After 17 years together, Jane & Helen were happy -- they could finally get legally married. We took the "Happy" vibe from Pharrell Williams -- hat and all -- and ran with it.
We were happy that photographer Vincent Aguas captured our sign.
Let's break down the party.
Tiffany blue was anchored with black for our signature color at the reception. We tied white napkins into bows and adorned them with black and white EQUALITY BUTTONS that we had printed up. Guests wore the buttons in support of gay marriage.
A colorful sign greeted guests at the door with a to-do list of activities.
Mini bottles of pink champagne (with a carrying strap), and straw, made for a fun welcome.
You know we have a passion for doors. We used Ikea rods on an upcycled door to showcase the wish cards. The cards were black and white luggage tags that we stamped with the word "happy" to carry on our theme.
Signature cocktails were a must.
Glasses and jars were spray painted our special blue and used for floral centerpieces. Tip: While Krylon is our fav spray paint, we found out the hard way that the newer version with build-in primer does not stick to glass as well as it should.
Guests went wild making flipbooks with our colorful signs and balloon backdrop.
Jane and Helen and their son Grady wanted a fun, non-traditional first dance at their reception. We tapped a University of San Diego dancer to choreograph a line dance, sent it out to family and friends to learn before the reception and created a flash-mob feel at the event. And the dancing never stopped...
Remember, there's always a reason to celebrate. Amy
