So here is how the design came together...

Flowers:
I was drawn to this inspiration board by its black and gold color palette as well as the modern sophisticated feel. When choosing the flowers, I wanted something that would be elegant yet understated. I decided to go with classic white roses and accent with black vases and different clusters of shapes in black and gold. I used decorative textured balls to add depth and used them as toppers on the black candle holders. When designing I like to incorporate visual elements that are unexpected that instantly bring guests into the mood of the location. When designing the bouquet I went with white roses and added black feathers with a custom black pleated wrap for a bold dramatic look.

Table Design:
We wanted the the overall table design to have a modern feel. We accomplished this by selecting modern elements like black mirage chairs, a black lacquer table, matching black stemware as well as gold beaded chargers, white china with black and gold details and gold flatware. We added black napkins, created a custom fold that was held together by a black feather like embellishment.

Dessert Buffet:
No event would be complete without a sweet treat. The gold and black treats were carefully selected and added a perfect touch of glamour. I created custom wraps for the milk chocolate candy bars and baked petit fours and brushed them with gold baking dust. I created my design around the french inspired wedding cake. We were lucky enough to have the pastry chef at Papa Joe’s/La Sala Banquet create the gorgeous croquembouche (french wedding cake) for our shoot. They did a stunning job and it was the perfect focal point for the desert buffet.

It was an absolute pleasure working with some of the most talented Michigan wedding vendors.

Birthday Party | Kimora turns 4

I thought I take a break from weddings this evening and share the details of my daughter's 4th birthday party.

Color Palette: Pink, White, Silver, Dark Blue

If I describe my daughter in three words it would be CUTE, SMART, AND GIRLY. When designing my daughter's 4th birthday party the most important element was creating a space for toddlers. Me and my husband scouted every resource we had; family, friends and local discount stores to find just the right pieces. We wanted everything to be the height of a four year old. Grab a cup of tea and check out all the amazing eye candy:)

All the fabulous photos were captured by Andy and Lynn of West Park Photography

Leah and Nick are definitely one of my all time favorite clients. We worked with the two of them on the perfect event design for about a year. From the stationery to the flowers every little detail reflected the bride and groom's creativity and personality.
