International Market Square Wedding Reception

It was a magical night at International Market Square last week.

I had the privilege of decorating the wedding reception of a beautiful young woman and her new husband.  

I can't say how much fun it was working with D'amico Catering and IMT!  We dropped off my vintage cake stands a day early, and they designed the dessert bar from the cake stands.  Anyone watch Sweet Genius on Thursday nights? (it is my favorite show)  Anyway, he always gives the contestants an inspiration piece to use to inspire the desserts (usually weird or funny objects like a turkey or a clown or Noah's Ark.)  I was so excited to have my cake stands be the (hopefully not weird), but very sweet and charming inspiration piece.

Here are the pictures of the kitchen way down under.  It was so much fun riding the freight elevator down and finding our way through the maze of underground halls and seeing chefs in white coats all over the place.  The head pastry chef was so kind and generous, and the staff was top-notch professional!  Here are a few random pictures of my cake stands in the fridge and of the kitchen.  

And this, my Friends, is the magnificent International Market Square Atrium.  I love all the design shops and the awesome feel that this landmark has to it.

We had just 3 hours to transform this place into a Vintage Themed Reception.  I was in such a hurry I am even blurry in the picture.  I am sure that is because I was moving at the speed of lightening.  Or maybe it was just because I was Bionic Woman for 3 hours.

It went great.  Because we were in such a hurry, I had my kids help out.   

They were very professional.

Don't you agree?

Actually, I told them they were not allowed to act like teens, they had to be professionals.  And boy howdy, they did all that we asked and more.  They saved the sillies for the clean-up after all the guests and the wedding family were long gone ;o)

I will leave it to the professionals to take the pictures of the reception.  My camera didn't do it justice.  Check back in a few weeks for the pictures to be posted when they arrive from the photographer!

All of the table cloths and supplies I used to decorate with are now available for rent.  Leave a comment if you are interested and I will get back to you right away!
