Hollywood Mitzvah

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

We collaborated with Chadnie and Jenny at White Linen Events for this fabulous bat mitzvah at Dove Canyon. Jessica wanted a vintage Hollywood feel to her event combined with modern movies on screen. Black, white, and gold were the colors with lots of details…. gigantic gold statues, film props, red carpet, staging, and awesome lighting. We decided to do two level arrangements on glass fluted vases with lots of bling acrylic ice in the glass. To top it all off, as the lights went down, the water submersible lights in the vases created a unique mood…

Rancho Las Lomas

Friday, August 1st, 2008

Ceremony and Reception Rancho Las Lomas / Lawrence Canyon

Kristen wanted a very lush, right out of the garden look to her floral decor. Very light and soft colors of cream, butter, blush, canteloupe, and sage. Her girls were in a tan color, and that same tone carried through on to the linens. The ceremony and reception were both outside amongst all the natural beauty Rancho Las Lomas has to offer, how can you go wrong with oak trees, rolling hills, spanish arcitecture, white tigers, parrots, and zebras??!! This venue is wonderful experience you and your guests will never forget. We used weathered urns for a cool effect on the centerpieces along with hydrangea, china mums, pin cushion protea, roses, stock, astilbe, curly willow, hanging amaranthus, and unique garden foliage to complete the look.

Feather Accents

Friday, August 1st, 2008

Ceremony: Calvary Apostolic Tabernacle / Ontario Ca

Kristy walked into my office with one crucial element that she wanted to have throughout her decor…. peacock feathers. It was all about the peacock from the get go! If you look closely at a feather near the eye, there are gorgeous jewel tones to draw inspiration from; gold, champagne, chocolate, apple green, turquoise….there is even some rose color if you get the right light. Her bridesmaids wore chocolate dresses with mocha accents, we used lots of wrought iron in her ceremony. Her colors she chose to go with were vibrant green and shades of brown. Two level candle lanterns adorned the aisle, and they rented a 14ft tall square/dome structure for the ceremony from Best of the Best www.btb-events.com. We dazzled it up with top to bottom greens, cymbidium orchids, Bells of Ireland, hanging beaded strands, curly willow, and feathers, and mini crystal votives for the bling factor. This was the talk of the town –according to Kristy after the ceremony people are still taking about it! Her father is the Reverend at their church, and her wedding was the first they have had in their new sanctuary. I had a blast working with Kristy and her family, it was an honor :)
