Leyvi and James' McNay Wedding

Leyvi and James were married yesterday at The McNay. If you're a follower of the blog, I'm sure you saw their sample tree a couple of weeks ago and saw them right along with it. Well here they are, all dolled up for the wedding. Because the set up was so involved, I didn't get to see them until this moment during the cocktail hour, when their coordinator Stacey DeWine of Panache brought them into the room for a reveal. I was so happy to see them, and their reaction was priceless-I should have taken a video! But, I got some really cute pictures. :)

When they came in, it was a chorus of "Oh my God"s and "Look at that!"s. Leyvi almost started crying, and James was just all smiles.

I love that Leyvi opted to wear a corsage instead of carry a bouquet. I didn't get any better shots of it than this, but it was cymbidiums, monkey tail, ivory hypericum, crystals and ferns, on lace that went smashingly with her veil!

So..this is the head table tree. The base of it was actually on the ground, not the tables, and the tables were pushed up around it. Height from the floor was around 12 feet.

These were the tall guest table centerpieces. The colors really popped against that blue lighting! Lighting in the McNay is a must. Really, it makes any wedding look so fabulous!

And the low centerpieces were so fun! We did custom live-moss wrapped vases with a mix of the bright reds, magentas, corals, greens, and yellows. And there is monkey tail in them which is one of my all time favorite things, so of course I just loved these beauties.

This Exclusive Cake Shop cake was simply stunning! The gold painted details and little golden butterflies were so delicate and perfect, I was just so impressed with the work. All the roses were brought and put on by the baker, but we added the moss and succulents around the base to make it all come together. :)
