ART OF THE TABLE

"A DAY IN PARIS"

The "Art of the Table" event was held at the Indianapolis Art Museum this past weekend. I was honored to be asked to create the centerpiece for Pam Monahan's table.

Pam is the owner of, Entertaining with a Flair, a boutique party rental and decorating firm, in Indianapolis. Pam's theme was "A Day in Paris." Girlfriends flying to Paris in search of the perfect dress. Pam is a very creative and talented event designer. I was impressed with her attention to every detail of the table decor.

My design was to give the feeling of a lunch cafe in Paris. I used a tall trumpet vase with an etched design that matched the details of Pam's favor boxes and the shape of her glasses. The vase was filled with fringed pink tulips that really gave a feeling of simple elegance. I also wanted to bring a fun girly element to the design and came up with the idea of filling purses with flowers as accent pieces. Pam loved the idea, and she found these great purses that I filled with a mixture of green and pink roses to bring out the colors on the table. I also used anemones, one of my favorite flowers, which really tied in the black and white detail of the table.

Thanks again, Pam! It was truly an honor to work with you. Visit Pam's website at http://www.entertainingwithaflair.com/ .

JOHN + KRISTIN

We have two of these topiaries that can be rented from us. We can add some of your flowers to personalize them to your wedding.





























Calla Lilies can start to droop and bruise easily by the end of night; therefore, we decided to use silk calla lilies and added fresh lily grass and hydrangeas. When you mix fresh and silk flowers, a lot of time you can't even tell you have silk flowers in the arrangement. I also still have these calla lilies that could be rented from me for a lot less than real calla lilies.









Kristin played a fun little trick with her toss bouquet. There were actually three separate ones that went flying to all the single ladies :)

JORDAN + ALANEA

These are some pictures from Alanea and Jordan's wedding that was on Valentine's day. I absolutely loved working with Alanea and her family! We created a monochromatic design using different shades of pink ranunculus and roses.

Alanea and Jordan got married in front of this water fountain. I was able to find these vases which looked great tipped over to give the feeling that the flowers were being poured into the water. I love to get inspired by your church/reception site. I always try to incorporate the scenery into your flowers.

I also like to be practical and save you money when I can. My favorite way to do this is to try to use as many arrangements as we can at both the ceremony and reception sites. We used the large silver vase arrangement at both sites. We also used all of the aisle decorations on the head table as well.

I wasn't able to get any pictures of the bouquets, which I loved! I'll post them later when I can get them from the photographer.

Thank you, Alanea and Jordan, for allowing me to be apart of your special day!
