Make it Grand!

MBellish is excited to be part of a new vendor marketplace called Make it Grand! It's a darling space on Grand Avenue, across from Kowalski's and a block down from The Wedding Shoppe.

Make it Grand is a one stop shop for people when they are looking to plan an event, with a community of event and wedding professionals offered in one location. MBellish has shelf space in the marketplace where we're displaying some of our centerpieces.

The grand opening of Make it Grand is August 15th from noon - 4pm. I would love to see you there!

Sophistication at the Carlson Rotunda

I loved decorating for the first time at the Carlson Towers Rotunda. It had to be a quick turn-around, but it's always exciting to transform a space into something beautiful for the bride and groom. Here they used the Manhattan centerpiece and two floral looks from Molly's Flower Studio. I loved how the silver vases coordinated with the Manhattan.

Decorating for a Friend

I had the pleasure to both decorate, and attend, a friend's wedding in June in Ames, IA. 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). It was a delight to help them decorate and to celebrate their very special occasion!

A classy affair at the Graves 601

In coordination with Molly's Flower Studio, MBellish helped decorate a February reception at the Graves Hotel. 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.

Pretty New Candelabra!

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.

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.

I would love to show you this piece in person, so please contact me for an appointment!

Winter Beauty at the Nicolett Island Pavillion

Yesterday 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 Madrid centerpiece with a 12" square mirror and red votives on half of her tables, and a dozen red roses in a coordinating vase on the others. Enjoy the lovely pictures below. Flowers by Molly's Flower Studio.
