Real Wedding Ceremony and Featured! Cherrie and Jorge

Cherrie and Jorge wanted something so special and unique that I really took pleasure in creating their sparkle filled and romance laced wedding day. They were married in the fall of 2013 at Stone Manor Country Club in Maryland with a small intimate wedding filled with candle light and sparkly lights. Their wedding was featured earlier this year on Style Me Pretty that you can see Here .

Cherrie wanted the colors of her wedding to be hues of dusty lilac and pink and accents of sparkle and silver. They were married under a large tree next to the Manor House. The bride carried a textured purple bouquet with ranunculus and roses while the maids for lilac in a beautiful chiffon material. guests sprinkled the couple with lavender as they walked down the aisle as man and wife!

Sparkle Garland

Add a little sparkle to any event or as a backdrop to a gorgeous New Years Ceremony, this Sparkle Garland is a beautiful DIY option. Since most venues wont allow a permanent bar in place, a good option is to rent pipe and drape to be placed and then drape the garland on that instead. Enjoy this tutorial from Apartment Therapy and add a little sparkle!
