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.

Centerpiece Idea: Madrid Options

The Madrid centerpiece is a unique piece that can be used in many ways. Here are some of my favorite ideas:

1) Fill the center glass cylinder with water and float one large fresh floral bud in the water. This looks simple and beautiful. Scatter a few votive holders around the base of the centerpiece to add candlelight.

2) Fill the center glass cylinder with fresh fruit - purple, wine grapes or lemons and limes.

3) As pictured, place a ball candle in the glass cylinder. Tuck fresh flower buds into the base of the piece.
