As the Ceremony ended and the two became one, the guests headed to Butler to the Crystal Room for the reception.The doors to the Crystal Room opened at 5:00 pm. The Crystal room glowed under soft red lighting. The tables were covered with black linens and crisp ivory overlays, while the chairs had black chair covers with an ivory satin sash, which tied into a bow around the back. In the center of each table, there was a beautiful burgundy rose trio centerpiece, along with diamond studded picture frames, which held the table number. The centerpieces were provided by the Bloomery and the picture frames were made by Megan. Guests were mingling and enjoying the open bar and the appetizers, Megan and Matthew chosea cheese ball display, and the Crystal Room staff butler passed Jumbo shrimp cocktails, chicken kabobs, crab stuffed mushroom caps, cocktail meatballs, and bacon wrapped water chestnuts.
