Artistic Butterfly Themed Wedding at Villa Antonia

During our initial consultation, Elena asked us to design something vibrant, playful, artistic, elegant and definitely not too stuffy for her wedding, and above all, she wanted butterflies! Her colors, deep purple, tangerine, teal.

We designed with a clean and modern approach using hefty lengths of locally grown bamboo for the altar arrangements.





We added a dash of daring by tinting the bamboo purple and then added spheres of purple and tangerine carnations which appeared to be growing right on the bamboo, and we topped it off with purple dendrobium orchid fountains and playful monarch butterflies. The aisle was flanked by rivers of pave-style purple and tangerine carnations.


Elena's table centerpieces repeated the balancing sphere and bamboo elements, and monarchs butterflies made their appearance.

The bridal bouquet featured plum callas, with a fashionable and airy cascade formed by lily grass onto which we threaded stephanotis blooms, and of course, a monarch butterfly accent.

Platinum Event at The Hyatt Lost Pines


Social event of the season??? There was excited buzz for days about the beauty, size and delightful smells of flowers coming from our workroom provided courtesy of the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines as we set up this over the top platinum event.


Here are just a few photos from our setup cam in prep for Haley and Collen's wedding.

The theme we helped develop for Haley: southern romance. To achieve this look, we used thousands of roses, hydrangeas, lilies, canterbury bells, snapdragons and orchids. The 41 tables were decked out in one of four different looks ranging from low to extra tall, and all had a dripping crystal element and were twinkling in candlelight.

We custom designed the jumbo candelabras for this event. Once assembled, these beauties were almost 6 feet tall and the bloom area was about 3 feet wide. Big ballrooms call for big ideas! Sparkly all crystal dandelabras, just dripping in crystals covered a portion of the tables, and
the 'mid-level' tables must have been straining under the weight of their centerpieces... a fine crystal vase held casually arranged blooms of southern charm and were perched upon an enormous thick 'puddle' of blooms which spanned about 30" across the guest tables.










The altar: columns taller than the bride I believe. (Haley is a BEAUTIFUL petite young lady.)
These enormous pedestals are about 5 feet tall and supported massive (about another 3 feet in height or more) artful altar arrangements atop which flowed to form an arch of sorts.






A little art for the aisle. Haley loves bright colors and I believe we delivered!













A garden statue cherub oversees the escort card table. (The calligraphy on these cards was outstanding!) This custom-designed escort card table showpiece contained white and red hydrangeas imported from Holland, high and magic roses, and hot pink and orange carnations, arranged pave style.
