After Caro and Greg's intimate garden ceremony, held a couple of hours before sunset, the wedding party moved indoors where a romantic, elegant banquet was held.
The evening was filled with warmth and intimacy, decked out in blooms of white and green, dark wood furniture...and a lot of candles!
We used several types of flowers for the evening reception - all white, all romantic and textured. In the top picture, you can see roses and cymbidium orchids. The bride's bouquet comprised of eustoma, roses and phalaenopsis orchids. And in tall glasses filled with water, more cymbidiums!
This tabletop arrangement was a real feast for the eyes. It is actually a counter top that separated the open cooking area from the formal dining area - and it provided for an amazing backdrop for the evening. The wooden candlesticks and hurricane candle holders were the Hotel's, and suited the decor perfectly. It's always such a pleasure to be able to use original decor items from the venue itself.
As this was a small and very intimate and warm dinner reception, we used low table arrangements on guest tables so everyone could see and chat with one another. We don't need guests to keep peeping left and right throughout dinner to speak with someone sitting just across from them!
To keep the cut flowers upright and in their place, we filled the glass vases with OPP plastic pieces. These also look great for texture as they look like little chunks of ice, which also reflect more light off the tealights and mirrors.
Congratulations once again, Caro and Greg!! May your marriage be filled with the laughter, love, warmth and joy that infused your wedding so beautifully. And thank you for sharing your treasured life event with us!
