Kat + Thomas were married and had their reception at the Union Bank Inn. It is a small but very beautiful venue. They had a casino/Las Vegas theme, with purple and teal being their theme colors (which look spectacular together!)
The bride had made the trees for wishing trees but they were also used at the front of the room beside the fireplace mantel. They had a beautiful custom unity candle and a memory floating candle on each side of the ceremony.
For the reception, they did not want a dance. They wanted a fun money casino that was also a mystery that needed to be solved by the guests. It was extremely neat and the guests definitely enjoyed the change in entertainment. I have more décor photos coming up – you’ll have to see the beautiful centerpieces, but those are being processed by a professional so now these will have to do!

So take note of the place mats, they are from recycle cardboard. I used a template (scrapbook paper - from my favorite place 
Wood cookies sliced from some trees my dad had to chop down - also very eco friendly 
The table number was cut from a tree I found in the local eco waste dump 
With the exception of my favorite find - the silver frog. What silver frog? Well the center piece of flowers is sitting in what is known as a frog. It contains several holes to put flowers in - kind of a cheating way of making arrangements at home. It’s an antique I scored for $20, it’s worth way more than that, say $75+. They are rare and hard to find in such good condition and in real silver. I use to work at an antique store (another one of my interesting and fun jobs) so I know a lot of random information on antiques and love a good find! I also have an exquisite collection of antique compacts (they were just stunning back in the 1920-1940’s) and antique Swarovski jewelery that was made by a Canadian jeweler.
Well rain wasn’t exactly what we wanted, but the snow that followed the rain in the evening luckily held off until the evening! Christine and Jon are two extremely beautiful people who are very caring and fun - their smiles were contagious!
(Isn’t she absolutely stunning?)
For their guestbook they had a scroll for people to sign - which they were placing in a bottle (message in a bottle) to save for later on in life.
Thank you again for allowing me to be part of your very special wedding. I hope you enjoy your month in Hawaii
