Emily and Brendan didn’t wait until their wedding reception to go all out on celebrating with friends and family — they held a fiesta-inspired rehearsal dinner complete with live music and dancers at the President George Bush Library in Dallas. We worked with Allday Events on this dinner that featured an amped-up version of the wedding-day color palette of pinks and oranges.

Much of the design inspiration came from the table linens — a major focal point full of hot pink, orange, red, purple and blue that we used in the floral design. Tables held low, lush arrangements as centerpieces that played off of the vibrant color scheme without clashing, and to create the perfect amount of busy-ness.

To embellish the bar area, we designed an arrangement for the menu sign — more warm pink, red and orange tones. The touches of blue in the linens and flowers were brought out with velvet chairs in a deep blue color, and the place settings tied in green and yellow.

High-top cocktail tables were the final opportunity to bring in color, and were covered with hot pink and bright blue linens. We gave these a floral touch with some simple bud vases. This turned out as such a fun and unique precursor to the couple’s church ceremony and reception at The Arts District Mansion — the perfect opportunity to create another special experience for their wedding party!
