Pope John Paul II- Celebrating 10 Years!

This past Saturday, we hosted the Pope John Paul II School Fundraiser here at the club! This was their 10th anniversary, so we did it up with style!

This is part 3 of our "Winter Wonderland" series. Again, I didn't intend to do that!

Guests were greeted by this magnificent lighted display at the top of the stairs, wow!

The stairs in our lobby were decked out with lights, tulle, and sparkle!

Here's a close-up of what was tied to the banisters:

Let's take another look at that sign!

As we do for most of our fund raisers, silent and live auction items were available. Here's some of the high lights:

I love the lighting and decorations! This gave the auction items a little sparkle while keeping everything in the theme.

We also used the Glassroom for the majority of the auction items:

What's that in the back? An ice sculpture! To celebrate the 10th anniversary, JP II's ice sculpture showed off the occasion with style!

Wow! That's amazing! Here's a close-up:

Meanwhile, in the Ballroom, the room was set up for an elegant plated dinner.

Keeping with JP II's colors of blue and white, the Ballroom kept the Winter Wonderland theme with more snowflakes, lighting, ice, branches, ornaments, and white flowers. The centerpieces varied by table, which we love!

The faculty had their very own table:

The stage was set for the live auction and the band was ready to rock the night away when it was over!

As always, a fabulous time was had by all! The parents love giving back to JP II and the school greatly appreciates it! Happy 10th Anniversary, JP II!

Lawler/Peace Wedding Reception

December weddings have a way of getting out of control. Some brides take the "Winter Wonderland" theme and go too far. Want to see a December wedding done right? Check out these pictures from our most recent wedding reception in the Ballroom!

Guests were greeted by the place card table outside the Ballroom, which displayed the place cards written by the Bride herself!

 A different take on the card box: this little house was placed on the gift table.

The Ballroom was already decorated for Christmas, so the decor was designed to compliment the existing decorations.

The table numbers displayed pictures of the Bride and Groom at various ages, how cute!

The centerpieces alternated between roses and various candles and cranberries. Very nice!

We used our in-house linens for the tables. White cloths with burgundy napkins gave a festive feel without being too "Christmas-y". We covered the chairs and used silver chair ties to bring it all together.

Now that's a head table! Sparkling lanterns were hung from the hooks in the tray ceiling. They looked like giant ornaments!

The head table was simple and elegant. I just love the current trend of leaving vases on the tables for the bridesmaids' bouquets!

The dinner buffet was in the lobby. We used ornaments and greenery to match the decorations in the Ballroom.

Time for cake! The main wedding cake was AWESOME! Just love the ribbons, well done by our friends at Faboo Cakes!

The groom's cake was in the shape of a baseball diamond.

Here's a close-up:

So what do we do with the Christmas trees already in the Ballroom? The Bride and Groom were inventive and placed pictures on the trees!

For the grand exit, we have seen all the staples: rice, bird seed, bubbles, sparklers... For this wedding, the bride and groom exited with a dusting of snow.

Snow? Yes, snow. Fake snow. This biodegradable product called Ecofetti dissolves in water for quick, Earth-friendly clean-up!

It was a really fun night, and everything was just beautiful! Congratulations Kelsey and Corey!

Holiday Fest St. Nicholas Ball

Last night we held the 5th Annual Holiday Fest St. Nicholas Ball here at the Club. This year, the event was put on by the YMCA to benefit the Learn to Swim program. Bluegrass was honored to be a part of Holiday Fest again this year! The night turned out really great, so here's some highlights!

Let's start with the cake. Donated by Faboo Cakes, this was an amazing work of art!

The tables looked awesome! With some of our in house centerpieces (no charge), greenery and other elements were used to create a great look!

Over in the Glassroom, four professionally decorated trees were available for silent auction. These trees are decorated on Friday and voted on by the Mayor and other prominent people of Hendersonville. Here is the first place entry:

Here's the other entries:

Also available for silent auction were gingerbread houses made by various members of the community. These were the "prize" gingerbread houses that were displayed around town and voted on.

Today at the club we hosted our annual Santa Brunch. We are now in the thick of the holiday season at Bluegrass, but for now we wanted to take a moment to stop and say:

Happy Holidays!!!

It's not too soon to start thinking about next year's holiday season. Dates start filling up in January so be sure to check your calendar and give Kat a call. 615-824-6528 Ext. 111.
