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.

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!
