Detail Shots ~ Garden of the Gods Club

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Daniel and Carol were recently married at Garden of the Gods Club.  They had a beautiful morning ceremony next to the reflection pool followed by a lunch on the Sunrise Terrace.  Their colors were purple, ivory and silver, and their wedding favors were silver dipped aspen leafs.  Wendy at Blue Fox Photography took these photographs, and Jean-Marie Designs created the flowers.

Venue Spotlight ~ Fine Arts Center

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

I just returned from the FAC wedding vendor open house and wanted to mention how fabulous this venue is for a wedding or event.  From the spectacular glass corridor and outdoor courtyard to the jazz-inspired Deco Lounge, the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center creates the ideal setting for an upscale, modern  and exceptional gathering.  Access to the galleries can be included with your event.  I also want to mention that the magnificent centerpieces shown in the photo were created by Rich Designs.

Cake Trends 2009

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

Here are a couple of trends in wedding cakes right now…

Slender cakes – they make a statement and are an architectural focal point at the wedding.

Cakes as centerpieces - they’re both beautiful and fun for the guests.  Have your baker make each cake a different flavor and/or design.  Guests will want to mingle and check out all the tables and, most likely, swap a bite with one of their friends!

Rustic Elegance

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

Brooke and Dave just moved to Colorado and loved the outdoors.  For their wedding, we came up with an idea of rustic elegance -bringing some outdoor elements inside.  Nancy at Five Star Decor worked her magic, and she, along with her staff, transformed the tent with curly willow and tiny white lights.  Sri with Seralina Custom Floral added to the ambiance with striking willow centerpieces overflowing with apricot and coral roses, green hydrangea, red hypericum berries, ivory phlox and Brooke’s favorite, a few green apples.  Brienne and Cynthia with Cayton Photography captured these images. 

Petals and Blooms

Monday, December 1st, 2008

I just returned from the Association of Bridal Consultants‘ annual conference in Newport Beach.  While I was there, I got to preview some of the latest designs in flowers, cakes, stationery and linens.   Below are pictures I took of two rose and orchid centerpieces.  These were created by Lavender Hill - a floral design co. from Orange County.  I love how they covered the vases in petals giving them a ruffled effect.  I also like how they placed pink roses on the menus and in the coffee cups to continue the theme.
