My Planning Bio

At Home Reception

Since not everyone can come to Vegas, we're having an at home reception. Luckily, our friends/extended family totally understand that Vegas is an intimate wedding and we can't invite everyone, so we're having a formal, backyard BBQ style wedding & reception at my parents' house 2 weeks after the wedding.

We're going to wear our wedding attire and exchange vows, have speeches, our first dance, etc. This way everyone gets to experience everything that was part of our day.


The Cake

Picture
This will be our at home reception cake. The flavors will be -
Top tier - Chocolate cake & ganache filling
Middle tier - Vanilla buttercake with toasted coconut buttercream
Bottom tier - Golden buttercake with strawberry and Mexican vanilla buttercream

Tables

Picture
We're going to have damask table runners with white linens on each of the tables, along with white chairs

Centerpiece

Picture
The centerpieces are going to be these retro milkshake glasses filled with yellow carnations and white roses, tied with a thick yellow ribbon.

Flowers

Picture
....Picture something like this in the centerpieces but yellow carnations instead of daisies.

Overall Look

Picture
Ideally, it'll be something like this, only different centerpieces and round tables instead of the long banquet tables.

Food & Drink

Picture
It'll be a BYOB, but we're providing all the food - hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken burgers, salads, fruits, veggies, etc.
