May 16, 2012 Wendy Pettit Leave a comment

This lovely bride and groom celebrated their new wedding vows to each other at a Salt Lake City wedding reception center in downtown with a simple dinner for close family and friends. Ivy House Weddings at Western Gardens Downtown featured the elegance of Jessica with her simple yellow and white colors with a hint of silver.

The bride’s family chose to cater the food themselves, which is allowed by Ivy House. This freedom isn’t all that common for most wedding receptions in Salt Lake City. Guests enjoyed an array of fruits, salads, grilled chicken, rice, and homemade bread. There was plenty for all.

Granite Bakery created the bride’s cake and delivered it to this Salt Lake wedding venue. The quilted base tier adorned with pearls and the simple top tier adorned with a beautiful flowing yellow ribbon and wrapped with a silver satin ribbon, echoed the bride’s theme of elegance. The flower girls were dressed in precious white dresses with a light and airy halo of silk flowers, ribbon, and accessories for an angelic look.

Jessica and Matt performed the traditional cake cutting and then had their first dance as husband and wife of the beautiful wood dance floor. Weddings in Salt Lake City are indeed memorable, romantic, and beautiful at Ivy House Weddings.

The photographer for this event was Envy Foto by Swensen Photography in Draper, Utah. Seeing this beautiful wedding will indeed make others envy the beauty of this elegant and joyful celebration.

Salt Lake City wedding ceremonies are beautiful at Ivy House Weddings at Western Gardens Center downtown. This wedding ceremony and dinner were planned from 1000 miles away. Ivy House wedding venue includes so many options that this bride and her mother could easily plan the event, then fly in from back east a few days before the wedding and finalize all the last details with our preferred partners.

Ivy House creates a majestic yet warm ambiance without being in a cathedral. From the balcony, the photographer took beautiful photos looking down on the memorable scene below. This bride chose to have her ceremony promenading down a center isle toward the majestic fireplace. Ivy House wooden screens were places between the ceremony area and the dinner area. She also used a white carpet runner to emphasize her walk to her soon-to-be spouse. After few words from the officiator and exchange of wedding bands, the couple kissed as husband and wife. The twinkle in Maren’s eyes were witnessed by all as guests congratulated the newlyweds. The bride chose a 3-tiered blue cake with classic and lacy white frosting and pearls created by Ivy House preferred baker Carrie’s Cakes. A special wedding couple figurine adorned the cake. Another preferred partner created her wedding bouquet and flowers for the event. Hillside Floral is very friendly, professional, and reasonably priced.

Dinner followed with dear friends and family. Again, the mother of the bride had confidence in Ivy House preferred caterer Utah Celebrations. The food was artistically presented, tasted divine, and was served by their friendly workers.

RLT Photography was the Ivy House preferred partner that the wedding party chose to snap those lasting memories. RLT photos are indicated.

Giving a ranking of 5 out of 5, the bride’s mother, was so pleased that she wrote these comments about her experience with Ivy House:

Everyone here at Ivy House was so friendly and helpful. There is no way we could have planned a wedding from 1000 miles away if it had not been for Ivy House Event coordinator and her crew of preferred vendors. It was a beautiful day. Thank you so much! – SallyAnn

Ivy House is one of the only wedding reception centers in Salt Lake City that lets you make the choices in all your planning; but then again, if you choose, try our preferred partners. They are wonderful, especially if you are planning your event from out of state!

This occasion at one of Salt Lake City wedding venues called Ivy House Weddings at Western Gardens downtown is just one more stunning example of how adaptable Ivy House is for any bride’s choice of style. This beautiful bride chose to have a style of simple elegance. The bride and wedding planner accomplished this elegance with light pink wedding color and Ivy House simple yet modern tableware for their sit-down dinner honoring the new formed family.

The dinner included close family and friends and then a reception for extended well-wishers. Several children were in attendance and they found the occasion well adjusted for them which made it pleasant for the adults as well. With catering by a family friend, there was plenty of refreshing spring salad, rolls, and tarts. After the meal, Ivy House hosts and family cleared and reset the tables for the reception that followed.

The bride’s choice was a two-tiered ivory wedding cake embellished with one simple large pink fondant ribbon, pearls, and the initials of the newlyweds. A photo of the wedding couple complimented the masterpiece along with three votive candles and the ribbon donned cake knife and server. Again, a close family friend created this beautiful work of art at this wedding reception center in Salt Lake.

The reception was attended by hundreds of family and friends coming to congratulate the happy couple. Guests entered through the grand doors to sign in at a simple vintage sign-in table. While waiting in line they had a view of the wedding cake alcove and a slide show of the bride and groom on a large flat-screen TV. After greeting the bride and groom, guests were treated to slices of cake and a delicious candy bar telling the guests “Thank You!”
