a mockup for a wedding at the london hotel, west hollywood

this is a table mockup we did for today's wedding, taking place at the london hotel in west hollywood...the linens and chiavari chairs are going to be white and we have custom made all the gray and white "chain link" runners...

each table will have a combination of white ceramic pieces filled with white, eggplant, plum and gray theme flowers...so pretty for fall but also inspiring for a winter celebration!

i have to give it up to mr. haack, who took all the gorgeous photos, including the 2 below of my favorite girl in life - thank you ryan!!

to the ladies of details, details - see you soon!

a modern green and white wedding - shade hotel, manhattan beach

erin and morgan were, without a doubt, one of the sweetest, warmest, most easy going couples i have ever worked with...and just soooooo obviously in love...even though their wedding was last summer, i love how crisp,fresh and modern it looks compared to what's going on in a lot of wedding design right now...a good change of pace!

style file: modern, clean, sleek, soft, fresh

color scheme: white, gray, green

elements: glass vessels, soft sheer fabric draping, white lounge furniture, green throw pillows, monobotanical floral arrangements

flowers: succulents, hydrangea, orchids, mini calas, tulips, brazilia berries, protea

each bridesmaid carried a bouquet composed entirely of one type of green theme flower so all were different from one to the next...

and that flower girl? SERIOUSLY?!?! cutest thing ever...

bouquets of rustic green hydrangea and fuzzy succulents...

another succulent bouquet...the flower girl even got to carry her own bouquet of white mini calas...

erin's bouquet was made up of all white japhette orchids and green succulents for a modern beach feel...

we created a simple gray and white canopy structure for the couple to stand under as they exchanged vows...the bases were filled with fluffy white hydrangea and green orchids...

orchids were strung on fishing line and hung from the back of the canopy to add visual interest...

simple glass vases filled with green and white florals were used to accent the aisle and the hotel lobby...

we swagged sheer white fabric panels across the courtyard to soften the space and give it a romantic feel without looking closed off...

sheer happiness...

how gorgeous is this couple?!

while guests cocktailed in the hotel lobby and terrace, we flipped the ceremony space and gave it a lounge feel...no formal sit-down tables for 10...just a cool, hip party where guests could flow freely...

we brought in white lounge furniture, gray linens and green throw pillows...

the tables had a variety of glass vases filled with monobotanical white and green florals...just crisp, fresh and calming to the eye!

we set the cake on my acrylic base and filled the base with white crushed glass and orchids...

as the night wore on, the amber lighting kicked in and really set the mood for a sexy party!

and how stunning is this bride?!

soft, feminine bouquet of all blush garden roses...

the rooftop ceremony was kept super simple (just a lush aisle of cream petals) so guests could take in the views of LA...you could see all the way to downtown that day!

the event planner, carolyn chen, went with 2 large rectangular tables with white linens and gold chiavari chairs...we brought in the lace runners to add texture to the tables...

florals were monobotanical arrangements set in glass vases...

every so often we used blush garden roses in cut crystal vases to add a touch of color...

we wrapped every napkin in a black pleated ribbon and added a gold filigree brooch to each one to tie in with the gold chairs...

how amazing is the tent at the london hotel by the way? with the specialty lighting it really created an awesome atmosphere!
