Decorating the Reception Hall

The reception was held at the Elk's Club in Wolcott. We really wanted to do some decorating of the Elk but he was off limits.

Lots of baloons to blow up and paper lanterns to assemble on the head table.

Tableclothes were laid and the decorations begin to come together.

The baloons and colored paper balls go up over the dance floor.

And the buffet area gets a spot of color from some metallic swags.

Preparations for the Wedding Saturday

The flowers and favors are beginning to pile up at my daughter Barbara's house in preparation for my granddaughter Christine's wedding on Saturday.

More work still remains at the workstation on the dining room table.

I still need to get busy and make her veil.

Dominic arrives to give us a needed PlayDoh break.
