If within budget definitely get yourself a GREAT wedding planner- @forever_refined_events. I really hated the look of the reception when we looked at the venue, so I knew it had to transform it. @forever_refined_events really helped make my vision come to light. For the entry way, I did a tunnel that would drape open to the reception. I wanted to create an experience for our guests. We even had a hidden bar which was probably my fav. Long tables and rounds had different center pieces and table set up! The lamps are from @ikeausa! The sweetheart table was on a mini stage so we had florals cascading down to the cake table. What always stayed consist in my wedding designs was the black and white dance floor. @forever_refined_events also came up with the idea of placing our favorite scent around the room to give a smell to the area as well. The way she designed the bar was chefs kiss! I mean everything was perfection!
