The reception was held at the Hermitage Hotel. Outside in the lobby, guests found their seating assignments by reading their names from cards printed on the same golden paper that the programs were printed upon– designed and printed by Brocade:

Gold Table Frames and Place Cards

Present Cake

The guest tables were decorated in a white color scheme: tall white centerpieces with white and cream roses, denrobium orchids, gold ting, manzanita, gold branches, and hand-strung crystals made up the top of the arrangement. The base of the vases were filled with submerged orchids and branches.

Orchid and rose centerpiece
Cyllinders filled with submerged flowers and floating candles rested on the tables, along with placecards, solitary rose blossoms, and votives.

A close up view of the centerpieces: all of the swarkovski crystal and freshwater pearl strands were hand-strung.

The guest tables featured handmade menu cards with a pearlescent brick red backing and menu card printed on gold paper designed and printed by Brocade:

red and gold menu card
Each menu card was placed within a gold napkin and then upon a crackled gold charger.

Brocade designed and made these table lumniaries with gold-dust vellum and red ribbon:

Table luminaries
You’ll notice all of the fonts and colors are matching and cooresponding with the other elements: the programs, menu cards, luminaries, place cards, and luminaries are all complementary

I love this picture: you can see the Christmas Tree in the corner, i think it adds a great amount of depth!

The bride was breathtaking in her ivory gown and birdcage veil and 1950s hairdo. She was styled to the hilt and looked amazing!

A closer look at the bride’s bouquet

The bride’s favorite season is Christmas, and the bridesmaids gowns were a beautiful deep scarlet. They carried bouquets of white calla lilies, white peony, and red roses, with gold-touched creamy-green hypericum berries

The maid of honor’s bouquet was slightly different and was touched with gold:
