Loren and David

Loren and her family were one of the kindest and sweetest families that I have personally ever met, so it was an absolute honor to be able to be part of Loren and David's wedding October 24, 2009 at the Jungle Island.


Loren and David had such a beautiful wedding with so many unique elements that it would literally take days (and perhaps this whole blog!) to describe them all in detail. So let's first begin with the personal flowers. Loren wore a beautiful wedding dress with detailed lace, so it only seemed perfect for her to carry down the aisle a beautiful bouquet of soft blush roses and white roses hand tied with matching ribbon and details with pearls. David wore a coordinating boutonniere that include a single white rose with wire grass detailing. The bride's maids carried down the aisle a unique shade of pink calla lilies, and the groomsmen wore coordinating boutonnieres.


The ceremony was completely one of a kind. The entire ballroom was draped in white fabric and soft pink lighting. Down the aisle, we carefully placed an assortment of cylinder glass vases filled with waters and matching submerged flowers topped with brightly lit candles, that illuminate the aisle in that warm romantic glow that so many of us dream about. Arches also decorated the aisle, covered in assorted fichus greens and clusters of matching flowers in shades of soft pink and white. Up lights were also placed to highlight the arches. Now for the chupah: OMG WOW! Our design team took our classic 8x8 round dome chupah covered in greens and put it on steroids. The chupah legs where first covered in greens, and then completely covered in white and soft pink roses and hydrangeas and further accented with white curly willow branches to give the chupah a free form and natural feel. The top consisted of a canopy of white willow branches also decorated and further enhanced with matching white and pink flowers.

The ballroom, again: OMG WOW! The tables alternated between three different floral centerpieces. The first design was three tall cylinder vases grouped together with a single orchid droplet placed inside all three, and then topped with a full round arrangement of white and soft blush flowers. Around the base, we will place an assortment of brightly candles. For the second design, we took our clarinet stands, filled them with water a coordinating orchid, and topped those with a matching full arrangement of white and soft pink flowers. Also around the base we placed an assortment of brightly lit candles. The final (and certainly not least!) design was Petal Productions HP stands in gold. These stands included our almost 6 foot tall stands with several large ball like clusters placed on each arm of the stand, with the largest arrangement sitting at the very top. Further decorating the stand, we draped strands of crystals, and brightly lit hanging candles. Around the base, we created a matching base arrangement, and also placed clusters of brightly lit candles.

My favorite part of Loren and David's wedding was their beloved candy bar. For the candy bar, I personally made sure that all the candies were in shades of white and soft pink. I even was able to order them customized MnM's with their names and wedding date printed on them!

There are so many more details, but in the meantime here's a sneak into their wedding thanks to Ruben from Senderey Video Productions (www.sendereyvideo.com): http://vimeo.com/7260607

Andrew and Yaimet

On October 11, 2009, our personal and very dear friends Andrew and Yaimet tied the knot at the Diplomat Hotel. Petal Productions was honored to attend the wedding, as well as aid Andrew and Yaimet in creating their wedding decor.

For the ceremony, Petal Productions created our unique PJ ceremony tent which was softly created with flowing white fabric and a large floral arrangement. We set the structure outside facing the ocean, and you couldn't have asked for better weather in October. Yaimet carried down the aisle a beautiful bouquet of snow white calla lilies, while Andrew wore a matching boutonniere.

For the table centerpieces, Andrew and Yaimet kept it very elegant and simple, with three tall cylinder glass vases filled with water with a long and full stem of white cymbidium orchids with pink throats, topped with a brightly lit floating candle. Private Stock (http://www.privatestockband.com/) kept everyone on their feet through out the evening with great music, and as you can see from the wedding video recap

thanks to Ruben from Senderey Video Productions http://www.sendereyvideo.com/) the wedding celebration was a success. Here's the link for all to see: http://vimeo.com/7051778

Again, the biggest and warmest of congratulations to Andrew and Yaimet, and we cannot wait to celebrate so many more memories together! We love you!

Katie and Brian

After almost a wonderful year of planning with Petal Productions staff, Katie and Brian were married on October 11, 2009 at the Boca Raton Resort (http://www.bocaresort.com/). Katie wore a beautiful dress, and carried down the aisle a bouquet of soft baby pink roses with a touch of stephanotis studded with pearls, while Brian wore a boutonniere of matching stephanotis. The girls in the bridal party carried down a beautiful bouquet of purple vanda orchids looped with touches of wire grass and wrapped with coordinating ribbon.

For the ceremony, Katie and Brian said their "I do's" underneath Petal Productions classic 8x8 round dome shaped chupah that was covered in assorted greens, and further covered with beautiful lush hot pink and purple flowers. These flowers included hot pink roses, hot pink hydrangeas, lavender stock, and magenta toned phalenopsis orchids that cascading gently from the top of the chupah. The inside section of the chupah top was draped with an off-white fabric, and amber up lights where placed to illuminate the back wall of white fabric, as well of the chupah. Down the aisle, we coordinated the the aisle with single tier stands completely covered and connect with white organza, and matching nosegays that were created with the same floral and color theme as the chupah.

For the ballroom, Petal Productions decorated the table with a stunning centerpiece that included the tables alternating between our tall clarinet vases draped with four strands of crystals, and lower floral arrangements. For the clarinet vases, we placed on top each vase stunning free formed arrangement of hot pink and lavender flowers. Around the base of each table centerpiece we will placed an assortment of smaller cylinder vases filled with water, hot pink and purple rose petals, and brightly lit floating candles. The lower floral arrangements were designed inside a low glass vase with matching flowers in the same floral and color theme as the rest of the wedding reception dinner. For Katie and Brian's sweet heart table, we create a matching and coordinating table arrangement that cascaded onto the front of the table. Other items that we included for their wedding consisted of special up lighting that illuminate the ballroom, as well as draping the back wall to their hired band and illuminate that back wall of fabric with matching lights.
