Real Wedding: Debbie + Mate

Debbie and Mate's wedding was absolutely magical! The ceremony showcased an aisle lined with lush, white floral-adorned trees. White and blush roses were found in every arrangement with gorgeous cascading phalaenopsis orchids in all of our tall centerpieces. The event had just the right amount of bling- featuring a sequined backdrop, platforms, and bouquet with rhinestone accents. Be sure to take a look at the gorgeous buffet display. Chandeliers always bring warmth and elegance to any environment and the asymmetric draping made this dining experience one to remember!

Gorgeous White, Black, and Gold Wedding at Los Verdes Golf Course

We had so much fun creating all of the custom décor for this wedding! Combining gold sequins and white roses, we created a custom-built canopy ring with matching isle tie-backs. Our large, lush white arrangements set atop oversized golden urns truly set the stage for the beautiful ceremony! 

The fun black, gold, and white reception featured a custom art-deco backdrop, a very unique “floating” sweetheart table adorned with rows of golden votives, and custom gold-sequin covered marquee letters of the couple’s initials. We were also able to introduce our newest addition to the SYED centerpiece collection- an array of beautiful gold leaf covered platforms!

Inspiration: Buildings and Structures

Inspiration for design can come from a multitude of different outlets. To get the creative juices flowing our SYED team turns to art, fashion, trends, and architecture. We are always thinking how to make our tablescapes and designs different and interesting, or what we like to say here at SYED "pushing the limits to what is ordinary and conventional". More often than not pushing those limits require us to put our carpentry skills to the test, in order to fabricate something that will be exciting and new for our clients.

As I was researching for this blog I came across some photos of buildings and structures that resemble some of the designs we've constructed. I thought it would be interesting to see them side by side and note some similarities.

Although the inspiration photo is a single building, these two structures compare in form and also design. The centerpiece we fabricated out of fencing material shares a similar criss cross effect that the building conveys. Both standing structures also share similarities in its varying heights. This centerpiece was one of many for this specific event. Each piece was designed specifically to be different and bear a modernistic feeling. Check out the next piece which was also used in the same event.

These cut out boxes are modern and fun designs which as you see below can be used horizontally or vertically. The design specifically allows for "window" decor, or in this case we input beautiful white calla lillies. Comparing it to the inspiration image below, these houses are extremely modern in style. Providing that same "window" effect, the structure allows for visual clearance and a sense of openness.

This last design, a modern take on a classical and timeless column structure. However for our columns, instead of classical capitals or ornate heads of columns, we choose to wrap it in fun and decorative wire. Attached to the top of the column were silver metallic faux succulents and bud vases with single blooms of purple phalaenopsis orchids.

Its interesting to see all the similarities and how architecture can inspire or shape many of our designs.
