Alena Swanson: Create, Design, Inspire

At Desert Greens, we have two rooms where we hold events. Previous pictures have been of our Fairway room.

It is rare that we go all out to decorate the small room, but this month, we had a wonderful family book the Greens room for a wedding reception, and they decided to add in the extras to make the room pop! My staff said they had never seen it completely decorated… and definitely not with chair covers! These pictures are my proof that our little Greens room can be transformed into a beautiful wedding reception room. The bride decorated in white and red, and the room looked absolutely gorgeous!

I think I thrive on stress and coca-cola.

Seriously… I crave the wedding and event filled weekends. No, it’s not like I crave a day off, becuase I really never have Saturdays off. I just love being a part of the wedding day. Last weekend we had a beautiful night themed wedding there at the course. We decorated everything in black and white at the bride’s request and it was so elegant!

I love lanterns on the ceiling! So pretty!!

Yes those bows take a long time, but they look great, don’t they!?

Our banquets at Desert Greens always come with a touch of creativity… I have to highlight Chef’s many talents because we often hear that it was amazing, wonderful food; but not as many people see all the fun details he throws into the mix!

For example, only the first couple people in line see this salad:

Or all of these details:

This bruchetta was amazing btw…! Yummm!

What a pretty cantaloupe flower!
