Bridal Bash

The Allan House's most recent open house was a blast! Thanks to all those who came out and enjoyed drinks, appetizers, mingling with our preferred vendors, and rockin' out with LC Rocks!

Illios Lighting provided the pink and purple uplighting on the outside columns, as well as the stars inside The Allan House.

The colorful linens chosen were purple dupioni and fuschia, as well as pewter satin and sparkle toppers, all of which were provided by Marquee Rents.

 Verbena Floral Designs provided the lush florals for the event.

 Cantina Laredo was on site with delicious appetizers.

The Cupcake Bar treated each guest to their own personal cupcake!

To tie the theme and decorations all together was LC Rocks. They entertained fans showcasing both their dinner music and their classic 80's rock and roll we all know them by. Guests had a blast dancing and singing along with the band!

Other vendors in attendance were A+ Student Staffing, Inviting Affairs, BoothBooth, and Simon Lee Bakery.
