Kayla & Mike 12.18.09

Kayla & Mike's reception followed a candlelit ceremony on the large patio for their 170 guests. The colors were ivory, chocolate, and apple green...a very unique combination for a winter/Christmas-time wedding!


Half of the centerpieces were tall glass cylinder vases with large calla lilies, and the other half were green apples. Upstairs tables had miniature versions of the same arrangements. Each table had 10+ votive candles, plus three taller floating candles in individual glass holders.


Each place setting included a tasty chocolate-covered apple.


I love the modern style of this cake!


The upstairs overflow room was a great spot for entertaining the kids.


Catering: Behind the Bash
Flowers: Wedding Flowers by Lisa

Congratulations Kayla & Mike!

What a beautiful fall wedding! Here are a few photos from Christen & Joey's reception last month. Enjoy!

The Wedding Wishes Tree was a fun way to have guests record their well wishes and advice as they entered the reception after the cocktail hour.







Congratulations Christen & Joey! Everyone seemed to have such a great time at your wedding!

Megan & Donny 11.28.09

Last weekend The Gallery hosted Megan & Donny's wedding with a theme of black & white damask with accents of green. All the personal touches really made it a unique event, and Lisa & Nathan with LOLA Catering + Events did an amazing job bringing it all together.


I loved their idea of attaching black & white engagement photos all around the ledge between the 1st and 2nd floor. It came out really well!





Another fun idea was this "photo booth" that guests could stand behind to have their photo taken. Surrounding the framed cut-outs were pictures from Megan & Donny's family members' weddings. Megan's photographer friend, and future Gallery bride April, was on hand to snap the photos.


Congratulations Megan & Donny! It has been wonderful working with you over the past year, and I wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Catherine & BJ 11.7.09

What a beautiful wedding! Catherine & BJ hosted 200 family and friends for their wedding reception last weekend, and I think it's safe to say everyone had a great time! (I think Catherine can attest to the fact that your wedding day really flies by, so enjoy every minute!)

The guest book table...


During the cocktail hour, the guests enjoyed passed appetizers and an open bar by Behind the Bash on the large patio area.


The entertainment was provided by The Works, a fabulous 10-piece band from Avalon Music.


Elegant Beginnings Linens and Wedding Flowers by Lisa decorated the tables in ivory, with touches of green, gold, and chocolate brown.




The always-wonderful Cakes by Gina made the gorgeous bride's cake and the impressive oil derrick groom's cake.



Congratulations to the bride & groom! It was such a pleasure working with you!

Tatyana & Jeff 10.4.09

It was a perfect fall-themed wedding, and the rain stopped just in time for the outdoor ceremony! White twinkle-lights were hung over the dance floor and draped behind the sweetheart table, giving the room a very cozy, romantic feeling.






Congratulations Tatyana & Jeff!

Kristin & Daniel 9.26.09

Kristin and Daniel hosted their reception at The Gallery in September, with a beautiful autumn theme. They dressed up the outdoor patios by bringing in potted plants and flowers.



Inside, the head table was the focal point, with the sweetheart table in the center and 2 tables of 6 for the bridesmaids and groomsmen. Goode Company BBQ provided the delicious appetizers and dinner.



Floral arrangements were done by Fresh Blooms of Houston.



And the cakes were by Cakes by Gina.


Best wishes Kristin & Daniel!
