Real Wedding: Magenta and Green Garden Event

Take a look at this gorgeous garden event we recently designed at the Nixon Library.  I am absolutely  in love with the white, magenta and floral mandap we created. Heavy swags of white chiffon, adorned with an array of beautiful florals surrounding the top, while petite floral clutches were used as tie backs . Modern white pop chairs served perfectly as the bride and groom seating.    Margenta and white petals, designed in a swirl pattern lead the aisle.  Finally, a 20' floral garland hung  on the backs of the chairs for ceremony as grand  entrance piece.

Harvard Photography did a wonderful job at capturing this event!  Take a look below for more images.

Reception decor consisted of elements that share the same garden feel as the ceremony, however concentrated on golden features that cohesively work with the Nixon Library ballroom.  A combination of low and high centerpieces filled the room.  Centering the room, we designed the stage to add drama with height by using over sized candle walls.  What a wonderful event!

A special thanks to the coordinating team, Planning Elegance. Enjoy!

Sustainable Design Project II: Wedding Gown De-Construction

Materials: Vintage wedding dress, circa 1970's picked up from Goodwill, Vintage stemware from my grandmothers collection. Glue. Corsage Pins.

I am always playing with new designs. I wanted to know what I could do using an old wedding gown and some vintage items my great grandmother had given to me many years ago. So, I went into design mode and started tearing, ripping, glueing, stacking and pinning.
Here are some images I snapped of the original materials. I had a photo shoot last week where the finished product was featured. I am excited to show you the end result in the coming weeks.
