The Jade Flower: Alexandra and Steve's Reception

The Bouquet:

Alex's colors were purple, teal and lime. In this bouquet, I tried to capture Alex's colorful playfulness. I used a couple of shades of purple to add depth to the bouquet, and made a festive handle to match the feel of the wedding overall. I used peacock feathers and peacock crystals throughout the bouquet.

Detail of the handle:
Lattice style purlple and lime ribbons criss-cross over the teal base.

Boutonniere:
Alex and Steve had a peacock theme. The boutonnieres added a unique element while furthering the theme of the wedding.

Cake Topper
The cake topper used fresh flowers from the wedding theme and peacock feathers.

Fans
I used fans to decorate the gazebo that housed the cake. They added a bright and festive flair to the area without detracting from the cake.

Lanterns
Lanterns and tissue balls were used throughout the reception area. They added color and interest. Additionally it gave a bit of an asian/exotic feel, which went along nicely with the peacock theme.

Monogram
The monogram was used to decorate the popcorn bags at her popcorn stand.

Peacock Theme:

I created this picture for her sign-in table. It let the guests see immediately the relevance of the peacock feathers incorporated throughout the decor. I also really liked the symbolism!

Centerpieces and Tables
The wind today was awful! It was a panic setting these up, but with a lot of tape, we got the tablecloths stuck down, and luckily the wind died just before the reception began. Curse the East Spanish Fork bench wind!

For the centerpieces, I used a sprig of curvy peacock feathers, which added a more interesting visual than single peacock feathers. I used lime green orchids, which had a little purple center, and purple lisianthus in tall colored vases. The vases are my favorite find of this wedding. They were on sale half-off, and had all of the wedding colors! They added an exotic flavor more than a traditional eiffel tower vase would have.
