Congratulations to our beautiful couple Pilar and John married August 8th, 2009 at a boutique hotel in downtown San Jose.
Guests were greeted into a lavish but intimate ceremony setting in an outdoor covered patio with splashing fountains spilling with floral heads, walls of candles twinkling, fabric walls, a large fabric and floral covered structure to anchor the ceremony spot, and ice chivaris complete with custom chair covers. A thoughtful touch, each guest recieved a wooden fan on their chair to keep them cool on a slightly warmer day than most. A spanish guitarist played as a prelude to the big event.
After the ceremony concluded, guests were escorted into a jazz lounge to enjoy more guitar, signature cocktails, champagne, and lots of hors d'oeuvres. Curtains were drawn between the jazz lounge and the ceremony space, and within an hour's time what was once the ceremony site, was now the reception space. Spotlighting peeked out from over the large fabric wall to illuminate the most amazing collection of silver containers holding raspberry and plum florals which ran up and down the arms of each length of the horseshoe shaped king's dining table. Custom built table toppers of acrylic made the tables have an even more special touch. Couture bridal table linens in deep purple and raspberry adorned all tables. Candles were abundant. Square silver chargers were belted with napkins and topped with custom boxes of chocolates for each guest's enjoyment. The ceremony chairs were transformed with a small chair cap on each. And of course an escort card table to show guests where to sit complete with custom cards, and an apocathary jar treatment with florals. Guests also enjoyed a custom-built plexiglass bar that was see-through, including pomander balls in the base of each, and a petal-filled top, all lit up!
Special lighting made a big impression on such a small place, uplights all around, in the fountains, on the table, on the escort card table, on the bar, and a special custom logo on the dance floor.
Congratulations to a beautiful couple on their special day!
