Labor Day Nautical Theme
Labor Day decor doesn’t have to just be patriotic red, white, and blue. You can keep the same meaningful colors while incorporating a totally different theme. A nautical Maine lobster theme utilizes red, white, and blue without the stars and stripes. Lollipop Events and Design showcased a fun Nantucket Nautical themed wedding that is also ideal for a Labor Day lobster feast.
Table: Use a simple white linen and a patriotic red overlay. The plates can be basic white with ivory or clear glass stemware. Place your flatware in a cute corn cob holder with a small red ribbon tied around the neck to hold the pieces together.
For the napkins, find something in the same color palette but with a different pattern to add extra contrast. Use the same ribbon that you will use for the centerpiece vases to tie around the middle of the folded napkin. Top the napkin off with a silver spray painted sea fan (which you can purchase on deltonaseashells.com).
Centerpiece: Take two simple cylinder vases that are about the same size. Turn one upside down and place a few drops of hot glue on the base. Securely place the second vase on top of the glue spots for a tall and dramatic centerpiece. Next, select a patterned wrapping paper or scrapbook paper to wrap around the area where the two vases come together and fasten with glue. Accentuate the edges of the paper with ribbon of your choice. Lastly, take willow branches that you have spray painted red and arrange them in the top vase.
To balance out the height of the centerpiece, select 4 smaller cylindrical or rectangle shaped vases to place on either side of the centerpiece. Wrap the same ribbon around the center as you did with the taller piece and insert a few stems of an inexpensive red flower, such as red carnations or peonies.
Décor: While the Lollipop ladies used paper bags at the head of each table setting as a creative lobster-shaped menu, for a more casual affair, you can skip the menu and just use a lobster stamp in red paint to create fun goody bags. Consider filling the bags with themed candies such as lobster gummies (from candywarehouse.com) and lobster pops (from melvillestore.com).
Add personal touches to create an intimate party with your friends and celebrate Labor Day in style!

Winter Tent Pictures
Marquee visited The Allan House to assemble the clear top tent we will be utilizing in the courtyard for the winter months of December, January, and February. Eric Hegwer was nice enough to come out and take some pictures of this exciting new feature. 
The clear top tent encloses a beautifully lit tree which brings the outside in without letting in the cold air.
For the chilly days in the winter, the tent will be heated to keep all of your guests comfortable.
The tent encloses 2,160 square feet of the courtyard allowing for ceremonies up to 175 guests and reception seating up to 150.
This clear top tent is perfect for a winter event because it provides the ambiance of the outdoors without the winter chill. Call The Allan House to schedule a tour today! 512-478-8653
