A cake with peonies at The Driskill

One of my favorite cakes from last spring-- so unusual, the different proportions,the henna pattern all executed beautifully by the pastry chef at The Driskill hotel.

A cake top of light pink peonies--sometimes simple is best.

One of my favorite photos --classic and timeless!

The Driskill- peacock feathers!

I loved the detail that our bride added to her bridal bouquet-- I'm not sure if this was the inspiration or something that came along during the process, but I absolutely loved it--a jeweled peacock feather!!

One of the requests from the bride was a small elegant bouquet- a perfect compliment to this gorgeous dress.

The table centerpieces featured a combination of peacock feathers and dark purple hydrangea--all placed on the these gorgeous blue linens !

Thanks to Stacy at SMSphotography for the images.

(I have a few more that we will put up soon!)

The Driskill Hotel weddings

 

This was the extraordinary head table at a wedding at The Driskill Hotel.

This table was 32 feet long and featured  8 tall, elaborate arrangements, filled with a variety square and cylindrical vases filled with both flowers and candles.

 

This custom made chuppah was placed on a stage in the ballroom-- The lush floral garlands covered the front and side perimeter, with the back featuring hundreds of suspended orchid blooms--

absolutely stunning!

 

The tables that surrounded the head table featured  low, colorful arrangements.  The ceremony took place in the ballroom, while the reception took place in the Mezzanine.

Birch containers

 

These centerpieces were featured a few weekends ago in the Victorian Room at The historic Driskill Hotel-- 

The bride requested an elegant hill country look-- she provided us with these birch receptacles.  They are hollow tubes that were purchased from Pottery Barn from their winter collection. The groom cut them down to size to fit over a glass container (who says grooms do not participate?)

 

The linens were a beautiful natural weave in a sand color accented with the dark wood chargers.  We completed the look with votive candles wrapped with a big green leaf and raffia.

 

The flowers were a mix of seasonal blooms and herbs-colorful for this dark room. Check out the pro pics over at Pam's blog, it is the Smith/Shanley event.
