Incredible All White Modern Tent Wedding At Arlington Estate

March 28, 2022March 28, 2022 by Rachel

If there is any good thing that comes from postponing your wedding due to pandemic restrictions, it just might be that you have more time to dream up beautiful ideas. Julia and Giancarlos’ incredible show stopper wedding was the outcome of having a little more time to come up with incredible ideas. It also might mean that your indoor wedding plans just changed to a tented affair. But who doesn’t love a tent wedding so, yes we were in for it. Three times a charm, and the after scaling down from 400 to just 50 guests, the most stunning and intimate day came to be for our beautiful couple. In a short window of opportunity, and working closely with the amazing wedding planner, Michelle from Sincerely Yours Events, Julia’s dream modern white tent wedding came to life in record time. I’m always excited about the opportunity to design a new concept for a ceremony aisle so can we just talk about those 12 foot modern arches that supported gorgeous flower boxes? We worked closely with the this stunning couple and their families to create a unique and unforgettable ceremony space. Our in house fabrication team built these incredible structures to support thousands of white roses. Probably though the most spectacular design element was the thousands of roses suspended in the reception tent. Our gang design hung flower for 4 days straight! The sophisticated all white floral palette was filled with white peonies and roses blocked together in white containers. Tone on tone was taken to new levels and Julias dream wedding came to life. A full list of vendors at the bottom of post. Congratulations Gian Carlo and Julia! Thankyou for trusting us with your special day.

Lake Como Inspired Tent Wedding At Aga Khan Museum

March 11, 2022March 10, 2022 by Rachel

I’m so excited to share Cassandra and Marc’s stunning wedding at Aga Khan, inspired by the gorgeous Italian country side and Lake Como regions. Despite pandemic restrictions, delays and postponements and an original plan to marry in Italy, our beautiful couple couldn’t have had a more perfect day. No stranger to high style and Italian influence, Cassandra, a fashion and life style blogger, wanted these beautiful nuances to set the tone for their special celebration and we were so happy and excited to to bring her vision to life! Despite this incredible event being planned and executed in record time, like literally within a few weeks, working with wedding planner Michelle from Sincerely Yours Events, made this collaboration with our team an incredible experience. Now can we just talk about the flowers and decor, because, I mean.. like woah! Our creative team designed and built a magnificent, life size tree with fresh branches foraged from our farm. Other stunning floral features included, a blossom tree lined entrance way to the reception tent. Lots of praying that day for no rain, because we couldn’t wait to slide the tent top panels off for a truly alfresco dining experience for the reception. The stars aligned and the magic happened! Marc and Cassandra and the lucky guests, dined and danced the night away under the stars! For a full list of vendors please see bottom of post.

Designer Bridal Shower At Graydon Hall

March 7, 2022March 7, 2022 by Rachel

Spring is almost here ladies, and there is nothing like a gorgeous out door bridal shower at Graydon Hall to get you inspired. Oh this is a pretty one, but then again, lets consider, the beautiful bride-to-be herself, is no stranger to high style and all things beautiful. Cassandra, along with her two sisters, Nadia and Aly, have curated their own fashion and life style blog called ‘3 Girls and Our Closet’, so the ‘designer’ theme is just so fitting. Ok, lets talk colour, because if you follow along, you know, I love working with colour and I’m obsessed with this pretty palette. I mean who doesn’t love pink for a bridal shower? But what makes this so stylish is the dust-ness of the pink and the accents of black. I think we nailed the look with soft dusty roses and chic black accents like modern black urns. So sophisticated and feminine don’t you think? Finishing details included coordinated place settings and the most beautiful day of stationery pieces including custom menus, and of course designer give away bags. Always thankful to work and collaborate with our friends at Sincerely Yours Events because amazing event planning is key!
