Spring reception

A very simple centerpiece featuring the bride's favorite flower--tulips! Floating candles, submerged tulips and petals--simple but effective.

A very elaborate cake--five tiers.

And last, but not least a tossing bouquet.

Shades of blue on Mothers Day weekend

I always love the look and feel of a long table, this one dressed in shades of blues and candlelight just made me happy!

Multiple pieces on a table are one of my favorites--the glass keeps it clean and simple.

Delicate spring flowers just seemed to bloom off of the table--anemone,hydrangea,ranunuclas just to get started.

The perimeter tables alternated between low floral centerpieces and the pieces with the candles--shades of blues and whites--clean and crisp!

Texas Old Town in the fall!

Just received these photos from the mother of the bride from a wedding last November.

This is Texas Old Town in Kyle, Tx--it has a definite elegant rustic feel.

The out door area features a large open air pavillion-- the bride chose all fuschia flowers to complement the teal/turquoise gowns and to complement her sash.

The tall pieces were a combination of curly willow and orchids accented with candles.

The low pieces featured miniature fuschia calla lilies and candles-- the ribbon was the perfect match to the bridesmaids dresses.

Thanks for sharing the photos.

The Four Seasons fall weddings!

A beautiful fall palette for a recent event-- rich, warm reds,oranges and a hint of purple. These are a few pro pics from Stella Alesi-- absolutely gorgeous photos.

The bride and groom lived in Amsterdam, so it was planning a very long distance! I had been referred to her by a past bride (thanks so much!). We met in person one time-the rest of the planning was done via email and phone-- with a package of samples,swatches in between.

Every detail carefully executed-- the cookies were prepared with a recipe from the groom's grandmother.

Pink peony centerpieces

 

Here are the centerpieces from Jenni's peony wedding--this is our 31' pilsner with pink flowers perched on top--pink roses, peony and hydrangea-it has a small amount of california crystals inside the vase and was finished with about 12-15 candles per table--one of Jenni's other requests --alot of candles!

 

This was the end result of the low centerpiece--we had originally wanted to use pillar candles instead of the floating candles.  The pillar candles were not allowed by the venue unless they were covered in glass.  We have differing opinions at different venues whether open pillar candles are allowed--make sure you check to see what is/is not allowed.

 

Here is the tall centerpiece with the candles lit and the special effect lighting in place--the bridesmaids wore the dark blue navy gowns/the linens were dark blue so the the room was highlighted with blue lights!

 

Here the lighting is in full swing--the room was divided with beautiful ivory drapes and highlighted with the pattern and blue lights--on the other side is the cocktail area and the Blingy tree!

Barbara  designed the overall look of the room!

Most popular centerpieces

 

The flowers submerged under water have been one of our most popular centerpieces over the past year and I do not see the trend slowing down--

 

There are many varieties of flowers that can work in these centerpieces--some tables feature 2 vases, some feature on ly 1 vase.  The possibilities are really endless.

 

I love the dendrobium orchids --the purple ones really look awesome.
