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
