On Claire's very first appointment at Touched by Angels, she knew exactly the themeing and look she hoped to achieve at her wedding reception.  Using Claire's key words of "Parisian", "Black and White", "Elegant", "Vintage", "Stunning", Salli worked with Claire to put together a simply breathtaking affair.

Flocked black and white table runners captured the eye from entry to this gorgeous wedding adding to the level of graceful sophistication. Black candelabra centerpieces co-ordinated brilliantly with the colour scheme and runners to achieve a vintage style enhanced by the soft pink glow of surrounding pink tea lights. Tall black bulb vases filled with soft pink and white cherry blossom added height and season to the tables as did the tall, majestic freestanding crystal and white fringe lampshades situated behind the bridal table. Pink tealight holders filled with white and pink lisianthus added a touch of romantic colour to the otherwise black and white tables.

White fitted lycra chair covers finished with an elegant black sash looked spectacular in this setting and the white bird cage wishing well, garnered with beautiful posies of soft pink and white lisianthus was also a wonderful treat for the eyes.  This also pulled together the lovely mockingbird theme of the placecards to look ever so pretty. The bridal table, topped with pink tea lights, table runners and black square vases filled with the elegant flowers looked picturesque as the lead table at this wonderfully detailed wedding.

"We are back to reality now and I just wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you! From the very start of the process you've been absolutely lovely to deal with you were so helpful from the very first meeting from giving me suggestions to setting up a mock table for me to see what it would look like. I loved all your ideas and how you understood what I wanted and what I was after seeing it wasn't the 'traditional' wedding type set up.

The room came out brilliantly on the day when we walked in to have a bit of a sneak peek we were blown away it was exactly what I was after!! So thank you so much and to all your girls that helped set it up on the day. We had so many comments from our friends and family about how good it looked."
