Our Bride and Groom, Kimberly and Anthony Denning could not have chosen a better
day to express their love; Their October wedding day was a perfect Autumn  day with just
the lots of sun and bursts of blue skies. ……At last!

They both had a distinct vision of what they
wanted and we provided it!    Anthony and Kimberly chose a ”Fall Sunset” theme with beautiful jewel tones of magenta, amber, coral and plums.

The former military couple met at their sons ballgames. Soon, Anthony became a “winner” with Kimberly.  Next,  they became engaged and the wedding planning began! After months of planning each detail, their big day finally arrived. What a wonderful group of people to work with! As family and friends gathered together to witness Kimberly and Anthony exchange their vows at University United Methodist Church we were fortunate enough to meet them all and enjoy their many talents.  Anthony’s brother, Josh Denning, tours the world as a vocalist and gave an amazing rendition of . Julliard trained keyboardist Dr. Virginia Jefferson  and her daughter, NYC entertainment attorney, Ms. Virginia Jefferson offered the ceremony music.

We will NEVER forget Kimberly coming down the aisle to “At Last”.  All eyes were on the bride as she walked through the thousands of rose petals, making her way to the altar.

After the ceremony, guests travelled to the Embassy Suites for the reception.  The  ballroom at the Embassy Suites North was filled with hundreds of different shaped colored vases in the Bride’s palette of  magenta, amber, plum, and gold.  Kimberly ventured all over Indy to collect the unique and colorful vases that  accented the tables. Each of the vases was unique in size and shape- allowing for her vision of a spectacular  sunset look.  We loved the accents of custom eggplant linens, gold chargers and colored votives glowing throughout the evening.

The dance floor was never empty and once Kimberly changed into her lighter, ’dance ready’ dress, she was in step doing the Electric Slide
with her minister.  Dr. Moore’s smooth moves  captured everyone on the dance floor, as they followed him step by step- Electric Sliding.

Kimberly, a former US Army Police Officer and her husband,Anthony a former US Air Force Dental Hygienist share a love for good food , and travel.  Their goal is to explore the globe together. They are looking forward to travelling all around the world in the upcoming years.

Kimberly and Anthony were married- ”At Last”

We just came upon this fabulous and creative way to incorporate your favors and decor into one.   Whether you are having a wedding reception or social party, this is a great way for guests to receive a personal wish and gift from you.

Martha Stewart did it again with this original and creative idea.  Candles in three shades of white are wrapped in corrugated paper and tied with waxed twine; written inside are messages from the bride and groom
and/or hosts.  A thank you, a memory, a holiday wish can all be a message on these simple and thoughtful gifts.  Read more at Marthastewartweddings.com: White Favors: Greeting Candles

Thank you, Martha!

Simple and Thoughtful Favors

We loved this recent blog from Preston Bailey.  The inspiration for this room and chairs comes from a dress Audrey Hepburn wore in Sabrina.  What a beautiful room and idea.  Did you know that we do have the means to assist you with made to order linens and accessories?   If you have something you would like to mirror for your special celebration, please enlist our decor team in helping you make it happen.  We are always here to serve you with the very best!

Let it snow!

Fall is one of our favorite seasons here at Kim King Smith Events. It brings bold splashes of color to life and makes a gorgeous landscape for a wedding ceremony or reception. Whether your wedding is indoors or outdoors, there are endless amounts of themes and colors you can use to make your wedding look like an enchanted affair. Take a look at these fall themes for an outdoor reception, a unique wedding cake and lively assortments for floral and centerpieces.

Don’t be afraid to try something new.  Use the elements of autumn to your advantage with produce, nuts and twigs along with the many color tones of the earth and sky.  Such a rich time to gather and inspire!

Marci and Ryan could you get any cuter! Marci came to Kim King Smith Events with an inspiration of a Cinderella themed wedding and what Marci wished for, she received!!!  Marci’s day was magical from the very beginning. She was so calm and relaxed, with the aura of a true princess!

Marci’s love for Ryan glowed on her gorgeous face; making her a truly radiant bride. She was so excited to walk down the aisle to Ryan and become man and wife.  

I have to admit, as soon as the church doors opened and the music began, it truly took my breath away. As Marci and Ryan said their “I Do’s”. Kim King Smith Event’s staff was at the Scottish Rite’s Grand Ballroom finalizing every perfect detail of their enchanting reception.

The ballroom was decorated in sapphires and silvers with hints of fuchsia in the dramatic floral designs. The centerpiece chandeliers delicately held candle light and crystals. The entire ballroom glowed. Oh, and I can’t forget to tell you about the Cinderella Glass Slipper at every guest place setting that housed a sweet treat for family and friends.

Marci and Ryan danced the night away and then escaped into the night to live happily ever after!

Thank you Marci and Ryan for allowing us to be a part of your magical day!

I just discovered this great website.  http://www.abridesride.com/2008/01/blog-post.html offers vintage cars all over the US in the color and style you want for your wedding!  How exciting and fun!!  Along with the ride you may also purchase these custom banners.  There are several selections of the banner ribbon and sayings.  What a way to pull off into the sunset!  The banners begin at $47 and the rides at $250.  Just another great idea to provide for our readers here at Kim King Smith Events.
