wedding décor say about them? They are a traditional couple, with good taste, that is not afraid to let loose and have some fun!
