Amazing, amazing orchids

On Sunday, I had the pleasure of helping the wonderfully talented florist, Molly, decorate her client's reception at the Westin Galleria in Edina. This was my first time at this space and I loved it. Simple, elegant, and modern...but oh boy did Molly's flowers brighten up the space; it was breathtaking after we finished decorating. Molly and the bride decided on using mostly orchids...lots of varieties and colors. They were amazing. The precious flowers floated in water in two different cylinder groupings, along with a third setting of a tall floral. Incredible. I wish I could have been there at night to see the candles glowing and the flowers shining through the glass.
In the pictures below, the tall set of three cylinders are new items I now offer for rent! They are 12", 16", and 24" glass cylinders. They are heavy-bottom, high quality glass cylinders that are perfect to get some height into your reception and to mix and match with another centerpiece setting. The cylinder groupings sat on rented 14" round mirrors.

Beauty in Purple and Gold

For Jaci and Paul's 9/26/09 wedding, I had the pleasure of working with my friend Carra at La Petit Fleur to use MBellish pieces to accent her gorgeous flowers. Because the bride wanted purple and gold, she used the purple bubble votives around Carra's fabulous hurricane designs and used the Venice piece as one of her three centerpiece groupings. Wow!

University of St. Thomas Reunion

On October 10th I decorated, and attended, my 10 year reunion at the University of St. Thomas. It was a really fun event, held at our south campus cafeteria. The MBellish pieces really turned the cafeteria into an elegant affair! I used the Manhattan centerpiece as one setting and three beaded votives on a 12" round mirror as another. Thank you to Molly for suggesting I kick things up a notch by adding the purple dendrobium orchids.
