The bride was very specific about a pink concept accented by white and silver. The couple wanted the event to take place just prior to sunset, showcasing the aesthetics of the wedding. Since the entire wedding was to take place inside one venue, the main focus was to be placed on the ceremony with strong vibrant pieces to highlight the reception. Illumination of the arrangements was also very important as many of the items were designed to be highly sculptural. The bouquets and boutonnieres took on a high level of importance as they were meant to bridge the attire worn by the bridesmaids and groomsmen.

For the ceremony: Countless Rose petals straddled the main aisle leading to the altar. The first two rows (designated for the immediate family) were marked with smaller fuchsia Rose filled bouquets and coral colored ribbons. The arched-altar was covered with Curly Willow, creating a structure that looked to naturally grow from the ground. It was covered in dramatic clusters of Roses, white Phalenopsis and Cymbidium orchids that looked to have been growing for years. Two large silver metal vessels were placed at the entrance to the venue to create the boundary to the seating area. Expanding outwards away from the main aisle, oversized Rose-covered spheres (accented with Phalenopsis and Cymbidium orchids) grew out from Torote branches with even more Rose clusters, again creating an idea of a garden. Down the short flight of stairs leading to the ceremony, four brilliant crystal vessels were placed showcasing a single branch of mini Cymbidium orchids and covered with Rose blossoms and countless Rose petals. Surrounding the setting was the club pool, dramatically decorated with three oversized floating pink Carnation-covered spheres.

For the reception: The rectangular bridal party table, covered in dazzling silver cloth, was accented by small square votive candles, set to illuminate the grandeur of the two Rose spheres seemingly growing out of a bed of petals. Two stunning mirror-mosaic candle vases were also embedded in Rose blossoms, additionally creating magical ambiance for the night to come. The guest tables (providing seating for 102), elegant and sophisticated, mirrored the style and form of the bridal party table. On each place setting, a single mini Rose welcomed guests to their seats. As the night fell, the pink flower spheres floating in the pool, the pool itself, and the arch from the ceremony were illuminated for the celebration to come. The bar station shelves were accented by two well-lit rectangular Rose arrangements unifying the décor of the entire location, while the service bar was dressed with eight large crystal vases filled with floating Rose blossoms and petals to hide the view of the rustic working kitchen.

The final result: A thrilled bride (and wedding planner) both went out of their way to tell Elena that the floral design was definitely one of the most memorable highlights – the following day, the father of the bride talked with ELENA DAMY™ Staff – summing up the floral design and professionalism of the company as fantastic!
