Real Inspiration: Multicultural Glam - Main Table

This is the most recent shoot we designed alongside a fabulous team of vendors at The Ebell of Los Angeles. All the amazing detail shots were captured by Picotte Weddings. The floral décor by the lovely Peony & Plum, was eclectic, bright and colorful and full of texture. She used a variety of flora & fauna including orchids, anemonies, roses, succulents, lisianthus, kangaroo paw, and ranunculus.

The colors of the tablescape popped against the Espresso Bengaline linen from BBJ Linen. The flowers were abundantly flowing out of the arrangements seen in an eclectic mix of vessels including Moroccan lanterns, wooden boxes, gold bowls, glass votives, and even a treasure chest.

The chairs with an embroidered gold pattern on chocolate brown leather were a bit of a fashion accessory to the table from Chameleon Chairs.

To add some more color to the table we added an authentic Indian Scarf from Picotte Weddings as a table runner. 

The votive candle holders can be found at Luna Bazaar or sometimes at World Market. We also purchased the treasure chest at World Market as well. 

The table numbers by Blue Magpie Invitations was wrapped in a fuchsia pink silk fabric. 

I love all the texture that Peony & Plum used in the arrangements with the roses, succulents, lisianthus, orchids, and peacock feathers.  

I love the the rental items from Classic Party Rentals, Unique Tabletop Collection, which added that touch of class including the Blue Glassware, Wooden Flatware, and Textured Amber Glass Chargers.  

Blue Magpie Invitations hand wrapped each menu in gold cording and we accented the Wineberry Bengaline napkin from BBJ Linen with a peacock feather for a little added pizzazz. 

The Moroccan Lanterns were purchased at World Market, but you can also find them online at Koehler Home Decor. 

We also had a scrumptious "mini cake" made out of layered cookies & chocolate filling for each guest as our favor by Fantasy Frostings. 

The Contempo Blue Glassware is so stunning, Classic Party Rentals also has the same style in amber and pink. 

Stay tuned for tomorrow's post on our Bride & Groom.

Vendor Pick: Classic Party Rentals

I have always loved Classic Party Rentals. They have such a large selection of...well...everything.

 Chiavari Chairs in silver, gold, black, white, dark wood, light wood, tuscan (aged) and clear. 

 They've got a ton of different silverware like the Dragonfly style seen above. 

 And I love that they have the Descanso Tables, which are still very popular. 

 They have a select amount of linens as well. 

 They also have these cool bamboo chairs too. 

 And I love, love, love their colored glassware, seen here in amethyst. 

 They have some great chargers too. 

 They've also got a lot of gold, gold silverware, gold chargers, gold glassware. 

 And no rental company would be complete without event furniture. 

 

 They also have extensive lighting available. 

 They also have these amazing ghost chairs that I wish more people used. 

Fabulous Find: The Bridal Bar

No longer do you need to be a celebrity to get the celebrity treatment. The Bridal Bar is a one stop shop for all things wedding and it's a free resource to all brides famous or not. 

Browse through portfolios of all the vendors you'll need for your wedding as you sip champagne. It's fabulous, and did I mention, FREE.

Many of my favorite vendors are a part of "The Bar" such as Peony & Plum, Fantasy Frostings, Occasions, The Ebell, and Classic Party Rentals.

They've done celebrity weddings like Rob & Kaitlin's wedding (both from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia)

To Kendra & Hank's wedding at the Playboy Mansion.

And the Winter Wonderland Wedding of Katherine Heigl & Josh Kelley.

And who could forget Tom Cruise & Katie Holme's European affair.

And if your not able to get to the original showroom in Beverly Hills, you can also check out the 2 new spots in Atlanta

and San Diego

Featured: Style Me Pretty

I'll be honest. I was totally dancing in my car when I found out that STYLE ME PRETTY, was going to feature ME on their blog. My colleage, Lina Wallace, of A Stunning Affair, and I co-designed a TWILIGHT INSPIRED TABLESCAPE. It was a real labor of love and I am so honored, truly, to be featured on such a prestigious blog. I have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming. I'll post more pics soon, but here's a little taste of what you can see up on Style Me Pretty. 

Here's the inspiration board I created on Polyvore to give you a taste of what you'll see over on Style Me Pretty. 

We collaborated with some fabulous vendors including Meg Perotti Photography, for without whom we could not have pulled this off, plus Sweet and Saucy Shop which did the phenomenal cake, Calligraphy Katrina that did all of the calligraphy, Classic Party Rentals for hooking us up, and Sashes for Love for our custom table runner. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
