Recent events

Whew! June is over and I made it out alive! Check out some of my recent events....

Jenna's reception at Red Butte, she used my ostrich feather centerpieces and they turned out gorgeous! Such a fun theme with colorful accents everywhere including one colored feather in each centerpiece.

This is Joanne and Elliot's reception at Red Butte. Such a cute young couple, I wish them all the best in their life together! We used blue mason jars as centerpieces and accents throughout the ceremony and reception.
