The Cosmopolitan Events Team was thrilled be a part of the celebration of Breanne Wilhelm and Patrick Arminio. The fun-loving couple was married on October 10th with the fantastic Photographer Bobbi Brinkman capturing every special moment.
……………………………………………………..
Upon arrival to their hotels, guests were welcomed to St. Louis with re-usable gift bags, designed and assembled by Cosmopolitan Events, and filled with various local goodies. This fantastic fuschia and black Welcome Party invitation was designed by St. Louis custom stationers, Two Blue Doors, which set the stage for a fun evening of cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in anticipation for the big day
The ceremony was held at St. Xavier College Church on the Saint Louis University Campus, the location where Bree & Patrick met while attending Saint Louis University. Their elegant decor was cheerful and modern with a palette of fuschia, lime, and orange. The bridesmaids wore raspberry cocktail dresses and held very colorful, bright bouquets. Breanne looked absolutely stunning holding her white and creme bouquet. After saying their “I-Do’s,” Breanne and Patrick had a memorable and grand exit from the church, beginning with the release of white doves, provided by Amore Doves. Guests waved brightly colored ribbon wands as the bride and groom climbed onto a fairy-tale carriage, provided by Saint Louis Carriage Company, and were then transported to the reception at the Four Seasons Hotel located in Downtown St. Louis.
Cosmopolitan Event’s Wedding Planner, Chasley Bradbury, worked very closely with Mrs. Debbie Wilhelm to make the event beyond special for her daughter and future son-in-law, adding one surprise after another. The first of many was an ice bar replicating the St. Louis Skyline. This contemporary ice bar was complete with the couples new monogram, a drink luge, and colorful fireworks carved inside. The artful bar was created by Ice Visions.
Botaicals Design Studio’s attention to detail throughout the event was nothing less than perfect! Escort Cards were beautifully arranged on a glass plateau suspended above a lush bed of florals. The exquisite centerpieces for each guest table were designed to create a unique silhouette, ranging from towering heights to low and sophisticated. The Head Table was placed on risers and hanging florals and candle light created the perfect backdrop for the honored guests. Guests dined at tables covered in rich orange specialty linens accented with fuschia napkins, gold chargers and chiavari chairs.
The 4-tier cake, created by the Four Seasons, was draped with florals and was accompanied on the dance floor by the Bree and Patrick’s new monogram. Following dinner, the sounds of Lenny Klinger’s Galaxy Band put guests in the mood to hit the dance floor.
Amazing Stationers Two Blue Doors designed much of the papery that tied into the celebration including the invitations, programs, escort cards, place cards, menus, and the couple’s adorable photo booth guest book. Guests received custom bookmarks as a memento of the evening that included their black and white photo strip. A copy of each photo strip was put into the guest book with wishes for the newlyweds.
Perhaps the “sweetest” part of the evening was the tempting Candy Bar, designed by Cosmopolitan Events. The Candy Bar was displayed on a floral glass plateau with a mix of brightly colored candies and custom created crossword puzzles for guests to test their knowledge of the Newlyweds. The puzzles gave clues to Breanne and Patrick’s love story, and were accompanied by pencils saying “Isn’t Love Puzzling?”
The entire day was perfect and the Cosmo Team couldn’t have been more excited to take part in such a special day. Congratulations Breanne and Patrick! We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness!
