Parties and Events

After the wedding season comes to a close at the end of September, the parties and special events heat up! And in November, the holiday season goes into full swing, so we’ll be busy until the New Year.

Here  Joyce is working on a party for the Mexican Consulate held at Hillcrest Country Club. To coordinate with the colors of the Mexican flag, we designed large pave style centerpieces with red ‘Charlene’ and ‘Freedom’ Ecuadorian roses in leaf lined cylinders accented with Green Ti leafs.

For Cedars Sinai Hospital, we recently designed Tuscan themed centerpieces at an event at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills. We used grapes, dahlias, orchids, roses and pomegranates  designed in bronze urns to showcase an abundant fall palette.

All kinds of fruit are wonderful additions to floral centerpieces, especially to enhance events that center around a food theme.

Another great recent event was for a wedding rehearsal dinner. To personalize the centerpieces, the groom’s mother wanted to include photos of the couple, along with flowers and candles.

For a fun and modern design, we used hot pink roses cut short in different sized square containers along with photos inside glass cylinders.  Every table had a different set of photos, so all the guests saw something original!

Fall Flowers

As the weather cools and fall begins to move in, the florals we use for parties inevitably change with the season!

Although there are still plenty of dahlias available in a myriad of colors, we are using alot of the oranges and burgundies, along with darker accents and pops of bright color for drama.

For a gentlemen’s luncheon, we designed a long table with varying sized arrangements repeating down the center on a striped runner. For a masculine touch, we used dried Lotus pods and Berzilia berry with the dahlias and orchids. Brown Sedum and antique hydrangea completed the look.

Mountain Gate Wedding

Day and Tony celebrated their wedding at the beautiful outdoor venue of Mountain Gate Country Club. The bride chose an elegant palette of crisp white, raspberry pinks and celedon greens which perfectly complemented the natural setting.

Day preferred a very tailored, contemporary look, so we designed an unusual squared arch with a clean fabric and floral treatment.

The head table treatment included varying height vases with rosepetals and votive candles placed between for an interesting visual dynamic.

In keeping with the clean, modern look, we arranged a tight path of petals on either side of the processional aisle, along with small clusters of roses and hydrangeas at every other chair. The back of the aisle is an important area that should always have some kind of decor, in this case a large glass vase filled with sea glass, hydrangeas, dahlias and calla lilies.

Day and Tony’s five tiered cake was adorned with pink and green cymbidium orchids; the tabletop had petals and votive candles for the finishing touch!
