A Glimpse Inside the Ballroom

I had to do some test shots before shooting the video, so I thought I would share a couple with you.



I could continue trying to make everything perfect, but I won't.  I would love to have some type of centerpiece for the tables, but nothing has jumped out at me.  I would have also loved to add wall sconces.  Maybe next time.

  1. Everything looks lovely.

    A centerpiece for the tables would add to the decor. Maybe fresh or dried flowers in a vase or an unlit candle arrangement would work.

  5. Let me translate "I would love to have something on the table, but nothing jumps out at me." This really means "I'm tired of working on this ballroom. I could care less about those tables at this point and if I don't start shooting the video soon, I am going to pull my hair out."

    Now with that being said, I did find something nice for the centerpieces.

    Debbie - There will be flowers, but no vases.

    MsLydia there will be no tiaras! I did think of that a couple of weeks ago, but I have way too much time invested in this dance already.

    Frannie and limbe dolls, thanks.

  6. You have made yourself perfectly clear, but I am glad there will be table flowers (minus vases)... but can I say that I like the tiara idea, too?

    LOL!

  8. Don't let this drive you crazy. You've done more than enough from what I'm looking at..LOL. You have to draw the line somewhere or you will never be finished.

    Love the setting and everyone looks perfect.

  9. Dollz4Moi- I am proud to say that I finished shooting the video about 90 mins ago. I have edited the pictures and now it is time to add the script and music. I am really ahead of schedule. Of course, this is only part 2 of what looks like will be a 5 part story. Maybe by the end I will have figured out how to make tiaras. I've been known to have a few light bulb moments.

  10. WOW, Vanessa...it looks stunning! Especially the glowing affect from the lighting, looks just like a real ballroom! I'm loving the table cloth, elegant. I think it's worked out nicely, especially if one of the scenes will include some of the tasty food you've made...there's just enough spacing for drinks and food. I can't WAIT to see this video!! I'm trying to get my lil' one to take a late nap (we've been out running all day) so I can catch up on all the episodes. But it's "Mamma, this or Mamma, that..." She senses I need some me time. LOL...

  11. Tracy - There is lots of food in this video. I didn't show the spread because I wanted it to be a surprise. I'm sure you will get some "me" time soon. They never stay up forever, even when they want to.

  12. Everything looks great! I too like the light behind the curtain. It looks like a fuction I went to recently. Translation- it looks realistic. I am awaiting the video. I sure wish I had some of that okra dish to munch on while I watched the video!:) I think it is all gone by now.

  13. Oh! BTW, the center piece is normally the keepsake at this type of event. You know the... taped to the bottom of the chair. Just saying.

  14. Very nice setting Vanessa. Everything looks so nice now, I can't wait to see it all come together in the video.

  15. I love your scenery and furniture. Perhaps one of my Royal dolls should stage an event in your ball room? http://daniel-s-world.blogspot.com/

    1. Duke of Swann - Thanks. I'm not sure that ballroom was fit for your Royal crew. They seem to have hang out in some really nice places.
