Summer Harvest Picnic at Firestone Vineyards

SYED has been featured in Style Me Pretty Living! Head over and take a closer look at our lovely summer harvest photo shoot at Firestone Vineyards. We absolutely loved the warm, rustic feel of the wooden lanterns and aged finials combined with the gorgeous anemones, ranunculus, and peonies! Firestone Crossroads Estate provided the perfect backdrop for this gorgeous picnic. It was such a pleasure teaming up with Brian Leahy Photography, Rani Hoover, and all of the amazing vendors that partook in this shoot! 

Participating Vendors:
Rani Hoover, Brian Leahy Photography, Elan Event Rentals, The Butter End Cakery, Leonardo Curti, Coast 2 Coast Collections, La Tavola Linen, and Firestone Vineyard & Winery.

SYED Featured on Ambrose Weddings Blog

We were so delighted to meet Kristine from Ambrose Weddings at a recent Wedding Store 24 bridal show.  An intimate show located at the Double Tree in San Pedro, vendors and brides were able to mingle and enjoy a beautiful, sunny California day! As the show began Kristine approached us immediately and we had an instant bond!!! Her recent blog combined tips and personal advice from vendors from different industry back grounds.  SYED design team member Shaynee and I commented specifically on advise for coming up with ideas for decor and were quoted in her blog.  Check it out!!

Kristine also provided some great images from that day!  Our design for the show included a 8' tall centerpiece with crystals and orchid garlands pouring down capturing  a sparkling and colorful waterfall effect.  Towards the bottom of the designs, various platforms, lanterns and vessels accented the table scape.  An abundant amount of candle light provided that special glow to the design.

SYED Featured in The Bride and Bloom Magazine: A Tribute to Alexander Mcqueen

I am so excited to blog about this photo shoot we were able to be apart of earlier this year. The Bride and Bloom Magazine, inspired by great fashion designers, has created a beautiful and quite interesting spread on four major influential designers of high-end fashion. Approached by Bride and Bloom, we were extremely excited about this venture, especially when they asked us to create a tribute tabletop to designer, Alexander McQueen. His avant-garde, beyond the norms of fashion really got our creative juices flowing. Challenged by the effort to create something on McQueen's level while still being approachable to brides was not easy, especially because his creative palette was theatrical and often times dark and gothic. With that being said below are our inspiration images and some images from the photo shoot. I hope you enjoy!

This issue is now being sold, check out your nearest stores to pick up a copy!
