Vendor Profile :: Flour

I met Connie of Flour a few years ago, many of you may remember her from catering the dessert table at Bella Fiori's open house party about a year ago. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of meeting Connie or trying one of her desserts I'd recommend getting to know her. Check out her website: Flour
Here are some photos of her treats at the open house:

Flower Inspirations :: Summer Wedding at Donovan Pavilion

I'm in the mood to look at a bright & cheery summertime wedding, aren't you? After all, most of the country is getting lots of snow or rain. I'm thinking about sunny summer days in Vail, Colorado. Here is a wedding we worked on last July with Table 6 Productions. When I first started working on this post I figured I might just post a few photos of centerpieces. That was until I received the CDs of photos from Jenna of Jenna Walker Photography - I started pouring over the images and loved so many of them. Figured I better post more than I had originally planned. :)
I love how Jenna captured the true colors of the flowers, check it out:
Kristin's bouquet is orange dahlias & callas, purple stock, callas & lisianthus, pink roses & dahlias and green cymbidiums:

I love this photo of the girls walking on the Vail covered bridge:

The cool "escort card" table - unique use of the apples with tags displaying names and table assignments with the candles perfect in the center:

Flower Inspiration :: Centerpiece

Recently Joe from Studio JK came by the studio to shoot the breeze and he ended up shooting some pics of one of my centerpieces :) He was teaching me about lighting, it was really funny to see how he played with cool and warm lighting. Check out what he did with this centerpiece:

ISES Fantasy Table - "La Reve en Rose"

The second fantasy table that I had the pleasure to work on was "La Reve en Rose" with Sapphire Celebrations, CO Party Rental, Chair Covers & Linens, Food Guy and JS Custom Designs.

Pam, Angie and I worked on the design concept for a few months, we knew right away that we wanted to have the sweetheart table nestled inside a structure with a chandelier hanging inside. Next we went with the peach & ivory color palette, knowing we wanted an elevated centerpiece of lush peach & ivory roses with crystals dangling down from the arrangement. Soon we filled the base of the arrangement with smaller arrangements in cut crystal, lots of candles and rose petals.


One of the cute base arrangements:

ISES Fantasy Table - "Petite Patisserie"

Two weeks ago we participated in the annual ISES Wedding Showcase. This year I took on the challenge of working on two fantasy tables & wow, were we busy getting everything ready. This year was different than previous years, typically we would take one table and transform it, this year we were given 15'x15' to fill with our creations.

One of the tables we worked on was "Petite Patisserie" in conjunction with Dramatic Events, Elegant Bakery, Latavola Linen, All Well Rents and Fast Lane Productions.
Our vision was to create a romantic, candlelight shabby chic French Patisserie. Elegant Bakery filled the stands, dishes, platters with delicate little petite fours, truffles, crockenbouche, chocolate dipped strawberry tree, cream puffs, and many other delectable treats. For the flowers I collected vintage hobnail milk glass from antique stores and filled them with peonies, tulips, spray roses, lilac, jasmine, narcissus, nerines, ranunculus and amaryllis.

Here's the finished product:
The entry to our Patisserie - greeted with our lanterns & a sign that tells of all the goodies to be tried:

A lovely display of the treats:

The sweethearts table displaying my gorgeous arrangement, yes, I loved this one! It was huge and designed with lush flowers:

We displayed our fountain (this is available to rent) which was decorated with flowy jasmine down the sides of the lady, the top is filled with tulips, peonies, lilacs and roses. The bottom holds floating candles and petals:

Small arrangements were placed throughout the dessert display:
