Purple with a passion!

 

Another one of those long, elaborate head tables--this one all dressed in purple--purple hydrangea with the curly willow in the tall pieces--the low pieces featured lavender roses, stock and a little accent of green.

 

I love  multiple components on a table--have I mentioned that before? Haha.  The pedestal candles have an accent of brown with the coffee beans--a perfect compliment to the brown and purple runners.

 

The individually placed blooms at each place setting is the perfect finishing touch.

 

These tables surrounded the long head table-- a small trio of vases with submerged orchids and a low,lush floral in the birch container featuring shades of greens and purples. When we are working with a bride and giving advice on the overall design--one way to help meet budget guidelines will always be to mix up the styles of centerpieces-- especially a buffet seating-for a plated dinner it gets a little more complicated--you don't want someone to feel like they have the "budget" option!

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.
