The Prop man

The Monogram of Sarah and Daren benson The cake .......note red drapes behind
First dance-------- Red Drapes, bar beyond etc

AHHH "The Prop Man"------ my first introduction to the prop man was several months ago. I had no idea what he did, just knew Sarah thought he was a needed addition to the planning..
As I walked into the reception ball room just prior to the ceremony, I realized "This is what the Prop Man does!! And He deserves to be in capitals.
While planning, we walked into a large ball room much like any other room used for large gatherings.
Saturday, when I walked, in I realized THIS was Sarah's big red party.
There was a square bar close to the entrance of the room all drapped in shiney red material. On either side of the bar was a lounge area, white couches, end tables that lit from within highlighting the red flowers on top. and the large candles brought up form the ceremony ( I guess I am going backwards in describing the events)
There where red drapes from ceiling to floor tied back with white flowers, just enough to reveal the dinning area beyond ( will add images in next blog, don't know how to add now)

The wedding cake was on the stage as we had no room left on the main floor. Again behind the cake the mysterious Prop Man, had drapped with red.
The lighting in the room was a red wash (?!?) which made us all look really great. And projected on the dance floor was their new monogram prepared for them by our wonderful graphic artist friend , Katie Boden.
Cheers to Mr. Prop Man, who was there long before us and long into the night after our celebration.
You made Sarah's Big Red Party happen.

PS :note the vase on the top of the cake. It was on my Grandmother and Gandfather Detlor's cake around 1890, on my wedding cake in 1971 and now on Sarah's.
