Tasty Tuesday #8 + wedding details: lots of purple and green

For Liz and Ryan’s wedding at the Carnegie Museum last summer, they chose a purple and green theme. They did a fabulous job carrying that theme through all of their wedding details. Such creativity! There’s a lot to see, so I’m going to try to keep my commentary to a minimum. I’ll try.

Many of Liz and Ryan’s guests came from out of town. This bottle of yinzer blanc was just one of the items in these personalized gift bags waiting for each guest at their hotel.

The green they used was such a nice, light, summery green.Love the contrast between the light green hydrangeas and the deep purple bridesmaid dresses.A purple-and-green iced chocolate-covered pretzel awaited each guest at the reception.Who says the bridesmaids are the only ones to carry out the purple and green theme? The groomsmen sported customized Converse sneakers.And matching argyle socks, too.And finally, we get to the tasty part of Tasty Tuesday! This was an exceptional cookie table display. Can you see what that little mountain of cookies behind the sign is?Fortune cookies iced in purple and green! I loved these. So festive and fun.And more chocolate dipped pretzels. YUM.Last but definitely not least… these monogrammed sugar cookies. Look how perfect they are!

Reception Venue:
Carnegie Museum Music Hall Foyer

Caterer: Parkhurst

Flowers: Reed & Petal’s, Beth Soergel (Reception)

Bridesmaids’ Dresses: Priscilla of Boston

Silver/white flush mount wedding album

Ah, wedding albums… the possibilities are endless. One color, two colors, photo on the cover, no photo on the cover… it’s up to you.

I love seeing what my clients choose, and whenever possible, I try to shoot a few photos of albums before I send them on their way. In the realm of better-late-than-never, I’d like to share Katie and Chris’s album. This was delivered to them back in December, but with the hustle and bustle of the holidays, I didn’t get a chance to share. This one is stunning! The silver shimmers and is set off by the white accent strip, and I love how the lines of the convention center walkway complement the horizontal accent strip.
