The Oxidized Bird...

Ok SOOoooo I came across these pictures of the Rusty Pelican on good old Facebook and I wanted to share them with all you. It gives you a better sense of the Rusty and how the day (lighting wise) will look. Enjoy!


Walkway up to the entrance....

Vestibule before you enter into the lobby....

Cocktail hour room... Ok it will be daytime but there were no pics with sunlight....

Grand Ballroom....

Grand ballroom at night... I had thought about getting lighting but decided to use what they have there, minus the fabric draping from chandelier to chandelier.....

Some outside shot areas....

The structure under the building... We totally need to sneak in there=)

Have a seat please....

Sooo I have not written on this blogg in a about a month, but just wanted to update/remind you (and myself) of the directions I am heading in.

I don't know if it is because there are only 4 months to go, but my brain is doubting some of my decisions so I decide to write and explain my thoughts in hopes of finding some clarity. Most of the weddings I see online and on TV have light colored linens, and light colored flowers, it has me doubting my bold peacock blue linens. Am I tacky?? Am I getting carried away? Will it have that wow effect I sooo want? Ugh with so much on my mind and with so much left to do I can't go back on the decisions I have already made....

Here is a recap selections I made for the linens. & like I said before hopefully writing this to you guys will help me be more confident / sure of my decisions....

The darker blue will be on all guest tables as well as place card table. The Lighter color will be on the cake table the sweet heart table as well as the gift table. Originally I had chair covers and sashes budgeted but now I have “upgraded” to Gold Chiavari Chairs with black seat covers. I think this will completely open up the room and show off the blue peacock colored linens.
I have also added gold chargers and the napkins will be black. I think that I am still sticking to my Idea of traditional with a small twist, and just hope that in the end my mental vision translate just as nicely into the reality.

Only time will tell! ;) and by the looks of my last image I like what I see.

Here are some images of what I am thinking of.
