The Knot Austin Event

 
The Knot and Events by Decisions hosted a beautiful wedding vendor event at the Vista on Steward Hill Tuesday night.  I went and oogled over all of the desserts on this amazing dessert bar by Stardust pastry.  The three tiered rice crispie cake was a fun focal point for the whimsical bar studded with novels and trays of wine corks and fancy tea cups. 

 
I love this idea of using paper from novels to make flowers and cover the base of the cake.

 
This table had a very "Anthropologie" feel with the use of books and the wine cork displays.

Even  Summer Pruett of Stardust Pastry carried a wine cork tray with little shot glasses of white russian with a chocolate chip cookie sitting on top! Save up those wine corks for some whimsical ways of showing off your food for your next party at home!

 
 
I love the way they wrapped these peaches and added string.  They were sitting in a wood tray from Target(I only know that b/c I have that tray!!!!)

Here is another fun use of rice crispies with a little peach on top.

 
Here are little take away treats tied with red and white baker's twine.

 
Cookie pops with cute little hearts.

All of the beautiful china is from sistersvintageparty.com

 
These cute little silver mushrooms are available at Anthropologie. 

 
Every hour they served a fun cocktail.  This one was my favorite:

Cantaloupe & Basil or a Watermelon-Mojito Drinksicle.  This was a genius move considering it was 100 degrees at 7:00 here in Austin!!!! I almost grabbed three off of the waiter's tray as it flew by me. 

Everyone in this industry just amazes me with their creativity. Event designers are having fun adding furniture to venues for casual little spaces.  Bringing indoor furniture outside is so fun and creates an intimate area for conversation.

 
Provencal Home supplied most of the furnishings at this event. 

This was my favorite part of the party(except for the dessert table of course)..

look at this amazing table with chandeliers hanging from the tree above.

 
 
Can you picture having your wedding party sitting at this beautiful table under these chandelier lit up at night with a swanky band playing?  The swanky band playing here was: Courtney Sanchez and the SWAY.

 
Here is the stage where the band played lit up at night.  You can't see it here but there is a beautiful fountain in the middle of the stage.

 
The dessert bar had it's own little area that had little mason jars floating above with candles.  There was no detail missed at this event.

 
My wonderful friends: Shannon Gatlin(Stella & Dot Jewelry)

and

 Shannon Bourland(owner of Events by Decisions...amazingly creative woman who designed  this event!)
