Thursday Tablescapes....PART 3

Hooray!! It's THURSDAY!

and its also

ST PATRICK'S DAY

So I decided it would be appropriate to save our "green-themed" tablescape for the day the world celebrates GREEN.

If you tuned in last few weeks for Part 1 and Part 2 then you know that we are taking a few moments each Thursday to feature photos from various photo-shoots we have been a part of over the last year.

(if you missed it ...take a moment it is worth checking it out!)

For this particular shoot we wanted to focus on a more intimate styled affair, really playing with the linen tones and lighting to convey just the right romantic atmosphere. Our color palette for the setting was STEEL BLUE, CHARTRUSE GREEN & CHOCOLATE BROWN.... a little unconventional, but after looking at the photos I am sure you will agree they look beyond fabulous when paired together.

We of course teamed up once again with the fabulous artists at

NICK ADAMS PHOTOGRAPHY

AND

BLOOMERS Flowers & Gifts

We were so grateful for all their hard work and attention to detail on these shoots, and can't thank them enough for all they did!

Steel Blue pin-tucked linens and Chocolate Crush, runners and napkins gave us a luxe base to build our tablescape on.

We really wanted to play with height and dimension for the floral arrangements,

and sure enough.... we immediately fell in love with all of the variety that BLOOMERS provided us with! Green Spider Mum, Cymbidium Orchids, Green Gladiolus even tiny mounds of Green Moss. BLOOMERS really went the extra mile to keep our color palette true.... through and through.

Orchids and Apple-tinis.... what more can you ask for?? Especially when they accented the variety of glass vessels perfectly!

I adore how much personality the Chocolate & Lime Green colored seat cushions added to the over-all look. They added a whole new dimension to an all ready inviting table setting.

The close-up shots are some of my favorites. I was floored to see how well NICK ADAMS PHOTOGRAPHY captured the mood of the seductive candle light bouncing off the glasses and flower-arrangements. AMAZING!

Custom Menus were printed for each guest setting. Matching ink, hand-picked fonts for the table numbers and menus....nothing was missed! Every detail was chosen specifically to represent the end goal.
An intimate candlelight dinner for the closest of friends and family.

DELICIOUS!

FME: Featured Wedding Friday

Welcome!

It's Friday, and you know what that means. It's time to feature another glamorous event, designed and coordinated by Forevermore Events!

We have an elegant wedding to share with you today.

Taysia & Chris and their families came to us and asked Forevermore Events to help plan an intimate dinner/reception for their close family and friends. We loved the idea of simplifying the event, but still keep the theme and classic elements that they were wanting very prominent.

We were lucky enough to get a few images from Taysia & Chris's Bridal Shoot with Tiffany Jane Photography, and just HAD to show off how cute this couple is!

Amazing! Thank you Tiffany Jane!

Taysia & Chris chose The Villa Gardens Reception Center for the location of their event. It was well suited for the intimate setting they wanted, and the dark woods and gold accents matched their color pallet perfectly.

The long head table was adorned with gold tinted- mercury glass vases filled with roses, orchids and burgundy dahlias.

The Bride and Groom chose BLOOMERS to provide them with unique floral arrangements for each of the guest tables. I was so impressed by how well each flower was hand picked by Bloomers to match the Brides color pallet perfectly. The dominant sultry gold china mums and deep burgundy dahlias really popped next to the champagne table linens.

Each centerpiece was filled with gold china mums, burgundy dahlias, goldenrod cymbidium orchids, creamy ivory roses magnolia leaves and touches of spotted feathers. OUTSTANDING!

Custom Menus and favor cards were designed specifically for the event by the local design team at BUMBLE LOVE

OH...and the food! MARVELLOUS CATERING spoiled the wedding guests with a build your own pasta bar, fresh green salads, specialty drinks, decadent desserts and dreamy artisan bread!

It makes me hungry just looking at the pictures!

De-lish!

A few more of the outstanding floral arrangements.... How gorgeous are those China Mums??

And LAST but not least.... The Wedding Favors

I was so happy with how these came out!
Each guest received a fresh white chocolate-carameled apple, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar! YUM... all ready to be enjoyed. Tied with a golden ribbon and adorned with custom tags, made specially for the Bride and Groom.

Head to Toe this was a gorgeous wedding, and we were so fortunate to be a part of Taysia & Chris's special day! Congratulations you two!

Thursday Tablescapes....Part 2

Hooray!! It's THURSDAY!

If you tuned in last week for Part 1 of "Thursday Tablescapes" then you know that we are taking a few moments each Thursday to feature photos from various photo-shoots we have been a part of over the last year.

(if you missed it it is worth taking a moment and checking it out!)

Again, for this shoot we teamed up with the brilliant and talented minds at

NICK ADAMS PHOTOGRAPHY

AND

BLOOMERS Flowers & Gifts

I am especially fond of this Tablescape! I loved how the colors came together harmoniously, yet still had a dramatic overall effect. The CORALS, PEACHES, PINKS and soft HONEYSUCKLE were the perfect offset for the touches of striking TURQUOISE. We chose an outdoor location for this shoot because we had access to an amazing vintage

1956 Chevrolet Bell Air. It was the perfect element to have at this shoot!

I ADORE the Chandelier in this tablescape!

Gold tinted mercury glass-filled with ROSES, HYDRANGEAS, and RANUNCULUS really made the table come alive. I love fresh flowers! They always add that final touch, the living element that every table setting needs. Whether the centerpieces tower over the guests or are nestled in among table-numbers, trinkets or photos, don't forget the FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS!

STUNNING! Thank you BLOOMERS!

Custom place-cards/menus were a special addition, and added quite a bit of flair to the beautiful floral patterned china plates.

For this setting we wanted to show how to incorporated your guest favors, into the over-all design. We had jars of delicious local honey placed near each table setting, had precious custom "Meant to BEE" labels made for each jar. They looked so adorable and inviting cradled in the satin turquoise table runner.
