We decided to get married in a cave, bat and all - just kidding!! Well, there was a cast iron bat hanging from the entrance of this spectacularly decorated wine cave in Northern California. We invited our closest friends and family and we were absolutely delighted to have the most wonderful designer/florist/renaissance man - John James of San Francisco's John James Designs - transform the cave with his design for our romantic Banquet Celebration - resplendent with the colors of Burgundy, Platinum and overflowing with Sterling Silver Roses.We married in November, so he filled the space with gorgeous roses and fall foliage . The table was covered in a platinum satin tablecloth and platinum silk napkins, crystal dishes and sterling silver flatware. The ambiance is captured here. A wedding celebration and banquet by candlelight.It truly was a spectacular wedding that we were so grateful to share with all of our loved ones. We put together our own gifts for each guest, a Moroccan Tea Glass filled with rock sugar stirrers, exotic Moroccan Mint Tea, a tiny Silver Tea Spoon, Chocolates, Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans, and assorted Tea Candies. We wrapped the glasses with platinum silk ribbon and red cellophane and put them at each place setting.We made gifts for all of our guests, Moroccan tea glasses filled with Moroccan Mint Tea, chocolates and tea candies.I've also included pictures of our DIY Twinkie Wedding Cake!
