Bella Bride: Lindsey Heim & Vincent Ip

 Another wonderful June wedding!  Lindsey Heim wed Vincent Ip on June 5, 2010 with a classic and traditional ceremony at Highland Park Presbyterian Church and a modern styled fete after at The W Hotel.   Images are courtesy of the super talented team at Shaun Menary Photography.

 Lindsey chose a very popular color palette of ivory, fresh greens and navy.  Such a clean and fresh look!

The bridesmaids wore navy toned gowns and carried these sweet bouquets of hydrangeas, roses and specks of lambs ear and verdant green hypericum berries.

I love that Lindsey gave the mothers charming peony nosegays in lieu of wristlets or pin on corsages.

On to the party!

Lindsey chose a completely non traditional look for her reception at The W Hotel.   In fact, not one of her tall designs were identical.  Each one was custom designed to be an artistic floral creation in fresh greens and clean white.  We used a combination of fluttery white phaelonopsis orchids, white and green hydrangeas, Casablanca lilies, peonies, bells of Ireland and snowball viburnum.

I love Lindsey's braided accent in her hair....and that her crowd could really party!

Sweet cake ~ love its simple styling.

Congratulations Lindsey & Vincent!  You were a joy to work with and we wish you the very best!

Just In Time For Spring: Chic Color Combo Pink & Green!

With spring right around the corner, pink and green is a perfect color combination to make a wedding more… Preppy? Natural? Romantic? Whichever way you want to go with your wedding! There are a variety of ways to utilize the pink and green chic color combo!

1. FRESH & FUN




When you’re going for a modern look, it seems you can really let your creativity flow. Preppy stripes, fresh fruit, a ring bearer’s pillow made of green flowers, and bold flowers you wouldn’t expect in a bride’s bouquet.

2. NATURAL & PURE



Green floral, leaves, grass, and even moss is a growing trend in wedding decor that lets you showcase natural beauty in its most pure form. Using accents of pink is a surprising way to really let the color stand out.

3. ROMANTIC & SOPHISTICATED





Pink is a common color for those wanting a traditional, romantic wedding and is usually paired with champagne, white, or another soft color – but don’t be scared to add a completely different shade! Green is a perfect combo and won’t take away from the sophisticated look of your day. It adds dimension to your floral arrangements and creates an aesthetic view.

Stay posted for more chic color combos!

Happy Planning!

Bella Bride: Caroline & Will's Rehearsal Dinner

A classic rehearsal dinner filled with soothing colors of ivory, green, eggplant, and chocolate was created for Caroline Santos and Will Richardson in February. The couple selected The Crescent Club at Rosewood Crescent Hotel which displayed an extraordinary vision to start their wedding weekend.








A stunning head table was composed of a low lying and tall floral displayed in chic glass vessels. Charming tulips, lush hydrangeas, garden roses, sweet stocks, and beautiful orchids created a gorgeous palette of color. The table had a warm candlelit glow from votives and pillar candles which complemented the champagne linens beautifully.





The tables were adorned with a spectacular collection of glass vases filled with an enchanting blend of green, eggplant, and ivory toned floral. The selection included fanciful parrot tulips, peonies, hydrangeas, roses, hyacinths, and exotic orchids. An accent of soft gold linens and votive candles completed the tables.




For a dramatic addition to the decor, every table was covered with a soft candlelit hue which contrasted brilliantly with the soft warm glow of the room.

Bella Bride: Heather & Derek

Kilts, bagpipes, and plaid? Heather & Derek embraced their Scottish roots in a traditional ceremony but kept the design modern and light with varying shades of purple, soft lavender, and fresh spring greens.






The Wedding Party outside The Dallas Petroleum Club



The bride’s bouquet consisted of orchids, fluttering hydrangea, sculpted calla lilies and a hint of heather, based on Scottish tradition.


Each bridesmaid wore a unique dress – different in lengths and styles!


A unique boutonniere designed with mini heather strands and a light collaring of thistle toned blooms.





Voluminous hydrangea, textured blossoms, seasonal orchid blooms, and even moss helped to keep the “natural” aesthetic consistent throughout the lobby.



A graceful swagging of light toned lavender sheer over the ceiling of the Sky Lobby created an eye-catching display. Strands of light also gave it an added touch for a starry and romantic glow.
