Spring time decor.....

As many of our readers know we (Lacy Branch Events along with my ABC Local Networking Co-Director Lisa Zweifel) recently hosted a Regional Meeting for The Association of Bridal Consultants here in St Louis. The event was held at the newly renovated Hyatt Regency St. Louis at the Arch. From a design aspect, we had to design three very distinct rooms. The first was the welcome reception, which we posted last week. The second was breakfast, which is what we are going to show you today. The last was the luncheon, which we will showcase later in the week.

For the breakfast, we wanted to really showcase Spring! I think we really acheieved this. With the use of tables used in a unique T-Shape, it allowed attendees the ability to talk with others in a comfortable atmosphere. The T-shape also created quite the statement when attendees walked into the room.


Lisa Gallagher, from Belli Fiori really out did herself. When I sat down with her we discussed the various vases sizes, shapes, colors, etc. Then we both got very excited at the possibilities! I could not have been happier. She used tulips, peonies, Then in the middle of the table for a big statement she used forsythia branches in two large vases and had button mums on the outside of the vases. Stunning!


Next on the design trip was meeting with Beth from Two Blue Doors, Inc. We did not have charger plates in the budget for this meeting. But no worries, Beth suggested using the menus as a charger or placemat type. They were darling, and quite the conversation piece.


Connie Duglin donated the linen for the breakfast, after I feel in love with the "Cosmic Pink" pintuck. The linen was actually the inspiration for my design. We used monochromatic pink napkins. Then we used 4 different types of napkin rings, to really add to the eclectic theme.

The Hyatt provided an amazing breakfast that consisted of omelet, and oatmeal stations, as well as other continental fare.

I had so many favorites in this room, but one that I was EXTREMELY thrilled by, were the brand new to St Louis, crystal chiavari chairs! When I say brand new, I mean brand new. The chairs were provided by none other than The Aries Company. Many of my readers know that I am not personally a fan of chair covers (sorry guys) But especially with a design like this, with the impact being the center of the table. I did not want chair covers to detract from it. But these chairs were just the thing I needed to compliment the look while not taking away from it. You can rent them for your wedding at The Aries Company!


The place cards were provided by a fellow ABC Member placecards.com.

Thank you to all of our amazing vendors for a truly breathtaking and happy breakfast event!
