Eclectic Romance

Every once in awhile we get a Wedding client who knows EXACTLY what they want, the personal style they'd like to reflect and the flexibility to let us really help them achieve that look. Brigid and Ryan were a Designer's DREAM! The bride envisioned a palette of purples-every shade imaginable, offset with white and black and a surprise accent of red. They wanted to feature the red at the reception only and keep it as a subtle surprise. First, the ceremony...



The bride's bouquet was done in all Pacific Blue roses with brooches she has collected over the years. The Bridesmaid bouquets were small and simple, but the range of purple hues was a stunning effect.









The bride and groom loved the idea of something natural, but grand as a backdrop for their ceremony. Of course the multi-million dollar estate they got married at provided gorgeous views, but we enhanced and defined the altar with a beautiful 9' tall manzanita tree dressed in crystals and hydrangea.



As the guests were enjoying cocktails inside, we transformed the yard into this gorgeous, eclectic reception area.





We reserved most of the red for the bride and groom's sweetheart table, but each table number and reception card provided the pop of red that kept the whole design concept pulled together and cohesive.






We used two different styles of centerpiece design to keep things interesting and add a little extra dimension. Some tables held low, but lush arrangements with simple pillar candles highlighting the look, while others held beautiful black candelabras and black mint julep cups spilling with flowers.  The black crystal chandelier hanging over the center of the black and white check dance floor was breathtaking...



The sweetheart table was stunning with it's vibrant red arrangement.



After the ceremony, Brigid and Ryan showed off their own red accents...red bridal shoes! Ryan wore fabulous red sneakers and a red tie, while Brigid floated like a goddess atop custom, red Nicholas Kirkwood heels. Guests had a blast hopping into the Retro Photo Booth to take crazy, fun photos as a reminder of this magical night.






The guests danced the night away, only taking breaks now and again to rest their feet in the chic lounge we created- filled with white leather couches, mirrored tables and plenty of candlelight and flowers to make it even more gorgeous. A roaring fire in the outdoor fireplace finished the look.



The last "pop" of red came in the form of this beautiful cake and cupcake display done by the bride's friends Amanda and Sam from Sweet Spoons Bakery. Beautiful red sugar flowers looked fresh from the garden and the red velvet cake inside? Delicious!!

We thoroughly enjoyed bringing to life all of the zest and uniqueness that this couple exudes. Congratulations, Brigid and Ryan! We wish you as much fun in your life together as your wedding provided to all of your guests!

"Girly Chic" Supper Club

When long time friend and fabulous party hostess, Carrie approached us about doing a Supper Club for a small group of girlfriends, we were thrilled. Carrie had designed an invitation, handed it over and said, "Go!" We drew our inspiration from the color palette- Fuscia, orange, black and white and then threw in "girly" but kept it simple for our modern-minded hostess. 

Guests were greeted at the door with a comfy pair of flip flops to slip into...





The weather cooperated perfectly and simple market lights, pink gelled washes for the walls and candles created a warm and inviting ambiance.



White couches, pillows in pink and orange and accessories in sparkling black really said "Girly", but it wasn't over the top...so, really "Girly Chic" (our hostess' "theme" idea) is probably the right description.





We created simple arrangements of roses with an assymetrical burst of cymbidium orchids to keep the look clean and unique.

This ladies Supper Club has been a yearly tradition for Carrie and some of her friends, and each year a wine tasting element is incorporated into the evening. This year, we designed simple wine charms, wine bottle numbers (so the wines could be voted on later), Wine pairing tags (for those that brought a food and wine pairing), and ballots to vote with at the end of the night.







A beautiful evening was had by all. We were thrilled with the response from all of the guests...and heard things like, "This doesn't even look like your backyard", which means the transformation was a success!



Cheers to the ladies of the 3rd annual Supper Club, and thanks to Carrie for always giving us such great inspiration to run with!!

Fundraising Magic

I'm not sure that anything can beat the backdrop of a day with perfect weather, except the combination of gorgeous weather, beautifully designed ambiance, and good friends and family all mixed together. All of this made for Fundraising magic this weekend! When we put together that the cause was for The USC Norris Cancer Center for Urology and would include wine tasting, we wanted something rich and masculine. When we found this quote, we knew we had the "theme" to pull it all together.



Our palette of dark grays, rich browns, and accents of red and aubergine made for a gorgeous combination. We had our own linens made out of gray tweeds and men's suit fabrics. To give a tailored look we tied the tall cocktail tables with an Aubergine leather belt. Literally bringing fashion to the table! Wine bottles were re-purposed to be candle holders and as evening fell, the candle light gave a beautiful glow.

'



Small bouquets of red roses were punctuated with small paper flowers made from recycled book paper. It was an unexpected, but unique look!











We created cohesion with the paper flowers by creating a dramatic piece designed for the appetizer station- a cluster of wine bottles which held bouquets of willow branches and paper flowers...







Guests enjoyed a selection of wines, explained by the sommeliers from Total Wine and More. We couldn't go without mentioning the wine store, because the customer service was sheer perfection!!



An array of exciting items were presented for a silent auction inside the house and around the grounds...











It was a spectacular event that raised a lot of money for a great cause. For us, it felt great to have an opportunity to do whatever we wanted, design-wise. We considered the event, the focus, and the client and came up with something that was received so nicely and looked so beautiful. We wish the Doctors at USC Norris continued success in their research and treatment programs and give an extra special thank you to the guests who made this event such a success!
