Western Flair at Wedding Venues in Utah

September 1, 2012 AW_Admin Leave a comment

I am excited to share with you about this wonder wedding celebration that had a Western theme. Wedding venues in Utah that can lend itself to a variety of themes, like Atrium Weddings at Western Gardens Sandy, are perfect for those brides and grooms that want to let their personalities radiate to their guests. This couple chose such a wedding reception in Utah and put on a wonderful event. There were several unique features that really are worth writing about.

Jezria and Robbie had been married a week or so before their celebration. This worked perfect for them because they were at such ease and relaxed as they spent quality time with friends and family. A western theme permeated Atrium weddings with such clever style. First of all, Jezria chose the unique table topper linens of brown burlap. How unique and perfect for the celebration. Atrium’s standard glass candle holder was tied with a simple orange ribbon and rested on top of the burlap. Simple, classy, and comfortable! Simple blue sashes were tied with a simple knot on every other chair around each table. The groom wore a western blue shirt and the bride wore a casual white sundress with blue stoned cowboy boots. What an adorable couple.

Cowboy boots and shirts were common as their guests were served up their choice of ice cream catered by ColdStone from Draper. A variety of toppings were offered including M&M’s and nuts. Guests could also choose a cookie from Atrium’s dessert server and enjoy drinking refreshing orange water. The western theme filled the reception center with popular country songs playing on the great Atrium sound system. A few simple flower bouquets in wood branch vases dotted the hall. I loved the carved heart on some of the vases.

This couple was not planning on a wedding cake, but the groom’s sister surprised them with one of her new creations. She is beginning her own cake baking company. She has a very nice talent in her creations and we want to share her information here. Bindy Dumas of Cutting Edge Cakes, bindy@CuttingEdgeCakesUtah.com. One of the three layers of the cake was the flavor of Maple Bacon. It was a hit! Check out her new venture!

The main UNIQUE FEATURES of this party at this wedding reception Utah experienced were:

1 – The burlap table toppers. – very striking and clever.

2 – The clever wood branch flower vases with carved heart.

3 – overall Western Theme.

Enjoy the photos of this couple’s professional photographer Tom of GarzandPhotography.com. He was very creative in his photos out at the Atrium waterfall plaza. His work is beautiful and worth checking into.

This was a very memorable, stress-free, and wonderful celebration honoring this beautiful couple. Their country flair will forever be burned into the memories of this Utah wedding venue.

Mother of Another Steps in to Save the Day at Reception Centers in Utah

Reception centers in Utah include the beautiful Atrium Weddings at Western Gardens in Sandy. It was the backdrop for a gorgeous ceremony and wedding dinner for this beautiful couple. With Western Garden’s waterfall as the setting, they started their lives together. After the ceremony, the couple stayed for photos in the lovely setting. This is one of the most beautiful wedding places in Utah. Inside the beautiful garden setting of Atrium, guests enjoyed a delicious meal that had been self-catered by the family and friends.

Everyone jumped in to help in the sandwich making line. Atrium provides plenty of area for the family to set up and create what they choose, if a preferred caterer is not hired. Others tossed a salad and set out previously prepared cupcakes and freshly cut fruit.

Everyone was very helpful, especially because the woman who was in charge of the food, was last week confined to her bed with her pregnancy. Her dear mother, another friend of the bride, flew down from Washington and stepped in to complete her daughter’s wishes. The bride and groom didn’t see all the workings behind the scenes, and everything came off beautifully, …and deliciously.

Utah wedding venues are fortunate to have a beautiful reception center such as Atrium Weddings that can adapt to whatever the bridal party needs.

For Salt Lake wedding receptions, most typically, brides have their reception colors chosen long before there is a ring on her finger! You have probably dreamed of your most special day in certain colors since you were in elementary school. Your colors are you!

Color is very important to your event. The colors you use in your wedding reception tells more about you than you may realize. Color reflects your mood and personality and sets a tone for all the guests at your celebration. For example, reds and yellows and oranges set an exciting and fun ambiance, while greens and blues create a feeling of harmony and peace. Metallic colors portray elegance and sophistication. With your color scheme, you will be directing the aura and the flow of your ceremony and celebrations.

Sometimes the season of the year can enhance your wedding reception. Say you want red in your color scheme, but it’s a spring wedding. Add yellow and green to your red with maybe a touch of orange and it fits into the feel of new spring growth. But then again, simple red and white with the greens of spring can be an elegant spring mixture. Whereas, if you have a winter wedding reception, red with black and white is a popular stunning combination.

Salt Lake City wedding venues are varied in styles and the venue you choose should be considered when finalizing your colors. If you are holding your event in a garden setting, like Atrium Weddings in Salt Lake City, the variety of plants already offer a sea of greens that can be accented with your spring yellows and pinks. A garden center also lends itself to winter celebrations, again because the green decor is already present. Accent with your reds with black and white, and you have a memorable beautiful celebration at a magical time of year.

Whether you are getting married spring, fall, summer, or winter, you can use your favorite colors to create that perfect mindset for your guests, reflecting the joy you are feeling that day at your Salt Lake City wedding.
