A Trip to Paris: Shayla's French Themed Bat Mitzvah

 Shayla's Bat Mitzvah took place in November and I was so excited to work with her theme. She did a French Paris theme. Everything took place at Beth Israel Synagogue in Vineland, and all the details came together perfectly with the help of Kristin from Bel Momento.

 

The flowers in the sanctuary were kept softer, so we did white and light pink flowers along the half walls and by the altar. We used roses, orchids, hydrangeas, gerbera daisies, and waxflower.

The decor for the first night had a vintage french theme, so we used jewel tones and kept all the flowers super warm and romantic. I used red astilbe, plum orchids, wine anemones, gerbera daisies, deep red Black Bacarra roses, and dark purple sweet peas. We decorated these dress forms with simple mercury glass vessels filled with low bunches of florals.

The second centerpiece style used these sweet trinket boxes, which were perfect to stack or add flowers inside. We added a mercury glass goblet on top of one box, while the other was filled with more flowers.

 

 The room had such a warm and inviting feel.

The theme for the second day was a modern french feel, using hot pink, black, and white. Every table was named after a famous clothing designer.

These dress forms were so pretty! I added fresh flowers into the dress form midsection to create a "belt" of flowers, to add color and make the form look festive. Then we added three white cubes at the base filled with more hot pink flowers.

This was one of the entrance pieces that welcomed Shayla's guests. We hung ivory pearls and hot pink carnation pomanders to gold manzanita branches.

This looked so awesome and so modern.

The white cubes were filled with tulips, roses, mini callas, and gerbera daisies.

 This buffet centerpiece was placed on top of our pure white tall cylinder and was accented with black crystals. We used more hot pink flowers to make the piece pop against the ivory wall.

 These dress forms turned out gorgeous. I'd love to make something like this again! They were so romantic and fun!

I used gerbera daisies, roses, cymbidium orchids, and carnations.

The second centerpiece style used my white candelabras, and we added 15 hot pink roses and placed them where the taper candles would go.

 These really turned out so cool!

But I have to say this is my favorite, although the candelabras are gorgeous too!

 It's so hard to decide which is prettier, such a gorgeous room! LOVED this party!

Mint and Pink: Jennifer and John's Sweet Summer Wedding!

Jennifer's wedding flowers were super romantic and soft. She did a palate of champagne, blush, pink, and ivory. She primarily had roses, lisianthus, champagne Cafe Au Lait dahlias, and ranunculus. Another great part of her wedding was working with Laura from LuRey Photography! I've worked with her many times and she is AMAZING! LOVE LOVE LOVE these photos! Check them out!

The flower girl had a sweet flower wand with all spray roses. We used white and pale pink spray roses that were accented with the clear crystals. I absolutely love making these!

                               

 

I love when brides add special details to their bouquets. Jennifer added this cute 4 leaf clover charm to her bouquet and another one on John's bout.

 

Jennifer also added a charm to make sure her brother was with her during her special day.

These flowers were gorgeous. We used champagne Sahara roses, cream Vendela roses, pink Faith roses, peach Juliet garden roses, white ranunculus, pink lisianthus, and champagne Cafe Au Lait dahlias!

 

The guys wore champagne Sahara roses and John wore white ranunculus blooms.

 

I LOVE this ranunculus bout!

 

LOVE these flowers against the green dresses!

 

 

The flower girl wore an adorable halo with pink lisianthus and white spray roses.

LOVE how this halo and flower wand turned out!

 

The ceremony took place at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Maple Shade.

I had so much fun working with this couple! I love when the puppies are in the wedding! So happy you were thrilled with everything!

                            

Lake Inspired Wedding: Jordan's Moss and Driftwood Wedding at Brigalia's

Jordan's wedding at Brigalia's was so awesome! She had the coolest theme, a lake side duck theme. So we used all things you would find by a lake or pond, moss, ferns, mallard duck feathers, and driftwood! I loved this wedding! I have to say, one of the things I like most about my job is getting to show off the final product. An engaged couple was touring the ballroom while I was walking across the room with an 8 foot piece of driftwood and they looked at me like I had 2 heads. I told them to come back to see it finished because it would be awesome, and it was!

The flower girls had these adorable halos of green antique hydrangeas, seeded eucalyptis, silver brunia, and green trick.

These bouquets were gorgeous!

Jordan's mom had this beautiful wrist corsage of green trick, hydrangeas, and scabiosa pods.

The boutounnieres were so fun! I used white lisianthus, green trick, scabiosa pods, black feathers and fresh moss.

Jordan's bridesmaid's flowers were so full of texture. I used antique hydrangeas, succulents, chocolate cosmos, queen anne's lace, fern, seeded eucalyptis, lisianthus, buplerum, fiddle heads, and brunia.

Jordan's bouquet had a cascade style with loads of textures and all green and white flowers, with a pop of brown chocolate cosmos.

I love these cosmos!

The feather had this brilliant teal blue shimmer to them when the light hit them, just like a mallard duck's feathers.

There are no words, succulents are so beautiful!

The ceremony and reception took place at Brigalia's in Sicklerville, NJ. She had tall reeds for the ceremony and we added some white football mums floating in the fountains outside.

The cake was super simple but the bouquets looked gorgeous around it!

Her centerpieces were so cool!

We used fresh moss, football mums, mason jars filled with green sand and tealights, mixed feathers, and driftwood. This is one of those infamous 8 foot pieces.

It looked amazing, and everyone was so impressed!

Jordan and her husband live in Hawaii where her husband is stationed in the Navy, so each table was named after famous US Navy warships.

I love how she tied the two themes together.

Jordan's gorgeous bouquet!

She was so thrilled! It was great working with you guys and I wish you all the best!
