25/10 - The Rosewood Crescent Hotel's 25th and Bella Flora's 10th Anniversary

Earlier this winter, we were so honored to partner with The Rosewood Crescent Court Hotel as they celebrated their 25th Anniversary and we completed our 10th year creating beautiful weddings and events.  We knew our partnership would be the making of a joyous and fabulous celebration for all our current and past clients and our oh so "festive" event industry friends!  Thisbe Grace and Mark McWilliams were on hand to capture all the yummy and fun details and America's Sassiest Lifestyle Guru Steve Kemble was also on board as key planner to our beautiful event!  We are so appreciative of everyone's support and hope everyone had a great time!!

....and now on to the photos!

The entry to The Crescent Court's newly renovated Gallery Ballroom was lined with a deep plum carpet and framed with beautiful drapery provided by Fun Factory and Quest Drapery.  The tones went so well with the evening's "Sparkle & Shine" Theme.

Berry toned garlands were draped over existing lanterns creating a cool chandelier effect as guests arrived and uplighting in sweet amethyst tones really set a dramatic tone upon entering the ballroom.

Champagne on hand upon arrival? Sign me up!

As guests exited the elevator, a gorgeous backdrop of floral and crystals in awesome tones of violets, fuchsias, berry and lavender greeted guests with such a sweet fragrance and yummy colors and textures.

The floral wall was a blast to create and took thousands of tulips, hydrangeas, orchids, roses and sweet stock to create.  Here is a quick pic of the wall in the making earlier that day by Lucy Diaz-Flores and Cesar Diaz.

Playful tete a tetes donned beautiful orbs of all violet hydrangeas and sterling roses adding such fun pops of color to both the in and outdoor areas of The Gallery Ballroom.

The Gallery ballroom was decked out with tons of mirrored pieces, crystal accents and an oh so pretty color palette of violets, lavenders and berry. 

After welcomes and introductions, an awesome firework display set the party mood for the night. 

Dj Brandon Olds then got the outdoors pumping with funk beats and pop rhythms.

While Signed, Sealed, Delivered amped up the indoor space with loads of energetic tuneage!

Bella Bride: Kelly Bruney and Scott Hershman

Kelly Bruney and Scott Hershman's big day was anything but spooky when they exchanged vows October 30, 2010 at The Stoneleigh Hotel. This wedding was full of all things we love-- lush floral, a dash of bling and LOTS of pink! Kelly's girly personality shined through with her pink vail, polka dotted cake and unique bouquets. The ever so talented Sallee Photography captured the beautiful day. Check out the gorgeous pictures and the rest of the vendors that made Kelly and Scott's day possible.

This photo captures the essence of their special day perfectly. Ruffles, sparkles, a good lookin' groom,  man's best friend and gorgeous floral-- what else could a girl need?

In lieu of a traditional bouquet, Kelly choose a soft textured orb of all soft pink lush hydrangeas. The pearl accents made for easy carrying and a cute accessory all night!

The bridesmaids were given charming pomander orbs designed with solely soft pink rosettes all attached to black ribbons for easy carrying down the aisle.

The Ballroom at The Stoneleigh was transformed into a romantic setting complete with soft candlelight, white orchids and plenty of sparkle. The mantle served as the perfect backdrop as the couple exchanged "I Dos". Beautiful garlands of white strung orchids cascading from the mantle were accented by a curtain of beautiful sparkling crystal jewels. In addition, on top of the mantle was a mass collection of varying heights of candlelight. At the base stood tall cylindrical vases housing submerged white orchid garlands for a pop of color.

A black runner stretched from the aisle entry to the aisle and created a pristine path for the bride. Beautiful soft pink petals adorned the sides of the runner, adding a great pop of color. Tall glass cylinders created a soft glowing affect with floating candlelight and submerged soft pink floral.

Guests made their way into the Penthouse for the cocktail hour. Great food and interesting floral arrangements awaited them.

The mantle in the music room was adorned with a collection of glowing candlelight in both floating and pillared form. Vanda blooms, fuchsia orchids and unique succulent blossoms were placed within for added color.

The existing niches in the dining room were adorned with blue vases filled with a textural display of fluttery yellow James story. The yellow really shined in the blue room.

This is one of my favorite looks! The unique floral display and rich color really made an impact.

When guests returned to the ballroom for the reception, they were shocked to see the transformation. Beautiful blush ribbon overlays covered the tables, creating a beautiful textural element.

Each of the guest tables were adorned with a gorgeous arrangement designed with soft tones of blushes of pale pinks. A collection of glass stem candleholders accented the base of the tall arrangements creating a soft romantic glow.

The bride's fun cake sat on top a beautiful residential mirrored table to complement the overall decor.

Love this shot!

So perfect! Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Hershman!
