Spring Woodland Wedding Venues in Utah 04-08-2014

September 16, 2014 AW_Admin Leave a comment

Mary and Aaron enjoyed their celebrations at one of Western Garden’s premier wedding venues in Utah. They elected to not use one of our reception center’s preferred caterers, but chose the delightful Cosmopolitan Catering. They served a wide variety of pasta salads, breads, fruits and pastries. Mary took advantage of the opportunity to hire a friend to do her floral arrangements. Shelly Buckley did a masterful job of arranging pale pink roses mixed with various white mums, daisies, and other seasonal white flowers. She also worked in vines to add to the spring feel of an April wedding.

This bride designed a unique wedding cake of many tiers of earthy bundt cakes topped with white frosting piping creating a feel of spring trees and nests. This was a distinct beautiful touch to the garden ambiance our wedding reception venue already creates. The guests enjoyed the traditional entertainment of watching the newlyweds cut the wedding cake and later toss the bridal bouquet. Of course, the groom had to retrieve the bride’s garter and flip it to the waiting bachelors in the room. Soon there after the bride and groom shared their last dances with their father and mother and then romantically had their first dance together as man and wife. What a beautiful couple!

At a relatively early hour, the guests sent them off with sparklers, not always provided by outdoor wedding venues in Utah, after a very long day of happy celebrations!

Utah wedding venues are many, but few allow the bride to experience that outdoor garden weddings in the middle of winter. Several issues can hinder an outdoor garden wedding like weather, out-of-season plant material, and safety concerns for family and guests. Utah only has about 4.5 months of the year that are freeze free, therefore brides looking for Utah wedding locations should seek Utah wedding reception centers that provide an “atrium” for that garden feel. Hence, Atrium Weddings is such a venue.

Western Garden’s wedding venues in Utah both celebrated wedding ceremonies and receptions on a beautiful day in August. Atrium Weddings’ outdoor waterfall plaza was the setting for the ceremony of Steve and Cari and their wedding party.

This dashing couple enjoyed the warmth of the sun and the trickle of the waterfall as they exchanged vows and rings at this Utah wedding venue. After congratulating the newlyweds in an informal line on the plaza, everyone came inside and enjoyed dinner which was self-catered by the family. Costco sandwiches, fruit, veggies, cheese, crackers and sheet cake were all on the simple and delicious menu. Atrium allows self-catering, especially during these trying economic times.

The wedding cake was created by a friend of the bride and the floral bouquets and boutonnieres were fashioned by this Utah wedding venue’s preferred florist Hillside Floral. A dear friend John was the couple’s photographer.

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.

February 24, 2012 – An Early Spring Utah Wedding Reception in the Eve of Winter

April 9, 2012 AW_Admin Leave a comment

This bride looked at many wedding venues in Utah before choosing the Atrium wedding reception center for her late winter reception. Walls of lush green plants frame a majestic hall where guests gather to sign the guest book, greet the wedding party, and linger to enjoy delicious refreshments. The guests entered through grand doors and were directed to the guest book table complete with photos of the couple. The entrance included the archway displaying the couples first names on a ribbon. The line to greet the newlyweds was enjoyable because of a big screen TV slide showing bridal shots, and engagement photos. The couple greets their guests in front of a beautiful and cozy fireplace and hearth, and after hugs, kisses, and words of congratulations, the guests flow to the refreshment buffet tables.

This bride chose to serve her guests a delicious fresh salad, warm rolls, and other delicacies accented with sparkling punch. The couple also chose to have a hot cocoa bar to take off the winter chill from outside, and a candy table dedicated to the brides wedding color, purple.

While guests socialized and enjoyed their refreshments, they were entertained with beautiful music from a friend pianist at the grand piano and views of waterfalls and gorgeous plants around the room. The centerpieces on the tables were also a point of interest with pictures of the bride and groom backdropped with classy candles and purple ribbons. A very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere was enjoyed by all, especially the bride’s mother and father!

This elegant and beautiful Utah wedding was a great success. Around 600 guests came and celebrated this special day with the new couple in this beautiful venue. This is one of the largest receptions Atrium Weddings has hosted.
