Ashton Events is featured on Ruffled today, and I couldn’t be more excited to share these images from By the Robinsons with you! Lynne & Alex are a spunky couple who live in St. Petersburg. They met in Hawaii and have a serious knack for throwing a great party.  As a graphic designer, Alex mastered all of the print materials, and Lynne contributed the hand painted flower details! I loved being able to work with both of them to create really unique, unexpected, but intentional details.

When we talked about the wedding design, Lynne & Alex really wanted to mix the botanical environment with modern lines and quirky details. I loved every part of the design- from the vintage gas price table numbers, to the fun clips that each guest received as they arrived.

From start to finish, the custom decor was a blast to create! Perhaps one of my favorite moments was seeing the success of the glow-in-the-dark croquet game, especially against the black & white stripe bean bags. So fun!
