Inspiration Brought To Life!!

I thought I was going to back in full blog swing but my schedule told me otherwise. None the less I didn’t want to leave my readers hanging so here is an update on what’s going on in the Couture Events by D world.

As I mentioned in my previous post, my mega wedding is approaching fast. Last weekend we had our design session. This is when the couple gets to see a mock up of the design for their wedding day. The décor for this wedding is Caribbean Elegance. The bride has a traditional style but I wanted to infuse some modern aspects as well as a Caribbean look. I thought this would be perfect for them because both are from the Caribbean and the bride wants to use the names of town from their home lands instead of table numbers.

Since there are so many tables we decided to have low and high centerpieces to help cut some of the cost. Here are some pictures, I hope everyone likes them as much as the bride did. There will be some slight changes but hey that’s why we have mock ups.

Bridal Bouquets That Sparkle

Adding a little extra something to the bride’s bouquet is a trend that may never go out of style. That extra sparkle brings a little luxury in a big way. You can mix in with your flowers or place it on the stems. You can personalize it with your initials or a favorite broach. Here's some bling inspiration!

Inspiration Brought To Life!!

Taking a bride’s vision and bringing it to life is my job as a wedding planner and designer. Currently I’m working with a bride and mother of the bride with two different visions for the wedding décor. The bride loves color with a contemporary style and her mother has a more traditional and classic style. To accommodate both bride and MOH we came up with a compromise. I combined the bride’s love of peonies and color and the MOH classic style and love of roses and created this beautiful and colorful centerpiece all while keeping with the bride’s color scheme of green and shades of pink. Tell me what you think!!

This center piece has green hydrangeas, pink peonies and pink roses. The final version will be sitting on a 20" high clear stand that will be filled with pink colored water to add more color for the bride. Each table will have pink and green votive candles with rose petals. I'm so excited and I can't wait for the wedding day to see it all come together. Stay tuned for the wedding day pictures of all the floral designs.

Stylish Boutonniers

A small yet important part of your floral selection is the boutonnieres. Your choice of boutonnieres should complement your floral selection. The colors should be cohesive and your flower of choice should be the same as your bouquets. This small detail shouldn’t be over looked because like all the other details, they will be a part of your pictures. The groom's boutonniers should be different and special from the rest of the bridal party. Your bestman and your groomsmen's boutonnniers should complement your bridemaid's boutquets. Also if you are having boutonniers for the special family members and they should complement but not match the bridal party. You want them to be different from your bridal party to so they can stand out. Consider stepping it up by choosing a unique design for your boutonnieres. Here are some chic and modern choices to consider before you choose the usual boutonnieres.

Sunflower Power Inspiration Board

I was recently contacted by a bride who was having a sunflower wedding. She said she was a sunflower/hippy child!! I must admit, sunflowers are not my first choice but ever since that conversation I've been thinking of sunflowers. I guess the challenge of stepping out my box inspired me to create this sunflower inspiration board.

Sunflowers are in season from mid-spring to late summer and it an inexpensive flower. You can mix them with other blooms or let them stand alone. Sunflowers make a statement of summer, fresh and fun!

I Heart Hydrangeas!!

One of my favorite flowers is the hydrangea. Even as a child, I loved to see them in my neighbor’s garden. They are so simple yet so elegant and they make a huge impact with just one stem. Hydrangeas are in bloom during spring and early summer. They come in white, shades of pink, blue, green and burgundy. A great way to use the hydrangea is your centerpieces. A simple arrangment of all hydrangeas or a mix with other flowers will be the perfect addition to your table scape. Also you don't need a lot to do a lot. Four hydrangea stems can make a complete centerpiece. Here is some hydrangea inspiration!!
