			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;ve probably already noted that <a href="http://allegrophotography.com/2010/03/03/st-francis-hotel-wedding-sf-ca/" target="_blank">Amber and Tyler</a>&#8216;s wedding at the historic <a href="http://www.westinstfrancis.com/index.cfm" target="_blank">Westin St. Francis Hotel</a> above <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Square,_San_Francisco" target="_blank">Union Square</a> was all about <a href="http://www.onlyinsanfrancisco.com/" target="_blank">city</a> sophistication and classic style. She continued the look and theme with her floral design; limiting the type and color of flowers highlighted the texture and gave the whole look a cohesive feel. </p>
<p><img src="http://allegrophotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/at-westin-st-francis-wedding-floral-1-590x393.jpg" alt="at-westin-st-francis-wedding-floral-1" title="at-westin-st-francis-wedding-floral-1" width="590" height="393" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1520" /></p>
<p>For her own bouquet, held here by her bridesmaid during the ceremony, she chose white orchids with yellow centers. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4394625249/" title="at-westin-st-francis-wedding-floral-3 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4394625249_89c18c0af7_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="at-westin-st-francis-wedding-floral- brides bouquets of white orchids held during ceremony by bridesmaid" /></a>
</p>
<p>Her bridesmaids&#8217; bouquets were also a single flower type and color- all merlot calla lillies. They just feel like an flower for an evening event.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4394625167/" title="at-westin-st-francis-wedding-floral-2 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4020/4394625167_e10d5c1471_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="at-westin-st-francis-wedding-floral- bridesmaid's red calla lillies bouquet held during wedding ceremony in san fancisco" /></a>
</p>
<p>Together the ladies looked great- white on white for the bride and deep red with chocolate brown for the bridesmaids. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4394624315/" title="at-westin-st-francis-wedding-floral-9 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4057/4394624315_50930d58a2_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="at-westin-st-francis-wedding-floral- bride and bridesmaids with their flowers- her's white orchids, theirs burgundy or purple calla lillies" /></a>
</p>
<p>Corsages for the moms continued the look- deep red orchids. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4394624625/" title="at-westin-st-francis-wedding-floral-8 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2700/4394624625_2b799ca121_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="at-westin-st-francis-wedding-floral- mom of the groom's corsage with red orchids match personal flowers for this fall san fran wedding" /></a>
</p>
<p>To add to the elegance of the ceremony in the <a href="http://www.westinstfrancis.com/weddings/floor_plans.cfm" target="_blank">Borgia Room</a>, white candles of varying heights and types were places on the mantle over the fireplace. They were surrounded by garnet roses and greenery.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4408759112/" title="at-westin-st-francis-wedding-floral-5 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4035/4408759112_66581ee821_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="at-westin-st-francis-wedding-floral- candlelit mantle- with votives red roses and greenery- floating candles- san fran hotel wedding" /></a>;</p>
<p>For the reception table decor in <a href="http://www.westinstfrancisgroups.com/java/30.html" target="_blank">Alexandra&#8217;s</a>, multiple containers were used on each table. Each had a different single flower type in complimentary colors; all the containers were varing sizes. The monochromatic look came together in a sophisticated way. </p>
<p>Up close&#8230; </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4395394146/" title="at-westin-st-francis-wedding-floral-4 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4064/4395394146_429d5143fe_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="at-westin-st-francis-wedding-floral- sf wedding centerpieces- multiple arrangements of red flowers- different types in different containers- orchids, calla lillies" /></a></p>
<p>From a distance&#8230; </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4394627357/" title="at-westin-st-francis-wedding-floral-7 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4070/4394627357_d652b38fe9_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="at-westin-st-francis-wedding-floral- tall red orchid floral arrangements during reception in sf, cali" /></a>
</p>
<p>One of my favorite touches was this monogram. The bride and groom&#8217;s formal initials laid on a bed of flowers- roses,  dahlias, lilies, orchids- with lights around the edges.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4394627021/" title="at-westin-st-francis-wedding-floral-6 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2761/4394627021_25561a2f73_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="at-westin-st-francis-wedding-floral- bride and groom's monogram on a bed of red flowers- gerbera daisies and roses- at reception by union square, california" /></a>
</p>
<p>Congrats to Jeffrey from <a href="http://jfloralart.com/" target="_blank">J Floral Art</a> for creating such a stunning look for Amber and Tyler. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few weeks back, I had the opporunity to document the work of <a href="http://davidtutera.com/" target="_blank">David Tutera</a> at the <a href="http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Properties/Westchester/Default.htm" target="_blank">Ritz Carlton</a> in <a href="http://www.westchestergov.com/index.htm" target="_blank">Westchester</a>. 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.</p>
<p>
<img src="http://allegrophotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/ritz_showcase0261-353x530.jpg" alt="ritz_showcase- summer wedding flower arrangement- pink green white" title="ritz_showcase0261" width="353" height="530" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-260" /></p>
<p><span id="more-163"></span></p>
<p>I love his use of water, glass, and candles along with the fresh colors of pink, white and green for this summer collection.</p>
<p><a title="ritz_showcase021 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3373400749/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3652/3373400749_45103080b4_o.jpg" alt="ritz_showcase- summer wedding flower arrangement- pink green white- ritz westchester" width="530" height="370" /></a></p>
<p>Note the varied containers here that bring out the same colors as the larger arrangement.</p>
<p><a title="ritz_showcase050 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3373401255/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3571/3373401255_22e9eed21b_o.jpg" alt="ritz_showcase- summer wedding flower arrangement- pink purple green white- David Tutera" width="370" height="530" /></a></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><a title="ritz_showcase016 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3374216044/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3553/3374216044_bd9de4a8c2_o.jpg" alt="ritz_showcase- spring wedding flower arrangement- pink purple green white- Ritz" width="530" height="370" /></a></p>
<p><a title="ritz_showcase049 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3374216512/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3596/3374216512_8571147bd3_o.jpg" alt="ritz_showcase- david tutera- spring wedding flower arrangement- pink green white purple" width="370" height="530" /></a></p>
<p>Winter always offers an opportunity for elegance. I appreciated his use of crystals with white tulips and calla lilies.</p>
<p><a title="ritz_showcase041 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3373401079/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3430/3373401079_1f786b9900_o.jpg" alt="ritz_showcase- westchester- winter wedding flower arrangement- white crystals" width="370" height="530" /></a></p>
<p><a title="ritz_showcase038 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3374216370/"></a><a title="ritz_showcase006 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3374215862/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3434/3374215862_c1d1c56570_o.jpg" alt="ritz_showcase- david tutera- winter wedding flower arrangement- white crystals candlebra" width="370" height="530" /></a></p>
<p>The green, orange, and burgundy of autumn are accentuated perfectly with gold candelabras and chargers.</p>
<p><a title="ritz_showcase032 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3373400945/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3637/3373400945_a45d17c141_o.jpg" alt="ritz_showcase- new york- autumn wedding flower arrangement- cinnamon orange burgundy green willow branch gold" width="370" height="530" /></a></p>
<p>The willow branches add a rustic touch to these elegant centerpieces.</p>
<p><a title="ritz_showcase009 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3374215958/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3568/3374215958_dcbba55393_o.jpg" alt="ritz_showcase- new york- autumn wedding flower arrangement- cinnamon orange burgundy green willow branch gold- westchester" width="370" height="530" /></a></p>
<p>David was also asked to speak to the brides and their guests about wedding planning and design.</p>
<p><a title="ritz_showcase064 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3374216636/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3374216636_c7dcf31b90_o.jpg" alt="ritz_bridal showcase- david tutuera- white plains" width="370" height="530" /></a></p>
<p><a title="ritz_showcase065 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3373401361/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3632/3373401361_fd7ca7df28_o.jpg" alt="ritz_showcase- david tutera wedding planner- westchester ny" width="530" height="370" /></a></p>
<p><a title="ritz_showcase023 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3373400785/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3542/3373400785_4b81a703c9_o.jpg" alt="ritz_showcase- david tutera on tv- westchester ny" width="530" height="370" /></a><a title="ritz_showcase016 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3374216044/"></a></p>
<p>I also want to give  a huge thank you to Ashley and Nora from David&#8217;s team for all of the hard work and their help at the <a href="http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Properties/Westchester/Default.htm" target="_blank">Ritz</a>.Great work all around!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just a week ago,  I ventured to <a href="http://nycgo.com/" target="_blank">New York</a> to photograph a wedding designed by <a href="http://davidtutera.com/" target="_blank">David Tutera</a> and his amazing team. Their art shone at the <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/metropolitan-club-new-york" target="_blank">Metropolitan Club</a>, where both the ceremony and the reception were held. This club, adjacent to <a href="http://www.centralpark.com/" target="_blank">Central Park</a> and across from <a href="http://www.theplaza.com/" target="_blank">The Plaza</a>, is majesty in Manhattan. And all of David&#8217;s ideas worked to enhance the beauty already present. The lighting used to highlight the ceilings, the elegant floral display with just the right degree of opulence, the candlelight thoughout, the crystals dripping from the centerpieces&#8230;. all a perfect match.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s a peak of the wedding&#8217;s style and elegance&#8230;</p>
<p>The guests were welcomed by this stunning ball of roses with ivy.</p>

<p>The ceremony began in this splendid space at the Metropolitan Club. I love the red draping along the doorways and the beautiful paintings above. David accented the walk down the aisle with this amazing floral archway which the bride walked through on her way to the huppah.</p>

<p>And the huppah felt like a private sanctuary of flowers.</p>

<p>Music accompanied the guests, the bride and her attendants as they entered the space.</p>

<p>The guests then gathered in the Marble Room for cocktails and hors d&#8217;euvres.</p>
