Julie & Jamie: Harper Fowlkes House Reception

After the ceremony, Julie & Jamie's guests headed to the Harper Fowlkes House. Guests enjoyed tours of the home during the cocktail hour and then made their way to the garden for the reception. There were many special details that made this day perfect....
1920's style lights strung over the garden, chandeliers in the trees, florals and wispy table cloths tucked in between the greenery and around the fountain created a romantic atmosphere.

A desert table placed under the larger chandelier featured this beautiful wedding cake, lemon tartlets, cannolis, chocolate covered strawberries, and wine glass truffles deliciously made by Art Cake Co.

The kids had a special kid sized table and chairs (so cute!) along with their own centerpiece and activities i.e. flower pots to decorate.
 Place cards were rose tucked napkins with pearl accented names.

Since it was still cool at night (it was the beginning of April), we had baskets of soft blankets around the garden for people to "snuggle" with. But it wasn't long after dinner that DJ Jeff warmed everyone up on the dance floor.
Jamie honored his late grandfather by dancing to a recording of his grandfather playing the saxophone. 
 
MC Tyson & Thriller-two crowd favorites!
I could go on and on about the details from the fabulous decor by Harvey Designs, to the cigars, the sign in station, the food......I was happy to see everything come together the way Julie & Jamie imagined. I will miss working with this sweet couple.
Thank you to the many vendors who helped to make this a successful First City Event:
