Rosewood Sandhill Wedding- Modern Green & White

This is one of our favorite weddings this year. We got to work again with the great team of Rebecca Reategui Weddings & Special Events for one of our special client's weddings this past June. The look was to be modern and clean but still have a romantic and soft feel. Gold was added to the palette to warm it up and black was added in the reception area to bring a modern art deco look into the ballroom.

Now we wouldn't be able to share this beauty with you without the amazing talent of Larissa Cleveland Photography. The photos are absolutely beautiful and capture the feel of the night perfectly. They really do show off the florals and the beautiful event decor that Rebecca Reategui pulled together for this wedding.

Here are our favorite shots from Larissa: (more photos on our Facebook page)

Exclusive: Pier 48 Spectacular Showcase

Wow, it has been awhile since our last post. We have so many things to tell you about! We have been busy designing for weddings, corporate events and fun networking events like "A Spectacular Showcase at Pier 48" hosted by AT&T Park, Classic Party Rentals and Got Light? The event at Pier 48 last Wednesday night was a great party! We had a fun time seeing our fellow designers work, meeting new people and catching up with friends.

We designed for 3 different sections of the event, French Country, Modern Color and Contemporary Rustic. Here are some shots that we took at the event to share with all of you...we are in no way photographers but we did our best.

 French Country:

Cheerful country arrangements of Icelandic Poppies, Vibernum, Ranunculas, Brazilia Berries, Ladies Mantle and Mini Roses designed in gold mercury glass vases.

A more modern take on French Country with beautiful peach French Tulips, fluffy golden Ranunculas and fresh green Vibernum designed in a footed gold mercury glass vase



Modern Color:

Clean monochromatic arrangements highlighted the tables in this sleek colorful lounge area.
Monochromatic arrangements of blue Hydrangea, yellow Callas with yellow Acacia and fire orange Mini Roses. All were connected together with strips of variegated green flax.
Sleek end table arrangements of deep purple Anenomes and deep purple Lisianthus designed in modern brushed stainless steel vases.


 Contemporary Rustic:

A sculptural centerpiece of sandblasted Grapevine with deep plum Callas, Sterling Roses, Succulents and accented with strands of lime green Bullion wire.
Clusters of gold mercury glass votives surrounded the centerpiece for a touch of warmth and sparkle.
Place settings were accented with deep plum Ranunculas and deep purple Anemones to add a soft texture and a pop of color against the white china.


We hope these inspire you.

Trends: 2013 Color of the Year

Drum roll please......its Emerald Green! The 2013 color of the year is the magical, mysterious and enchanting color of Emerald Green. It evokes the feeling of youthful glamour when you wear it, elegance and status when used in home decor and an enchanting "regal-ness" when used for a wedding or an event's table design.




Here is some inspiration we pulled together that we were drawn to and we hope they inspire you!

Whimsical Retro inspiration board:



 Chic Modern inspiration board:



Emerald Green is great as a textile or container accent for a wedding or event because it is hard to get that real Emerald color in a flower. Try using bright colored flowers like fuchsia orange or yellow to add a fun pop of contrast against a Emerald Green linen or vase. Or if you want to go all out green you can go with Chartreuse green flowers like hydrangea, parrot tulips, viburnum or ranunculas.

Once you start looking at Emerald Green inspirations you will start noticing the color everywhere!

Press: Grace Ormonde Wedding Style

We are so excited to be featured in the new Fall/Winter 2012 issue of Grace Ormonde Wedding Style magazine, the magazine hits stores today. 

 

This table design was really fun for us to get to use some of our favorite types of flowers in unique ways. Joyce from Events of Distinction designed the triangle table layout and set the tone for us at Michael Daigian Design to create designs that were modern and unique. 

 

The photo shoot took place on the upper level of Terra Gallery in San Francisco. The staff there was so amazing and accommodating, they even moved a painting for us from downstairs to our shoot location that matched our table perfectly.If you are unfamiliar with this venue please check out their website and think of them for your next event. We have been to many event's at Terra and designed for weddings that took place there. It is a perfect location if you want a unique open space or a "blank canvas" to create any type of style or look you want for your event.

Roberta from Resource One Inc. took the desired look, shape and feel of the table and created these custom linens and chair covers.
About 250 tall white calla's were used to create this custom floral chandelier. We even designed it took look like it was hanging from a calla stem.

Underneath this large chandelier we covered the mechanics with green galax leaves and you can see that the callas were stacked on top of each other to create the chandelier.

Designing free standing succulent runners took time and patience but we think it was worth it, don't you?
We used succulents, green fuzzy dianthus and milk plant to create this vibrant green and amazingly textured table runner.
We wrapped tall votive holders and the container of the middle low arrangement with a mesh of black crystals to give a subtle touch of bling to the table.
Overhead shot while we are still putting the table design together at Terra Gallery in SF.
Low diamond shaped arrangement of yellow pin cushions, succulents and white phaleanopsis orchids was placed under the large chandelier to balance out the visual weight.
Black and silver footed vases from Accent Decor held clean lined arrangements of tall white callas, yellow pin cushions and succulents.
We accented the tall arrangements with black mesh to add a modern non-floral texture

The table is ready for its close-up now!





Here's a little behind the scenes video clip of the photo shoot!

Thank you to Roberta (Resource One Inc), Joyce (Events of Distinction), Classic Party Rentals, Catherine Hall Photography and Terra Gallery for all your hard work. We had a great time working with everyone on this shoot!

50th Birthday Party

On June 30th we helped to celebrate a 50th birthday that was hosted at the lovely St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco. The arrangements we made for this special day were fun, vibrant, and unique along with bright orange and hot pink flowers! The birthday girl ending up loving the "high drama" arrangements we had designed for her party, and we couldn't agree more with her.


We placed mango calla lilies and orange tulips in a tall modern vase that was filled with glass beads and wrapped with hot pink wire giving it a dramatic effect.


The smaller cocktail arrangements were placed in a sherbet orange terracotta vase filled with hot pink roses and orange dahlias.

The high drama centerpiece we designed for the front entrance was made in a tall cylinder vase that was lined with kumquats, lemons, and glass beads. We used LED lighting at the base of the cylinder to illuminate the beads, and we also strung them amongst the branches creating a unique and modern arrangement.




It's always a pleasure for us when we get the chance to use our creativity and skills in designing something outside the box that has a "wow" impact!
