It is so elegant and classy.<br /><br />Clare chose three different centerpieces:<br />- a trio of tall MBellish cylinders on a <a href="http://mbellish.com/ta_gallery.php?product_id=22&focus_id=1">14" round mirror</a> with submerged orchids and floating candles<br />- a trio of shorter cylinders (<a href="http://mbellish.com/cp_gallery.php?product_id=16&focus_id=1">the Melrose</a>) on a 12x18" rectangular mirror with submerged orchids and floating candles<br />- and the <a href="http://mbellish.com/cp_gallery.php?product_id=7&focus_id=1">Bel Air</a> candelabra on a 12" square mirror<br /><br />Flowers by <a href="http://www.mollysflowerstudio.com/">Molly's Flower Studio</a>.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyYT4K22FAARU_4_LMypYbVabP5AkGz-PD-mC2HRWuQ-9WCZnlt79hlG0DBpEPtXKYapqsVM66b0RjHcbJr2OBRCzPwxHoEG68YZSv6TQEqJTwNgAzfLTOcEzyKbjMiPkxcsJ3qezilMs/s1600/DSC_0031.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyYT4K22FAARU_4_LMypYbVabP5AkGz-PD-mC2HRWuQ-9WCZnlt79hlG0DBpEPtXKYapqsVM66b0RjHcbJr2OBRCzPwxHoEG68YZSv6TQEqJTwNgAzfLTOcEzyKbjMiPkxcsJ3qezilMs/s320/DSC_0031.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560682156400709442" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7nZPhY2yWXj_fB9-NuPQKpqzbmQHyRcrPiHVb01QknBMBLRKGZR9kqH-Z44jFUWWuuUupWlaGjAisdOlaQPMqNZbGvh6lTwI__NhRXpFdG2I55iuau1RjxwhGP78G9X8PFQET_cF1bW8/s1600/DSC_0029.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7nZPhY2yWXj_fB9-NuPQKpqzbmQHyRcrPiHVb01QknBMBLRKGZR9kqH-Z44jFUWWuuUupWlaGjAisdOlaQPMqNZbGvh6lTwI__NhRXpFdG2I55iuau1RjxwhGP78G9X8PFQET_cF1bW8/s320/DSC_0029.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560682043557886626" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA3J9hxrMAkRNGCTZh6EK6I7_qMKOFMB5_oynSEkVZO9dLUwf-XwBLBEUr53x1is84OVx-zgYBy-D91DvV4Iar_lmgcAJPJzN7PDeHUdTmdGMivfxqZJNfB1zN3-Ay8BPibaeE9tH1qIc/s1600/DSC_0026.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA3J9hxrMAkRNGCTZh6EK6I7_qMKOFMB5_oynSEkVZO9dLUwf-XwBLBEUr53x1is84OVx-zgYBy-D91DvV4Iar_lmgcAJPJzN7PDeHUdTmdGMivfxqZJNfB1zN3-Ay8BPibaeE9tH1qIc/s320/DSC_0026.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560681949975326818" border="0" /></a>Mari Bern, owner M|Bellishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06166499203297494914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276471058908596024.post-46090326111348681592011-01-05T14:52:00.005-06:002011-01-14T12:03:37.368-06:00Pretty photos from my brother's October weddingHere is a link to some nice pictures of the MBellish decorations from my brother's October wedding.

I was so grateful my husband drives a 4x4 truck, otherwise I'm not sure I would have made it to Raspberry Island's Boat Club! During the adventure, I helped push several stuck cars, got stuck twice myself, and was stuck behind a woman pregnant with twins on 494 who I ended up safely taking back to my home (true story!).<br /><br />Krista and Jesse are such a sweet couple I was so happy to get there for them and help make the Boat Club beautiful. It sounds like the bride was a trooper and took some fun pictures out in the snow. Krista chose the <a href="http://mbellish.com/cp_gallery.php?product_id=1&focus_id=1">Venice</a> centerpiece and<a href="http://mbellish.com/ta_gallery.php?product_id=6&focus_id=1"> elegant votives</a>, accented by deep red roses petals by <a href="http://www.mollysflowerstudio.com/index.htm">Molly's Flower Studio</a>.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEUlv8Qu4Hgz3pIALyIt80yGUPTAix3qmksbuXy484eQU0_S5mty-TtDT_lZNVGPjo2LaubGcxti3NJ_7BcthtzFFJ0QI7oS5iiFsGXH_wIMexgINp_caflnTJX6x0SyJUB1-J9evU0tg/s1600/DSC_0069.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEUlv8Qu4Hgz3pIALyIt80yGUPTAix3qmksbuXy484eQU0_S5mty-TtDT_lZNVGPjo2LaubGcxti3NJ_7BcthtzFFJ0QI7oS5iiFsGXH_wIMexgINp_caflnTJX6x0SyJUB1-J9evU0tg/s320/DSC_0069.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558803030023374002" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCPl2zk_5_XslyrE2frNDDtqZ7QtuyVNjR0IEujClqKpPFd6uJmzErlwMPLZGDxbxIPr8CExl7RrPVClV-q82VD8G9U4jXhXWipnPE-sFtTSe2o6jtQC91PGFP-IENXzXJrPyfRNZvDPk/s1600/DSC_0068.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCPl2zk_5_XslyrE2frNDDtqZ7QtuyVNjR0IEujClqKpPFd6uJmzErlwMPLZGDxbxIPr8CExl7RrPVClV-q82VD8G9U4jXhXWipnPE-sFtTSe2o6jtQC91PGFP-IENXzXJrPyfRNZvDPk/s320/DSC_0068.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558802919811509138" border="0" /></a>Mari Bern, owner M|Bellishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06166499203297494914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276471058908596024.post-57331656697545548592010-11-18T13:19:00.008-06:002010-11-18T13:24:49.443-06:00New candelabra - embellished by Carra!A gigantic thank you to my talented friend Carra of <a href="http://lapetitefleurmn.com/">La Petite Fleur</a> for designing these three different arrangements to showcase the new MBellish candelabra.

Bill and his new bride, Erin, planned a spectacular event in Rochester, MN, capping off with their reception at the Rochester Golf and Country Club. It was so much fun and so special to see my one and only sibling get married to a wonderful woman.<br /><br />MBellish, of course, helped out with their decor. At the rehearsal dinner at the fabulous Rainbow Cafe in Pine Island, we used the <a href="http://mbellish.com/cp_gallery.php?product_id=10&focus_id=1">Sausalito</a> mosaic hurricanes surrounded by bittersweet and gourds. At the wedding reception, we used the<a href="http://mbellish.com/cp_gallery.php?product_id=1&focus_id=1"> Venice</a> centerpiece on all of their guest tables, surrounded by five <a href="http://mbellish.com/ta_gallery.php?product_id=6&focus_id=1">elegant votives</a> and voodoo orange rose petals. On their cocktail tables, they used our trio of square vases with submerged orchids (noorah blue, tangerine and buffalo orange mokaras) with ivory floating candles. Their entry way tables were accented with our <a href="http://mbellish.com/cp_gallery.php?product_id=10&focus_id=">Sausalito</a> mosaic hurricanes, and their head table was accented with our tall cylinders, kept simple with water and ivory floating candles. The stunning fall flowers were by <a href="http://everydaybouquets.biz/">Everyday Bouquets</a> of Rochester.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJvBxU4s458dLCqRBmFd2hdJSgaSyEQLHjw-7RkShu0eESucO9TQVFYqgKGyr_JLjm6TVxXfiSYMXtavB-zXrAZV2Z7CaNt32wiQDKNlLkWXSt73ZoqKtbwXNrsX-zVFXRHlS0X6T7ZpY/s1600/DSC_0009.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJvBxU4s458dLCqRBmFd2hdJSgaSyEQLHjw-7RkShu0eESucO9TQVFYqgKGyr_JLjm6TVxXfiSYMXtavB-zXrAZV2Z7CaNt32wiQDKNlLkWXSt73ZoqKtbwXNrsX-zVFXRHlS0X6T7ZpY/s320/DSC_0009.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529811579480971746" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGfo7oSJSEvHTD34RZVEgyL0EaGxAw09uLm8cq_poFIoKs_wicq1GPib-rKpyfxaiAoViQ85E48jRLUT3rkFHIrYReyr4c8ePTeRRVkqtAX691UQnPpvtc-vRhkWUpuXxV8EmYGH3meAI/s1600/DSC_0153.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGfo7oSJSEvHTD34RZVEgyL0EaGxAw09uLm8cq_poFIoKs_wicq1GPib-rKpyfxaiAoViQ85E48jRLUT3rkFHIrYReyr4c8ePTeRRVkqtAX691UQnPpvtc-vRhkWUpuXxV8EmYGH3meAI/s320/DSC_0153.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529811966514477602" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS89DcPUuSPIFKuGwXQXVYJt6q4KuNSNj3Bnj-nClf38Mb74X3TG0J0gCgEoryV_I7sdr52SmOAoXYvwvRovi78Q7ihajtx1pQW8qKyD-5IflkbRafaKIotxVu9Dg_qNT1YlgxjS2u0S0/s1600/Weddings+and+Lerners+095.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS89DcPUuSPIFKuGwXQXVYJt6q4KuNSNj3Bnj-nClf38Mb74X3TG0J0gCgEoryV_I7sdr52SmOAoXYvwvRovi78Q7ihajtx1pQW8qKyD-5IflkbRafaKIotxVu9Dg_qNT1YlgxjS2u0S0/s320/Weddings+and+Lerners+095.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529811869673787666" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjArylhiy_iJj-bRY6YmObYjHphIwFuHKJkJQ2hBIvcFfoYccq5a9kn6luIy8MmALt4SdQvzj1a1d1coAE2yxPEmlGkxxccxNWl3QWUCdnGPrssE1359WCrtWP1QdoaeiLj2m8kmOIOpCw/s1600/DSC_0105.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjArylhiy_iJj-bRY6YmObYjHphIwFuHKJkJQ2hBIvcFfoYccq5a9kn6luIy8MmALt4SdQvzj1a1d1coAE2yxPEmlGkxxccxNWl3QWUCdnGPrssE1359WCrtWP1QdoaeiLj2m8kmOIOpCw/s320/DSC_0105.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529811792984605954" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnjW9NYji4QYqlBG9aXk2xiaIrgqoHdDlA_SyklosPgTUlII2QCgE5sR18pEezbbPGF23BOO68UR5xKclHUyIMYeMkk22oF-egOaNQicAMgkUA8fXG-DDWbk54ZQe_p_0YP0kKDTskLsU/s1600/Weddings+and+Lerners+100.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnjW9NYji4QYqlBG9aXk2xiaIrgqoHdDlA_SyklosPgTUlII2QCgE5sR18pEezbbPGF23BOO68UR5xKclHUyIMYeMkk22oF-egOaNQicAMgkUA8fXG-DDWbk54ZQe_p_0YP0kKDTskLsU/s320/Weddings+and+Lerners+100.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529811684245966386" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJvBxU4s458dLCqRBmFd2hdJSgaSyEQLHjw-7RkShu0eESucO9TQVFYqgKGyr_JLjm6TVxXfiSYMXtavB-zXrAZV2Z7CaNt32wiQDKNlLkWXSt73ZoqKtbwXNrsX-zVFXRHlS0X6T7ZpY/s1600/DSC_0009.JPG"><br /></a>Mari Bern, owner M|Bellishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06166499203297494914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276471058908596024.post-73708105432332944342010-10-19T11:49:00.005-05:002010-10-19T12:10:14.717-05:00Fall elegance at Rush CreekRush Creek is the perfect venue for the fall, with amazing views of the golf course and the surrounding nature.

Chrisy is a long-time family friend of my husband and she married a wonderful man named Kevin. I helped them acheive their desired look for their reception using lots of glassware and mirrors from MBellish. Here are some photos of their cocktail table decorations (using an MBellish mirror and our modern votives), head/harvest table (where they used lots of Melrose cylinders) and one of their centerpiece looks (using a mirror and the tall cylinders from MBellish and submerging magenta dendrobium orchids).

Molly and the bride, Jennifer, incorporated shades of blue to coordinate with the blue glass highlight walls in the ballroom. There were four different settings, as pictured, and each was spectacular. The bride rented tall cylinders and square vases from MBellish as shown in the first and fourth centerpiece groupings, along with votive holders sprinkled throughout.Mari Bern, owner M|Bellishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06166499203297494914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276471058908596024.post-69262484634902211592010-02-15T16:14:00.012-06:002010-10-19T12:41:28.939-05:00Pretty New Candelabra!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtioqJAGrN5GjomxyArwuuGWvWSUcKGjs9GQae5GmUEvhVvRf567vh6Kj-_aofpNv4-8Hb8fbJplBhuvotsG144stciPZS8PdTKdATRiqQfld5Xdpo06wjGn4due1dEJ6lfU4O71ZFtHQ/s1600/new+candelabra+carra.jpg"><br /></a><br />I'm so excited to show you a new candelabra I now offer at MBellish. I need to get better pictures though, these don't do it justice...it's so much prettier in person.<br /><br />This piece has a lovely, shiny silver finish and nine votive cups at staggered heights. It looks like pure modern elegance to me. It is brilliant on its own or can be dressed up with rose petals or a floral centerpiece in the middle. There is plenty of room in the middle of these piece to design a fantastic floral arrangement, surrounded by candlelight.<br /><br />I would love to show you this piece in person, so please contact me for an appointment!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtioqJAGrN5GjomxyArwuuGWvWSUcKGjs9GQae5GmUEvhVvRf567vh6Kj-_aofpNv4-8Hb8fbJplBhuvotsG144stciPZS8PdTKdATRiqQfld5Xdpo06wjGn4due1dEJ6lfU4O71ZFtHQ/s1600/new+candelabra+carra.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtioqJAGrN5GjomxyArwuuGWvWSUcKGjs9GQae5GmUEvhVvRf567vh6Kj-_aofpNv4-8Hb8fbJplBhuvotsG144stciPZS8PdTKdATRiqQfld5Xdpo06wjGn4due1dEJ6lfU4O71ZFtHQ/s320/new+candelabra+carra.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529813276099595634" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Florals on the above photo by the very, very talented Carra of <a href="http://www.lapetitefleurmn.com/">La Petit Fleur</a>.<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisqLWxEwyk5xAOHcSTo9_u0hqUA82Z5Hshay8ju95Ljd-faQD29s9ApZMYt6Z4D0HzNneTNaTzyb0cIIZ0btxyFtLanCuTSApv-NFJdbxcIN718R1dOsvcTyLj7S2aM-XVwQLgXA1yxFc/s1600-h/02-15-2010+New5+++v2.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw1TpzrX45NDdcRR5C85y6w4uflqWaqd3syQtdjDW57YgzIN9kua2d_rtvTOCETYUT_Xy1LXfTnM9B_kAtwXyImPgyis03Wfl3QZDyUaVp6C-qmFOhRJnJwvvRHc02NSGQ-gl6QPhEdC8/s1600-h/02-15-2010++New+3+v2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw1TpzrX45NDdcRR5C85y6w4uflqWaqd3syQtdjDW57YgzIN9kua2d_rtvTOCETYUT_Xy1LXfTnM9B_kAtwXyImPgyis03Wfl3QZDyUaVp6C-qmFOhRJnJwvvRHc02NSGQ-gl6QPhEdC8/s320/02-15-2010++New+3+v2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438598455632318946" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2YMqHZfaLQT8yKe6fvlkPhknMgpm5LKUG8kY9I-iUo43EuZLuWpxXbUpdBgMqDe2meLkWMYLEhdiZXKi_IWUj7vIVjLOlZ3tqPz4iz_oDIQISz_Mt_4fhRT0iUfVe7B6IhJqCHjj09-I/s1600-h/02-15-2010++New+Candelabra++2+v2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2YMqHZfaLQT8yKe6fvlkPhknMgpm5LKUG8kY9I-iUo43EuZLuWpxXbUpdBgMqDe2meLkWMYLEhdiZXKi_IWUj7vIVjLOlZ3tqPz4iz_oDIQISz_Mt_4fhRT0iUfVe7B6IhJqCHjj09-I/s320/02-15-2010++New+Candelabra++2+v2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438598358826054978" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0U1A8zfTeA73AzqvL1DaUOdih8YGWuNOIDZ7TQt9AomrruJvCQAVOb4bViSt8FHpIhOnV1hbcqS7tSovkhjeXSpJhZfUnhX97beWDZNuNLNIXkr4e2atq0Uy72ui0_NQKxiSm5scPve0/s1600-h/02-15-2010+New+Candelabra+++1v2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0U1A8zfTeA73AzqvL1DaUOdih8YGWuNOIDZ7TQt9AomrruJvCQAVOb4bViSt8FHpIhOnV1hbcqS7tSovkhjeXSpJhZfUnhX97beWDZNuNLNIXkr4e2atq0Uy72ui0_NQKxiSm5scPve0/s320/02-15-2010+New+Candelabra+++1v2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438598044146832050" border="0" /></a>Mari Bern, owner M|Bellishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06166499203297494914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276471058908596024.post-57922483129807444192010-02-07T14:59:00.008-06:002010-02-07T15:06:16.051-06:00Winter Beauty at the Nicolett Island PavillionYesterday I had a wonderful time decorating the Nicolett Island Pavilion for Kelly and Justin's winter wedding. Kelly made many lovely decisions for her flowers and decor, using deep red and black as her colors. She used the <a href="http://mbellish.com/cp_gallery.php?product_id=2&focus_id=1">Madrid</a> centerpiece with a 12" square <a href="http://mbellish.com/ta_gallery.php?product_id=22&focus_id=1">mirror</a> and <a href="http://mbellish.com/ta_gallery.php?product_id=18&focus_id=1">red votives</a> on half of her tables, and a dozen red roses in a coordinating vase on the others.

I think the <a href="http://www.mbellish.com/cp_gallery.php?product_id=21&focus_id=1">Manhattan</a> centerpiece, the <a href="http://www.mbellish.com/ta_gallery.php?product_id=22&focus_id=1">mirrors</a>, and the <a href="http://www.mbellish.com/ta_gallery.php?product_id=9&focus_id=1">beaded votives</a> worked perfectly with their gorgeous linens and overall look of the reception.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDKJCtbfAbf09vcwXnsLnt_UVlJkRwooIAT_ILpNSYDAh5LlzCD8l90Bz6NZdDsugXGC_JD5b4sZ3lpWBIz4H8F-U5m71PtkI2MEJ0h7mvCDmzV6tXiKl-A7KBZJVqkTdvlgy7BIO_B3g/s1600/JO+1195_mjohnson.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDKJCtbfAbf09vcwXnsLnt_UVlJkRwooIAT_ILpNSYDAh5LlzCD8l90Bz6NZdDsugXGC_JD5b4sZ3lpWBIz4H8F-U5m71PtkI2MEJ0h7mvCDmzV6tXiKl-A7KBZJVqkTdvlgy7BIO_B3g/s320/JO+1195_mjohnson.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405178272367612306" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg10-lt3FhBi-DBWwc9yUA6zc9zUnHn7bQ9Jgwi1TggPmb9sUh2UpXfsQh4yW8BbrxvJOdFSzHB-kqGRokK61gjej6ZGpzcONRP7fEW7mV3kd4ds5h0dSEgIMOEb1YfMlf7czMjfENZcs4/s1600/JO+1348_mjohnson.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg10-lt3FhBi-DBWwc9yUA6zc9zUnHn7bQ9Jgwi1TggPmb9sUh2UpXfsQh4yW8BbrxvJOdFSzHB-kqGRokK61gjej6ZGpzcONRP7fEW7mV3kd4ds5h0dSEgIMOEb1YfMlf7czMjfENZcs4/s320/JO+1348_mjohnson.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405178733225938914" border="0" /></a>Mari Bern, owner M|Bellishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06166499203297494914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276471058908596024.post-15820295485295140232009-10-28T14:38:00.014-05:002010-03-30T10:47:32.462-05:00Amazing, amazing orchidsOn Sunday, I had the pleasure of helping the wonderfully talented florist, <a href="http://www.mollysflowerstudio.com/">Molly</a>, 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.<br />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 <a href="http://www.mbellish.com/tableaccents.php">14" round mirrors</a>.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTegCKIsSnU3Glsl3SUTTVcNt_OWp2olhOj4p8NRGpdlW-bE-dTEfuSt3Trc-3yKUahnD-ZXgsgPFeH8nGVLfUP2M_7P3u4AE1GIeN_sDtFPsmieaM2xV8Cl-oWr0jbdav3kRchWwK7xg/s1600/_DSC7122a.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTegCKIsSnU3Glsl3SUTTVcNt_OWp2olhOj4p8NRGpdlW-bE-dTEfuSt3Trc-3yKUahnD-ZXgsgPFeH8nGVLfUP2M_7P3u4AE1GIeN_sDtFPsmieaM2xV8Cl-oWr0jbdav3kRchWwK7xg/s320/_DSC7122a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454453669156283026" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYUIu6z91AKy2Bzk6m83FCX7xfCFY7oWeyIonjzFEWm0ZruZam1o_D7_3sxLeoMjyTR9A1OFAZUuXPR7kyBZDOXYVJFHkhiEBF3iOIzK0CllbPqsqOrZjwb_Qog36_pwF7Fe9DTLeF8t4/s1600/_DSC7105.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYUIu6z91AKy2Bzk6m83FCX7xfCFY7oWeyIonjzFEWm0ZruZam1o_D7_3sxLeoMjyTR9A1OFAZUuXPR7kyBZDOXYVJFHkhiEBF3iOIzK0CllbPqsqOrZjwb_Qog36_pwF7Fe9DTLeF8t4/s320/_DSC7105.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454453741279170114" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6rAwN8oiICWFKuvvj8-cWYN7hITOkUxh6YXAPa3bGrIAGlsn3TOEwwOcOtpwrNHXoOtONKeCc23CJhxjDKvozfrLCrNqFWJv7JsM0Um2hahV476dXF6n_cVFsm2fXuyJlu9D63Dna6Rc/s1600-h/IMG_1615_orchids.JPG"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSFvezWUxRlMUMFHr5Q7sbY0KX3aSVz52BLQzqbIhiFJuaDS1S_3_0UlAICf36q5FkvMH8wqPd3GGxdb_w4I1hPeN6lbG6mjg_b3O81vpDw2wScX_woXdvgCalaBtd-XVYqSaWSs4I_eU/s1600-h/IMG_1620_orchids.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSFvezWUxRlMUMFHr5Q7sbY0KX3aSVz52BLQzqbIhiFJuaDS1S_3_0UlAICf36q5FkvMH8wqPd3GGxdb_w4I1hPeN6lbG6mjg_b3O81vpDw2wScX_woXdvgCalaBtd-XVYqSaWSs4I_eU/s200/IMG_1620_orchids.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397749768064460802" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2M7t6jf9lUWcEy5p33VxFFFkG19mt5lvmZzdDHKhilIpo7qxvkeaGht_GmtG3XkwzSbqy568nhlSLZMQgfltjKTCZnK4374dzVyFcZ_rXWePveGnIOgL-iVVFfSqyg3sOvicOE1LwbIo/s1600-h/IMG_1608_orchids.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2M7t6jf9lUWcEy5p33VxFFFkG19mt5lvmZzdDHKhilIpo7qxvkeaGht_GmtG3XkwzSbqy568nhlSLZMQgfltjKTCZnK4374dzVyFcZ_rXWePveGnIOgL-iVVFfSqyg3sOvicOE1LwbIo/s200/IMG_1608_orchids.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397749628669720834" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8PTMxWPci8B5L7cZXhwVcLhba_YllG93j7S4YVmtWclQWhnDjDgY2_gGRX2a05kEyGhK0FD5kDg3lD7AkyaOzQ91vLT6jyx7bu_KVcOk8WKeIWdVP9ytpxFY7YcKOcPqjSfVbrS8ULKo/s1600-h/IMG_1612_orchids.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8PTMxWPci8B5L7cZXhwVcLhba_YllG93j7S4YVmtWclQWhnDjDgY2_gGRX2a05kEyGhK0FD5kDg3lD7AkyaOzQ91vLT6jyx7bu_KVcOk8WKeIWdVP9ytpxFY7YcKOcPqjSfVbrS8ULKo/s200/IMG_1612_orchids.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397749535582341506" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaZCuVKNxxCJ1D7i5HkZt2QMqbLxYLQDolfI7WSbuL5gm9KMkOqMkPiHG3kz8jXF042zUcuPdazdsC40OU8CMaYrsTbVBX93gnc_GTB_yBxQVxzudPqPGo5dXODHTTvpjJ5JrRy27kFBc/s1600-h/IMG_1622_orchids.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaZCuVKNxxCJ1D7i5HkZt2QMqbLxYLQDolfI7WSbuL5gm9KMkOqMkPiHG3kz8jXF042zUcuPdazdsC40OU8CMaYrsTbVBX93gnc_GTB_yBxQVxzudPqPGo5dXODHTTvpjJ5JrRy27kFBc/s200/IMG_1622_orchids.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397749354983441522" border="0" /></a>Mari Bern, owner M|Bellishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06166499203297494914noreply@blogger.com
