Romantic Earthy Arrangement

Sat, 25 Apr 2009 22:18:38 +0000

Ever the romantic, I am totally in love with these pink orchids all wrapped up in willow branches and surrounded by candles. This table setting definitely has a tropical feel mixed with old world elegance. I think this arrangement could work in any season and would definitely wow your guests.

Victorian Chic Table Design

The designers of today are totally upping the ante with unique ways to set a table. Check out this black and white themed table. I love the Victorian chairs and the chic lighted table. And the floral arrangements of varied different flowers all in shades of white. This would be perfect for a winter wedding.

Sizzling Blue Bar

Blue is hot. I have seen some amazing glow bars recently and I think this trend definitely works for today’s hip urban bride. When you walk into a space with a bar that is all lit up, the nightclub feel is such fun!

Putting on the Ritz

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 15:45:18 +0000

A few weeks back, I had the opporunity to document the work of David Tutera at the Ritz Carlton in Westchester. David was invited to create wedding reception table displays. He designed a suite of arrangements, from small to grand for each, that represented the four seasons.

I love his use of water, glass, and candles along with the fresh colors of pink, white and green for this summer collection.

Note the varied containers here that bring out the same colors as the larger arrangement.

For spring, David emphasized the lush growth that bursts out at that time of year. He highlighted the greens with pink, purple, and ivory flowers.

Winter always offers an opportunity for elegance. I appreciated his use of crystals with white tulips and calla lilies.

The green, orange, and burgundy of autumn are accentuated perfectly with gold candelabras and chargers.

The willow branches add a rustic touch to these elegant centerpieces.

David was also asked to speak to the brides and their guests about wedding planning and design.

I also want to give a huge thank you to Ashley and Nora from David’s team for all of the hard work and their help at the Ritz.Great work all around!
