Vintage Modern Bouquet

A lot of brides come to us wanting a modern style with a vintage flare incorporated into their bridal blooms.  The below bouquet ele3 designed and created made the perfect recipe for a vintage modern bouquet. Using white orchids gives a soft yet modern appeal, adding calla lilies throughout this design adds a classic element.  The finishing touch was a sparkling broach that stood out but did not take away from the blooms.  Brides can carry this bouquet at the side of her waist or in a cradling position.  This bouquet has the perfect amount of vintage glamour with still giving a modern touch.

Winter Wedding Bouquets

For those of you getting married in the winter months here in Michigan, a color palette of winter white, blues, and silvers are my personal favorite, as well as incorporating winter elements such as pine cones, evergreens, and berries.  Just because a berry is typically red, or pine is green doesn't mean it has to stay that color, have your florist spray them white, silver, or a shimmery blue like the below bouquet of peonies, nerine lilies, roses, silver brunia and miniature pinecones.

Sweet Treats from Amy Atlas

With Halloween approaching this weekend the need for something to feast your eyes on that is both tasty & delicious is in the air.  Enjoy this fall themed delectable sweets table deigned by Amy Atlas.  This table would be perfect for a fall wedding.  The details on this table are scrumptious!  One of my favorite treats on the table are the Apple Cakes that look just like cigars, but better for you!

If you have your theme but need help implementing your design throughout your celebration contact ele3 Event Design & Planning.  When creating a natural or enchanted woodland wedding theme, look for inspiration outdoors in nature.  The below wood spheres Amy Atlas placed her cakes on would also be perfect to use as a centerpiece on your guests table.  Placing candles at varying heights atop of the wood spheres would create an enchanted ambiance!  Adorn the candles with fresh acorns and leaves and small vases of white flowers and you will have a fresh woodland centerpiece.

Michigan is known for their Fall apples, add a little carmel swirl in the mix and this will be a favorite among your guests and look pretty sitting on your favor table.

These sweet gold leaves are a perfect Michigan favor!  Not only is this sparkling leaf pretty but your guests are able to hang this delicate ornament on their tree later in the winter season.

Muted Fall Bouquets

When we think of Fall bouquets, it's mostly dark reds, burnt oranges, dark purples, and golden yellows, these colors are definitely my favorite, but a muted color palette can be just as gorgeous.  The below photo, courtesy of marthastewartweddings.com, features white majolica roses, scabiosa, sage, basil, and rosemary.  An Autumn muted bouquet compliments a color palette of golds, greens, chocolates, ivory, mauves, and champagne.
