Linda and Mark

First I want to start by saying the biggest congratulations of them all to Linda and Mark!
Linda from MandL Occasions (http://www.mandloccasions.com/) married Mark on Feb. 21, 2009 at the Coral Ridge Country Club in Ft. Lauderdale, FL (http://www.coralridgecc.com/). They decided to keep things private and intimate with 36 of the closest friends and family members. Linda looked AMAZING in a beautiful and flowing white gown. For her bridal bouquet, she decided on a bouquet of only white cymbidium orchids with pink throats. Mark and his son (and best man) Tommy wore a matching boutonniere of a white dendrobium orchid.

Linda and Mark said "I do" underneath our classic bamboo chupah. This chupah consisted of four chupah legs covered in a light stain bamboo. We completely covered the top with cascading white organza. On the front to corners of the chupah we place a cascading arrangements of white and green flowers such as white phalenopsis orchids, green hanging amaranths, and white dendrobium orchids. Around the base, we placed our white acrylic boxes that also spilled matching green and white flowers. Amber up lights and a stunning sunset were the final touches to illuminate the chupah in that warm and romantic glow.
Linda kept the tables really simple but in fun purple and hot pink colors. We placed a square glass vase filled with vibrant purple gel beads, and the arrangements was a loose hand tied arrangements of hot pink and purple tulips, and roses, purple delphinium and just a touch of purple hydrangeas. On each napkin we place a matching rose and votive candles were the last detail to really make the tables beautiful and simple all at the same time.

Linda and Mark, we all congratulate you and as a personal good friend of mine I couldn't be happier for you both!! Mazel-Tov!

Diana and Richard

Before Diana and Richard were married at the J.W.Mariott in Downtown Miami they began their marriage celebration with a gorgeous hennah party at Jungle Island (http://jungleisland.com/. We decorated their outside pavilion area with custom jewel tone fabric panels that were hung from the trees. We also create a special tent like area that we up lit with hot pink LED lights. We provided all the hennah themed furniture that was placed around the area, as well as the table decor, that alternated between miniature camels, hookah pipes, and middle eastern themed lanterns. We also placed along the table an assortment of dried fruits and nuts. The entire evening was set at the PERFECT temperature (despite the 3 second threat of rain).
Diana and Richard were entertained the entire night with belly dancers, live camels, and great music.


Their wedding day two days later at the J.W. Marriott (http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/miajw-jw-marriott-hotel-miami/), was truly magical and romantic in every way.
Diana looked stunning in a gorgeous gown that matched her petite frame. Her bridal bouquet was designed in our popular Nikki Bouquet design with white cymbidium orchids with pink throats. Richard wore a matching white calla lily boutonniere that was designed slightly different from the other groomsmen. Both bride and groom were glowing, and I must say that I believe that Richard was more nervous than Diana!
The place card arrangement was truly a unique design. We took our new Acrylic Canopy stands and placed it on top of a custom acrylic table. Inside the table, we had an arrangement of boxwood greens decorated with white dendrobium orchids. The canopy top of decorated with assorted strands of crystals and orchid leis. We hung white ribbon and attached the place card envelopes with miniature cloths pins.
For their chupah, we kept a classic yet modern design. The chupah was designed larger than our standard 8'x8' which worked perfectly for the amount of family members that stood underneath with Diana and Richard. White organza covered the structure with a front wall and side wall of only white flowers. Down the aisle, we placed our large birch trees that cascade crystals and white orchid leis. Special red up lights were placed on the chupah and down the aisle. Normally we would use amber, but the red just gave the entire look a modern pop.
For the reception dinner, Diana and Richard kept a very classic arrangement, which include our tall cone shaped vases draped with strands of crystals and a free formed arrangements of only white flowers. Along the base we created "pie-shaped" arrangements that slightly climbed the base of the vases. We also placed an assortment of candles to illuminate the table. The tables were dresses with a beautiful silver overlay that was provided by Over the Top Linens.
Diana, Richard and their entire family were a very special family to Petal Productions, and we would just like to say we only wish the very best for all of them!
