Grace Ormonde Wedding Style Magazine Tabletop! 2010-01-29

I was so excited to be invited to create a tabletop design with two of the most talented people and such good friends: Camilla Svensson Burns, the amazingly creative florist behind www.camillaflowers.com, and Youngsong Martin, owner of www.wildflowerlinens.com. We went to the beautiful St. Regis in San Francisco www.stregis.com and spent the day designing tabletops to hopefully be selected to go into the 2010 Winter issue of Grace Ormonde's Wedding Style magazine. Well, our creative efforts paid off and I am attaching the photo (the one on the left is our table) from the publication. Our design was meant to fit the space of the St. Regis...modern, clean, contemporary design with an Asian influence. We used a combination of animal print and solid linens with a touch of whimsy in the chair flower sashes, the modern square and round place settings and ruby red glasses were from Classic Party Rental's Unique Tabletop collection www.classicpartyrentals.com, the chairs were from Chameleon Chairs www.chameleonchair.com and the highback sofa and end table from www.blueprintstudiocollection.com. Camilla of course designed the floral as well as the beautiful lamp on the side table to give the setting a loungy feel. Add a few of these tables in to your rounds or feasting tables in your wedding layout and you will create an environment that makes guests feel they have entered a stylish modern home! The rest of the tabletops in the issue are also amazing, so pick up an issue if you'd like to see more.

Dramatic, Romantic Bacara Resort 2010-01-15




One of my favorite weddings of 2009 was this intimate 50 person wedding at Bacara Resort http://www.bacararesort.com/ between Heather and Chad. I absolutely love it when a wedding becomes an absolute reflection of the couple. This is a clear example of exactly that! Heather had such a unique, clear vision of what she wanted...dramatic, artistic, darkly romantic, theatrical, mystical forest feeling. With the help of Nico Designs http://www.nicosb.com/, we created exactly that for her. Heather is an artist actually and comes from a family of artists as well. She designed her own invitations, her sister designed the amazing necklace she is wearing (loved the skull and cross bones going down her back!) and her mother is an artist that designed the centerpeices at the rehearsal dinner. It's no wonder there was such creative design to this special weekend.
And Joy Marie's photos ww.joymariephoto.com captured it all in the very same way. I love them! Hair and makeup was by the ever-amazing Cathryn Van Breene http://www.cvbmakeup.com/. Cathryn is so great at capturing this sort of Old-Hollywood, glamorous style...Heather was stunning!
One of my favorite moments was when Heather (the bride) came to the rehearsal dinner venue with me, Birnam Wood Country Club in Montecito, to help me decorate the table. Here it was the night before her big day, the moment when many brides start to really get nervous and families and friends begin to come in and take up your time, and her mom was home napping (which meant she really was not stressing at all, which is Wonderful for a mother of the bride at this point!) and Heather decided she wanted to come and spend time helping me set up. We had such a nice time together..just the two of us! And she used to be a florist...so that Really helped! Thanks for having me be a part of such a wonderful wedding weekend!
