Andrea loves the beach! So it's definitely not surprising when she picked the Carribean theme for her wedding reception decor. The colors that she picked match very well with the overall theme: hot pink, burnt orange, and light peach. It worked out great!
For her centerpieces, we did two designs: tall ones to emulate the feel of palm trees and short ones using birds of paradise. She loves to have a lot of colors in so that exactly what we did.
For the tall centerpiece we used sword ferns mixed in with ruscus to create that "palm tree" look and we mixed in curly willows, pink anthuriums, orange mokara orchids, green spider/fugi mums, alstroemerias, hypericum berries, and button mums. For the short ones, we used birds of paradise, green spider/fugi mums and alstroemerias. Both vases were filled with a mix of red, orange and clear marbles to bring more colors in. Around the tall centerpieces, we sprinkled a mix of hot pink and orange fresh rose petals. For the short ones, we sprinkled sand around the vases.
We added some fun stuff on her place card table by using a big shell-shaped vase, starfishes, fresh mokara orchid and rose petals, sand and hot pink and orange ribbons. It definitely brought the beach to Belle Voir!
As for her cake...we opted to go for a simple design for the cake itself and poured on fresh rose petals of hot pink and orange colors around the bottom of the cake. I thought it looked stunning how the cake seemed to "float" on the sea of petals! This certainly made it to one of my most favorite works!
And once again we were blessed with a gorgeous August weather for a perfect wedding day! I certainly had a great time working with Andrea, her mom and Michelle, her sister! Thank you for letting me fly with my ideas! ^_^
