Special Occasions Events {Peacocks in Blue Wedding} Grand Blanc, MI

Today we are excited to share with you one of our bride & groom submitted weddings! This wedding, hosted at the Genesys Banquet & Conference Center in Grand Blanc, MI was an event to be noticed. From the clothing to the linens to the accent pieces, this wedding had it all!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful images with us!

Both the ceremony and the reception areas were designed in a peacock inspired theme with rich and vibrant hues of gold, teal, green and purple. The chairs at the ceremony were covered in white chair covers tied off in a green sash. For the reception the bride and groom chose to go with a teal crush floor length table linen accented with white napkins, which were draped down over their gold plate chargers. It was stunning!

Check out this brides bouquet! We love the incorporation of the different brooches. So creative. 

Such a beautiful wedding and a lovely couple! We wish you many years of happiness. 

A HUGE Thank you to Kaye's Photography for sharing these amazing images with us!

The Cleary University Table Top Competition

This last weekend Special Occasions was honored to be invited to compete in a tabletop competition at Cleary University. The Designer Tabletops event was held at the Johnson Center and also featured a benefit auction to help raise money for student scholarships. 

Special Occasions decided to theme our table after the saying "Putting on the Glitz" since this was sure to be a night filled with fun and glamour. 

Putting on the Glitz

Our table featured a blush sequins tablecloth, black chiavari chairs with a blush sash and black satin napkins. We even brought along our showroom mascot draped in a matching linen to form a fashionable dress that frankly, we wanted to wear ourselves. 

Overall it was a fun night for a great cause and we were honored to take part in it. 

Here are a few of the other great table designs featured in the competition. All of them wonderful and creative.

A Blushing Bride : Style Photo Shoot

Our Sponsorship at the GCS Fundraiser Event

This last weekend Special Occasions was honored to sponsor the linens for the 2014 Genesee Christian School fundraiser auction. The auction was designed after an Arabian Nights theme and the proceeds were collected to help support the schools purchase of new technology and computers for the student computer lab. 

The event came together beautifully. The room was bright and jewel toned and the draping that covered the ceiling and walls transported you to a warm Arabian night as you entered the room. The gentle shimmer of the table linens allowed the pink toned uplighting to dance around the room and the centerpieces and design set the ambiance of a fun filled evening. 

We would like to thank GCS for allowing us to be a part of their cause.
