A holiday Soiree at the Hutton Ballroom, Part II

Weddings and Events

A continuation of pictures from my post on the holiday party we did last year. Images by the oh-so-wonderful Mr.Donald Yeager:
The holiday tree cluster:

I absolutely love decorating Christmas trees. It’s one of my favorite things about the holiday season!

A full-length shot of one of our arrangements for the party– these flanked either side of the ballroom behind the bars:

Submerged orchids are accented with golden wire:

On the red touched centerpieces, we added glittered gold Ilex, some red fantail accents, and then completed the arrangement with orchid blossoms, gold ting ting, and gold birch branches. The base is white hydrangea:

And the white version just had no ilex, and more gold accents:



Love this backlit image of one of the centerpieces, so awesome:

What a lovely holiday soiree! I am so excited about this year’s!

Special thanks to Donald Yeager and Kristyn Hogan for the beautiful images, the Hutton Hotel for the gorgeous setting, and BBJ for the beautiful linens.

A Holiday Soiree

Weddings and Events

Last Christmas, we had the pleasure of decorating a gorgeous holiday party held at the Hutton Hotel inside the beautiful Vista Ballroom. Kristyn Hogan & my fiance Don Yeager came out and took some beautiful pictures to document this lovely party, and I’ve been waiting ALL YEAR to share these images–it always feels weird to blog about the holidays when it’s not the holiday season, so FINALLY….here we go!

One half of all of our centerpieces were in white & gold only: a topper of white hydrangea, white cymbidium orchids, gold manzanita, white dendrobium orchids, gold ting ting and gold fantail accents, with trumpet vases with submerged orchids & gold wire accents:

And the other half had red James Storeii orchids worked in for a pop of vivid red:

We also decorated a trio of lovely trees to match the decor:


Our red and gold trees had red and gold ornaments, ribbon, and berries.




Our green, white and gold trees had gold pears, birds, and green and gold and white ornaments with glittery accents.

More lovely images tomorrow!

    This looks amazing! I love the red and gold trees, it’s one of my favorite color combinations for Christmas.
