When our client Melissa first contacted us, we knew this was going to be a fantastic event! Melissa had been busy planning the finishing details regarding her wedding day, when she realized that she now needed to do the rehearsal dinner. She was completely out of energy and inspiration and wasn't sure where to start to make her families stunning backyard functional for a formal rehearsal dinner.
She basically picked out the color scheme, and allowed us to come up with the entire design concept. This was so much fun, and the color palette was not at all like her wedding colors, so this would be an event all on it's own.
We used the hot pink in the accents like floral, favor boxes, and ribbon for the place cards. Since this dinner was outside we had to keep the possible St Louis weather in mind. The edible favors, yummy brownies by Holly Berry Baking, were put in a hot pink take out box. Then Two Blue Doors, Inc. created tags that said "love is sweet." Also, to prevent place cards from blowing away they were tied to the back of the chairs adding just the right personal touch.
How much more dramatic then guests entering the property with hot pink luminary bags flanking the driveway. They were then met with a long romantic dinner table, complete with white paper lanterns hanging from the trees. The lanterns also sported a hot pink ribbon to give just the right pop of color.
We used hot pink roses, Gomphrena, Carnations,and Coxcomb in modern black vases. When the sun went down the table lit up with romance from the large amount of candles we used. The day was perfect weather for the couple to enjoy their family before their wedding day. Thanks Melissa for allowing us to design your rehearsal dinner.
