There is something so romantic, so magical about a reception at night. The twinkle lights, the candles, the glow…it’s just so beautiful. Today’s wedding truly sparkled as the sun went down…

From the absolutely beautiful bride, Laura…
We chose the clear top tents to let the live oak trees and stars provide the backdrop. From there – we studded the roofline of the tent with wooden lanterns and candles illuminated the long Tuscan-style dinner tables. The centerpieces and cake design tied the rustic-elegant concept together entirely. Moving into the cocktail and dancing tent the massive antique mirror-fronted wooden bar and iron lanterns echoed the feeling of the dinner tent – while offering a new design element, providing the perfect atmosphere to dance the night away.
Blue Moon Events ALWAYS puts together incredible affairs, but there is something so warm, so inviting about this one. LOVE! There were also a handful of other vendors that made the entire day beautiful…
The amazing flowers were crafted by Tiger Lily. The catering was done by Patrick Properties and the ridiculously lovely invitations and accouterments were designed by Dulles Designs. The gorgeous cake was made by Elaine’s Events and the Band was the Pat Patrick Band. Great job everyone!
This makes me even more excited about my wedding this fall in a cleartop tent. Any idea on how they strung the lanterns? So romantic!

I look at every posting on SMP and although all are breathtaking this is one where only looking at a couple picture makes me want to see every aspect of this wedding. It has such a warm feeling and just simply elegant at the same time. The tent is just to die for!

I love the reception decor! Wonderful textures all wrapped up in a soft luminous glow... The gorgeous peridot colored glasses remind of the "fleur de lys" tumblers found at Anthropologie.
