A POSH Event: Edna married Derrick (Reception)

Happy Friday!

As the week is coming to a close, I thought what better way to celebrate the weekend than with a little cheer.

Edna and Derrick's reception took place immediately after their ceremony in the ballroom at Scotland Run. Guest were greeted by a feast of food selections, everything from waffles to salads-the spread was truly amazing (and delicious!). Morning or not, we definitely had a room full of dancers and Centerstage Entertainment kept the party going.

At the end of the reception the bartender came over and told us in his 13 years at the facility, it was the best wedding he'd ever worked!

The happy couple.

(You can't see so much from this particular picture but the linen I selected for the design of this room was phenomenal. Fuchsia with orange sunburst swirls. Perfect for a brunch reception)

I must give a shout out to my team members for the day Deidre and Sai. I'm really fortunate to work with the best gals a girl could ask for!



Edna & Derrick, this experience has been amazing and I'm glad that you've allowed me to spend more time with your family. Looking forward to many more laughs!

A POSH Event: Edna married Derrick (Ceremony)

Edna and Derrick were more like family than most of our couples. Mainly because I met Edna (and Derrick actually) in 2008 when she was in her sister Sheilla's wedding.

When Edna and Derrick first arrived at the studio, their request was simple: Beautiful, colorful and fun. They wanted wanted full coordination of a brunch reception and a out of this world party. We assembled a superb vendor team and I think the couple would agree, they definitely got their wish!

Having previously worked with the family of the bride, I knew we were in for a great time. What I wasn't expecting, was how involved Derrick was. Derrick and I would often attend vendor meetings and consult on wedding items in Edna's absence. It was great working with an active groom.

The ceremony was to be a true reflection of their life and family. Reverend Melissa Brown officiated the ceremony on the beautiful grounds of Scotland Run Golf Course where Kelly and her team worked their magic and the vows were recited in both english and spanish. The groom entered the outdoor space to Alicia Keys "unthinkable" and to say there wasn't a dry eye in the space, is an understatement.

This is Edna just before we left for the ceremony.


The couple wanted vibrant, cheerful colors. The room was filled with pinks, yellows and orange. Edna wanted everyone to remember it was a wedding-no black allowed!

I usually try to come up with a clever way to describe client weddings but in this instance, I think I will let the photo speak for itself.
