Comus Inn

The arrangements for this harvest wedding and reception incorporated everything that Fall has to offer including crab apples, peppers, and wheat bundles.

Comus Inn Exterior Decor

Fresh floral swags with a harvest feel made the first impression on the guests. The composition was made up of protea, wheat, rosemary, roses, lilies, and amaranthus.

Lamp Centerpiece

The large trumpet vases had a spandex lampshades that down lit the roses inside the container.
The centerpieces were used on sponsor tables for a large charity event which had a Cirque theme.

Stretching the Centerpiece to Fit the Budget

Sometimes you can stretch the materials in the centerpiece to make it appear larger. It's also a way to maximize the look within a budget. Yes, it's celery inside the container.

Foyer Arrangement

Cake Accents

Simple Idea

The glass containers for the centerpieces were wrapped with paper that coordinated with the bridesmaid's dress, right down to the ribbon accent. Its a custom look that can be used for any color combination or even patterns.

First Impressions

This was the guests first impression as they entered the foyer to Hollow Creek Golf Club for an Anniversary party. The the tropical theme was accomplished with plenty of palms, ferns, and tropical arrangements. The cabana and ottoman was accesorized with plenty of pillows. It made for a nice photo opportunity.

Autumn Harvest

Fiddlehead

Warm Pink and Peach Tones

Just becuase it's the end of Summer doesn't mean you have to shy away from pinks. Light peach roses play against warm pink roses with a green-taupe edge. The romantic look was completed with antique hydrangea and stock.

Large Rooms

When a facility has very tall ceilings it's a good idea to have tall arrangements on some of the guests tables. It visually breaks up the room.

Chuppah

The chuppah was hand made for the couple out of 4" diameter white birch posts from Maine.

It was simple and elegant without any floral accents.

Pew Clips

Pew clips are one of many small details that add up to a complete look.

Several bouquets presented as centerpieces for a Bridal Tasting at a reception venue.

Individual Cakes

Each guest table had a satellite cake which matched the wedding cake. We were asked to provide a centerpiece that incorporated the cakes in a playful manner. This is what we came up with. The wheat grass base anchored the stem of the "flower".

Ceresville

A couple of arrangements that we provided in an already beautiful setting.

Few Elements

A simple mixture of greens and a few stems for color can make a confident statement. The stems of papyrus and the green roses are unique touches that will draw attention from the guests.

Site Visits are Priceless

One of the services that we offer are free site visits with the client to the venue where the event is being held. This helps to get the most out of the floral arrangements by placing them in some key locations. What better way is there to make suggestions while walking through the space with the customer? In this case, the ceremony was outside in a courtyard at a Bethesda hotel. Once the guests went inside and down elevators to the ballroom, this was the first focal piece the guests would see. The up light complimented the lavender tinted water inside the glass container. The arrangement was then repeated on every other table in the ballroom. The low centerpieces on the other tables were the same elements of hydrangea, roses, callas, and a mixture of greens but without the delphinium.

Perfect Match

I'm a firm believer that a tall centerpiece on every other table breaks up a space visually which is helpful when an event is in a tent. The bride wanted a vintage garden look and the iron candlesticks we had in our inventory fit the occasion perfectly. We only needed to paint them a creamy white. The "drippy" effect of the greens certainly softend the look.
The low arrangements were of the same materials but without the green foxtail. They had their own iron garden containers that coordinated with tall pieces. The guests were able to take home the centerpieces because they were designed in their bowls or on plates.
Renting containers from the person who is supplying the florals is an economical way to bumb up the look of a wedding.
