Many think of weddings on the weekend, but over the years mid week weddings seem to be more frequent. So far this year we have had at least 2 weddings midweek every month since May. It seems to work and regardless of the day of the week.
Today's Thursday wedding is
expecting about 150 guests with, I would say, at least 30 folks before the ceremony helping with the decorating. Simply amazing. There was many details involved, they spent more time getting ready for this wedding then the actual ceremony & reception. The day simply flew by.
They had a unique setup all around. The patio was lined with vases of water inside floating candles, intended as a walkway for guests and the entry of the bride. It was pretty, but kids liked it too, in the end a couple vases ended up broken.
The ceremony was set with BeckenRidge chairs and they added their touches to the arch and the end posts bordering the vineyard and lawn with lanterns. Even the often forgotten patio with water fountain was decorated with lanterns and more.
They were working with a tight budget and wanted some food for their guests, so they decided on a light dessert bar and non alcoholic refreshments (they opted not to have alcohol which is okay here at BeckenRidge, we have no minimums). Capricorn Catering www.capricorncatering.com raised to the occasion and had a wonderful display that didn't last long before the guests found their favorite dessert.
The inside room was intended for dancing & mingling with only a few round tables for seating and mostly bistro tables. The reception was only to be a couple hours and the young couple wanted to make the most of that and spend it on the dance floor.
They had floor lamps reflecting purple and blue light off the walls. The DJ was on it in making the dance floor the focus of the evening. They could of danced all night. This wedding was short and sweet.
