Lionscrest Manor | Colorado Bridal Show | Life Exposed Photography | Booth 66 | Show Photos

Tana, with Lionscrest here! Just got some great photos in from Marsha with Life Exposed Photography. She shot these at the Annual Spring Bridal Showcase. I love the way the color scheme played out with shades of pinks set off by the polk-a-dots and stripes.

The Lanterns pictured below are just one of the many decor items we offer to our clients at the Manor.

Also, check out these pics from Booth 66 Photo Booths. Everyone had a lot of fun being silly.
