Hey y’all and welcome back to the blog! This week we are taking a look back at another wonderful event from October of 2021. The Stefanek & Reehl wedding was a stunning event full of special details. Hosted on the bluff of Bayside Academy on a sunny October Saturday, the atmosphere truly couldn't have been more beautiful. The blue and white color scheme felt natural and classic on the bluff and was brought to life by an amazing team of vendors. Blair Gewin of Blair Events planned and coordinated this event wonderfully from start to finish.
The base of the reception design started with a 44’ x 103’ Sailcloth tent which set the scene for a coastal elegant affair. Its high peaks and flags blew in the light bayside breeze and gave off a beautiful glow as the event continued into the night. The tent featured pole drapes and perimeter draping behind the stage to make a statement. We love the look of the pole drapes when they catch the slight breeze and the glow of a sunset.
A custom wrapped 16’ x 24’ dance floor provided by Decal Doodle featured a blue and white Greek key pattern that brought the color scheme to life and made a beautiful statement. It also complimented the white stage façade and white wood bars under the tent as well as the specialty linens on the tables. The white wood bars flanking either side of the stage gave a great symmetry to the tent while also being easy for the guests to access.
A mix of round and rectangular seating was used to create a flow throughout the tent and the bluff. Bistros tables with white chiavari barstools each were alternatively placed around the perimeter of the tent, with additional standing bistros under the tent. The round and rectangle banquet tables and white chiavari chairs were placed under the tent. This created a natural indoor/outdoor living feel of many of the homes along Mobile Bay. It also allowed for guests to naturally move through the event and enjoy all of the elements of this beautiful wedding.
The linens at this wedding were another statement factor bringing the overall design together. The bistro tables and rectangular tables were draped in the specialty linen Washington Sky, a blue and white patterned linen that coordinated beautifully with the blue skies that weekend. The round banquet tables featured another specialty linen, Rain Faille with a White Hemstitch Overlay. The linens on all of the tables complemented each other and the venue perfectly. The combination of the linens, dance floor wrap, drapes and white wood bars combined to build the bones of the design. Beautiful florals by Revelry Bloom and stunning chandeliers and lighting provided by Willow Bridge completed the total vision.
