Nicole and Jeremy Wedding

On December 21, 2008, Nicole and Jeremy said theirs vows underneath a one of a kind chupah at the Miami Beach Resort and Spa (http://www.miamibeachresortandspa.com/) This chupah was unique in every way shape in form. The reason you ask? It was extremely special because we were able to suspend the chupah from the ceiling. That's right, the ceiling. The soft white fabric top was decorated with cascading strands of crystals studded with fuchsia dendrobium orchid blooms and phalenopsis orchids. If a picture is worth a million words, then you can see why. Plamen from Domino Art Media Group was really able to capture the glory and uniqueness of the chupah through the lens of his camera.
The ballroom and the rest of the wedding flowed with the same atmosphere during the ceremony. For each table centerpiece, we alternated between hanging manzanita branches covered in matching flowers, and Petal Productions modern white vases spilling with phalenopsis orchids. The hot pink flowers really popped with the white and silver accents. We also design a special area that include a stage covered in white fabric, and long royal table. This area was draped elegantly with white fabric and up light with lights. We also hung chandeliers to make the area a bit more intimate.

Again, thank you to Domino Arts Media Group for the wonderful photos! (http://www.domino-art.com/)




Michelle and Morris Wedding

Michelle and Morris got married to perfect weather at the Diplomat Hotel Resort and Spa (http://www.diplomatresort.com/) on December 21, 2008. They were in excellent hands with Christina (the hotel director) and their day-of-coordinators Martina Comey and Linda Shafter from MandL Occasions (http://www.mandloccasions.com/).

Michelle and Morris kept the color theme in soft shades of white with just a hint of sage and silver accents. The elegance of the colors and this amazing couple really complemented each other. Michelle carried down the aisle a cascading bouquet of snow white peonies, white phalenopsis orchids, white tulips, white roses, and touches of white calla lilies.

Their chupah was that of a fairy tale taking place in a mystical garden. It was a classic round dome chupah draped with rolls and rolls of soft white fabric. Suspended in the center, we hung a brightly lit chandelier. We futher enhanced the chupah with three large floral clusters with cascading ivy. Because it was the first night of Hanukkah, Petal Productions created a custom menorah that was placed underneath the chupah. Up lights were placed for the extra final touch.
The ballroom was magnetic, and still kept in line with the elegance of the white flowers. Each table was dressed with a sage lamour linen with a Noxie overlay in silver. The floral arrangements included our crystal candelabras (yes the are very popular) with a large arrangements of white flowers. Around the base we placed glass vases that tied in the modern touch, for each vase included a single monochromatic arrangement of white flowers. Pin Spot lighting, Up lighting, and Intelligent lighting filled the room in warmth. Michelle, Morris and their guest boogied the night away to the tunes of Greg Denard (http://www.gregdenard.com/)

Heather and Justin Wedding

Heather and Justin were very well taken care of thanks to Martina Comey and Linda Shafter from MandL Occasions (http://www.mandloccasions.com/) as they were married at the Fairmont Turnberry Resort and Spa in Aventura, FL. (http://www.fairmont.com/turnberryisle/). First I must say, that Heathers dress was BEAUTIFUL and truly unique. So it only seemed fit for Petal Productions to create a bouquet as unique as her dress. And we did. Heather's bouquet consisted of a tight round ball of white roses with BLACK tips. (I told you it was unique!) Heather's brides maids also had unique bouquets that were red balls of matching flowers, with a candle strategically placed in the center of the bouquet. And last but not least, even the flower girls had unique written all over their "baskets". Heather's mom provided Petal Productions with black pocket books, and we completely covered the pocket books with red daisies, so that they would match the rest of the bridal party.

The chupah can only be described with one word...WOW. We took our acrylic chupah legs hung from the inside strands of crystals and red orchid droplets. The chupah top was our round dome structure with a halo of beautiful red flowers. We then create a unique chupah backdrop of red orchid leis, red orchid droplets and strands of crystals. The last but not final finishing touch (other than up lights) was the unique table placed inside the chupah. This include a custom made acrylic boxes table, with a box of red roses placed inside. This table just tied the entire look together, and really made the chupah. Again, one word...WOW.

The ballroom continued with the black, white and red theme. We got rid of the same old boring wooden dance floor, and replaced it with a solid black dance floor. The room setup was like nothing I have ever seen before. Two long royal table where placed in front of either sides of the dance floor. These table hosted a beautiful table scape of red floral arrangements in assorted glass vases. Hanging high above, Petal Productions hung black manzantia branches dripping with red orchids and other stunning red flowers. Then, Petal Productions grouped three round tables together to create one large "triplet table". In the center of the "triplet tables" we placed our one of a kind 5 armed tulip stand filled with large and full red floral arrangements. The remaining round tables received a beautiful floral arrangements of red flowers in a low 12" glass dish with black manzanita branches designed within the arrangement. And if you think the element of "unique" stopped there, think again! In front of the dance floor, Petal Productions place a lounge set of black leather furniture so that Heather, Justin and their friends and family could take a break from their dancing shoes and relax on the comfortable furniture, and yet never miss a beat of fun and entertainment.

If there was two words to sum up Heathers wedding, they would 100% without a doubt be (1) Unique (I've only mentioned that specific word half a dozen times) and (2) WOW.

Thank you to Ruben Senderey from Senderey Video Productions (http://www.sendereyvideo.com/) for the amazing wedding recap video. (http://vimeo.com/2707501) And a great big thank you to the crew at Studio 1791 (http://www.studio1791.com/) for the wonderful pictures!

Haleigh Bat-Mitzvah

This Bat-Mitzvah celebration was an amazing night!
Held at the West View Country Club in Miami FL (http://www.westviewcountryclub.com/) , this Broadway Themed party will be one to talk about for years to come.

Haleigh and her friends had their own V.I.P. room that included a custom lit dance floor of fuchsia, turquoise and gold lights. Assorted lounge furniture in those colors there placed around the room, and Corey from Rhythm City Productions kept Haleigh and her friends dancing the night away!

While Haleigh danced in her own V.I.P. room, her parents and their guest danced in the main ballroom where the floral arrangements were AMAZING. I really do believe that we out did ourselves for these floral arrangements. The tables were each dressed with a shimmering turquoise/gold pin tuck table cloth and alternated between a tall clarinet vase exploding with gold manzanita branches intertwined with stunning fuchsia phalenopsis orchids, roses, as well as other flowers in shades of fuchsia. The other tables include gold manzanita branches HANGING from the ceiling, also just dripping with BEAUTIFUL orchids and clusters of flowers.
We kept the Broadway theme by replacing the same old assigned table numbers and replaced them with custom made table signs with assorted Play Bills customized to reflect Haleigh's name.
There were so many other elements that went into making sure that this bat-mitzvah was a complete dream come true that if I blogged every detail, it would go on forever! I've posted some pictures thanks to Patty Daniels from Town and Country Studios (http://www.townandcountrystudios.com/) and was also able to get a recap video of the event thanks to Ruben Senderey from Senderey Video Productions(http://www.sendereyvideo.com/).

Stephanie and Ilan Wedding

Stephanie and Ilan couldn't have better weather on their wedding day. No
joke, it was in the mid to lower 70's through out the day and not a cloud in the sky! Their wedding took place at the Ritz Carlton Hotel Key Biscayne (http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Properties/KeyBiscayne/Default.htm)

Stephanie and Ilan, with the help of their wedding planner Sue Andron from An Affair to Remember, decided on keeping the wedding elegant with the white and soft green color theme. For Stephanie's bridal bouquet, she choose a bouquet of just white stephanotis studded with pearls and crystals (This bouquet might look familiar to many of you. Yes, Jessica Simpson had a similar bouquet when she married Nick Lachey)
Stephanie had a lot of new and different elements that were created for her picture perfect wedding. The chupah that we designed for Stephanie is probably one of my favorite chupahs. This chupah consisted of four iron legs completely covered in wire grass and accented with large white floral nosegays. The top is what really takes my breath away. Our designer are extremely talented, and this chupah goes to show their professionalism. They take the same wire grass, and create assorted loops and circles, and then attach those loops to the arch of the chupah. The top four corners are then decorated with a larger matching floral arrangements. I'm telling you, this chupah amazes me every single time we create it, just due to the fact that the Petal Productions design team is filled with amazing talent. To personalize Stephanie and Ilan's chupah, we suspended the talit in the center, and we also hung another talit in the front. We added a touch of hanging candles, that really put the finishing touch on the chupah.

Stephanie's vision of her ballroom was one of elegance and class, and that's exactly what we gave her. Each table centerpiece included our crystal candelabras with a full floral arrangements of white roses, white hydrangeas, white stock, green roses, green mini hydrangeas, and just a touch of white and green cymbidium orchids. Around the base we kept everything simple by placing three tall pillar candles with matching orchid blooms. The mechitzah was created with our patched spandex wall, where each section alternated with a piece of white spandex material, and three orchid droplets. This mechitzah I believe is truly and work of art, and again it's amazing how the productions team can create all of this with Raffi.

Thank you to Carlos Chattah from Photos by Carlos for the beautiful pictures!

Ilana and Dovi Wedding

Ilana and Dovi were married on November 23, 2008 at the Weston Bonaventure (http://bonaventure.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp)
Ilana choose a variety of shades of purples for her color theme, but decided on white roses studded with crystals for her bridal bouquet. Her brides maids carried down the aisle fuchsia roses mixed with white stock. For her Badeken, Petal Productions created a backdrop of a wall of greens with purple and fuchsia flowers intertwined within the wall. The backdrop was really unbelievable and really made Ilana's badeken very special.

The chupah had to be the tallest chupah I have ever seen. The chupah consisted of our tall arch chupah covered in white fabric, with a front wall of purple flowers, and several large purple floral nosegays cascading with ivy down the chupah legs. Pink up lights really made the chupah pop, and down the aisle we alternated between trees like arches dripping with purple orchids and flowers, and long narrow acrylic boxes filled with matching flowers. I must say, that this is one of my favorite aisle treatments. It is amazing in every color, and there is just something so romantic about the trees, that it matches every chupah.

Ilana and Dovi's ballroom was truly spectacular. The tables alternated between round tables and royal tables. What made this room had to be the custom arrangements that we had designed for the royal tables. This arrangement consisted of two glass vases filled with purple flowers, with two strong acrylic poles coming out, and connecting them a long floral hedge of purple flowers suspending in the center. We combined the table ensemble together be hanging brightly lit candles from the suspended flowers, and along the base we placed cylinder vases filled with water and submerged purple rose petals and a floating candle. This was truly an amazing arrangement.
A special thank you to Carlos Chattah from Photos by Carlos for the pictures!

Kate and Jacob Wedding

Kate and Jacob's wedding could not have been any more romantic with a touch of fall. They said their vows at the Biltmore Hotel (http://www.biltmorehotel.com/) and their ceremony took place outside with the Biltmore Golf Course setting behind them. And I must say that this chupah took my breath away. I've seen plently of willow styled chupah, but this particular chupah was really breath taking, and thanks to the wonderful talent of Mike Myers Photography, you can see why.

Kate really seemed to love the dark fall tones of burgandy, burnt orange and rusty reds. For a wedding in November, with the tempertures at 70 degrees, it could not have been more perfect. We added a special touch to her chupah by adding ghost wood, and it really was the perfect touch. Our design team then decorated the chupah with the fall toned orchids and roses, really intertwing them into the branch to look natural, rather then bunched up and tight. We also took the family talit and suspended in the center of the chupah. Amber up lights was all that was left, and Mazel-Tov!
