Janice and Desmond's wedding dinner reception at Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur was a picture of romantic, lush elegance.... like the equally elegant bride and groom. Janice was clear about the ambiance and colors she had imagined for the perfect evening reception - a romantic autumn filled with rich, deep hues of reds and maroons, a touch of peach and green. Oh, what lush ideas!
The centerpiece was a sight to behold, especially against a warm, "golden" backdrop that was easily accomplished with fairy lights and white linen. Touches of white from organza ribbons, candles and the elegant wedding cake really brought the whole theme together.
Deep red, maroon and peach-colored roses were the stars of the centerpiece, but it was the dendrobium orchids and Anne Black orchids that gave it the winning edge - we love how the tiny Anne Black orchids trail down and around the centerpiece and provide so much texture. Plump cymbidium orchids were arranged on the table together with Salix branches, lots of deep maroon rose petals, candles and even more Anne Black orchids... So much gorgeousness and texture all around!!
If you thought you saw peaches in the centerpiece - you were absolutely right! Fresh and sweet-smelling, the peaches are the perfect complement for the color palette and to "lighten" up the autumnal ambiance.
The entrance to the ballroom was done up a little bit differently, thanks to Janice's creative input. She did not want the usual flower arch for the doorway. So we created a beam made of branches and decorated with Taiwan ivy and Anne Black orchids. We hung white organza panels from the beam and secured them with posies made from deep red and maroon roses and Anne Black orchids, which were also strung up and put on the organza. We loved the rustic mood of this floral entrance. And lining the walkway of the ballroom - lush floral stands, dripping with Taiwan ivy and organza ribbons, crowned with big, beautiful roses and lots of candlelight. It's like a grown-up version of Midsummer Night's Dream, but in the autumn!
So, friends, readers, and brides-to-be - don't be afraid to use just one color for your event, whatever the color may be. Whatever you choose is bound to make a sure statement. Just remember to trust your floral designer to create the best ambiance for you and be open with him or her when it comes to ideas :)
