Unusual Wedding Favors

 
 
One of the weddings that occured here this past weekend used these darling favor holders at their wedding. We thought you might be interested in seeing them.

Wedding in the Library has a Special Ring-Bearer

 
Here you see Nina Vickers, playing her harp for the Johnson-DeYoung wedding which took place in our Library this evening.
 
 
 
The special ring-bearer, Zack, got to come in just in time to deliver the ring. Here you see him, with our wedding coordinator, Beth Singer, waiting for his 'cue'.

Another slice of our enjoyable life here at the Hawthorne Hotel. We hope you enjoy this peek.

Some lovely wedding details

We loved some of the details that the Whelan-Merchant wedding chose to use this weekend.

The combination of the pin dots on dark, rich chocolate icing, and the lovely, large fondant bow and ribbon, go so nicely with the bows on the chair covers and the satin stripes on the tablecloths.

We adore the tall brass centerpiece holders, which add height and elegance in our two-story ballroom, as well as a much friendlier view across the table at one's dining companions.


Most fun of all was this couple's use of their two adorable labs' photos as their table numbers. You can certainly tell the personal touch is in evidence here.

I hope you enjoy seeing these little slices of wedding life at the Hawthorne Hotel.
