These pictures are more accurate as to how the tented ceiling feels with the overhead lights off. A lot of the newer churches have the canned lighting overhead that you can turn on, dimly, to get a little more of a spotlight feel.

This season Purple and Black are the hot colors! Notice the Food Banquet Tables located in the middle of the tented ceiling. The large arrangement in the center brings the eye up and gives a fantastic focal point.

Beware that deep purples and eggplant can be a tricky color to capture in photography without looking indigo. This is an example…but I’m a decorator not a photographer! If you are doing these colors, talk to your photographer about wanting the exact shade represented in your photos. Notice how rich these deep colors make the tented ceiling appear.

Chair Covers can make such a huge difference. Compare with other photos.

These pictures don’t do this gorgeous wedding justice! We had to turn on the overhead lights because my flash on my camera wasn’t working and it just ruined the ambience. But at least you can see the unique color choice and design ideas.

Just about the only thing that can soften and reduce the echo in an all marble corrider would be some kind of elegant drapery. We wanted to create a faux ceiling for a more intimate setting, but at the same time, not distracting the eye from the grandeur of romanesque marble column and shiny gold buttresses. I think we accomplished something spectacular with the dynamic angles of the fabric we hung. This can be done in any two story room with an open balcony AND nothing is nailed, taped or tied to the building structure itself.

This is a perfect example of creating elegance with a splash of fun. Nothing says “classy” more than Ivory and Black. Notice the way we alternated the tablecloths on the banquet tables to collaborate with the fun feel of the lime green runners with poka-dots.

Creating different looks with Spotlighting!

Mood lighting and candles create such an intimate feeling at a wedding. This bride had me put candles everywhere. Wrapping them in turquoise ribbon gave it a custom look to fit her style and colors.

This bride wanted an outdoor spring wedding more than anything. So even though snow covered the ground, her guests partied the night away in a beautiful indoor garden! The accented peacock feathers were a special request of the bride.
