2013 Bridal Preview: Spring

Hey everyone!

I'm back today with the Spring design from our Bridal Preview at the Botanical Gardens. It's the most classic of our designs but is still full of gorgeous, sweet details that you're bound to love!

Two beautiful cakes by Meridienne Dessert Salon for our Spring design.

The gorgeous die cut menus on this table might just be my favorite detail from this entire project! Thank you to Shindig Paperie for making these beauties happen for us on such short notice!

2013 Bridal Preview: Winter

Hey Everyone!

Lovely Winter. This design was so much fun to pull together. I love the luxurious layers and the icy hues. It's so serene and beautiful. We started with a taffeta icy blue table linen and covered that with a tufted white velvet table topper. The layered white and silver place settings were completed with a chalkboard style calligraphy menu. And the flowers were stunning in hues of white and silver. Enjoy...

 Lovely isn't it?! I just love this design from top to bottom!

2013 Bridal Preview: Summer

Hey everyone!

I'm back today with images of our fabulously fun Summer design for the Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks 2013 Bridal Preview. Enjoy Cole Fennel's beautiful photos...

I began this design using the hot new neon trend. I knew I wanted to use neon pink and gold and thus the sequins entered into the mix. I LOVE this fun, modern look.

2013 Bridal Preview: Fall

Hey everyone!

I was so honored to be asked to design & coordinate the 2013 Bridal Preview for the Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks and I had a blast with it! I was able to create some new & exciting things and I am so excited to finally have the professional photos to share with you!
First, let's explore Fall...

Fabulous custom designed leather table runners with nail heads set the foundation for this table's design. They're topped by gold chargers and gold rimmed dishware. We had a local shop create menus to affix to our birch strips to add texture to the table. And the wild, imperfect floral arrangement was the perfect centerpiece!

Tammy at Meridienne Dessert Salon created this stunning square cake to compliment the design of our fall table complete with a fruit topper and nail head details!

I had been dying to use these birch strips I found at Tanarah in Little Rock for months! This table was the perfect place for them, and I had these custom menus created using the birch as a backer. Love!

Silk pillows in the colors of our fall table cushioned the mahogany chiavari chairs.

Lovely cocktail table arrangement from Shirley's Flowers was created to compliment the large centerpiece and looks beyond perfect on our leather table runner!

I'm crazy about how this look came together!

I love this fall look for so many reasons! A big thank you goes out to Patricia at Interior Fabrics for not laughing in my face when I asked her to create these custom leather, nail-head accented table runners in just 2 short weeks over Christmas! And to Cole Fennel Photography for capturing our designs beautifully.
