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.
