Effile tower inspired centerpiece | Paris theme centerpiece

Many are inspired by the french and the level of sophisticated elegance
the french bring to the table. In the design world we look to the
french for inspiration to incorporate the details in our weddings and designs.
From Paris, Effile tower, country side, Versailles, Marie Antoinette are
 few of the many ideas that can be incorporated in a design.
Click on Couture and Paris, Effile tower, country side, 

Versailles, Marie Anntionette, Vintage and Romantic

 and you will see ArtQuest's rendition of design.

We selected the infamous Effile tower and decided the wrap
the tower with crisp white phaleonopsis orchids.
As much as I wanted to design with roses(which I designed HERE)
I used orchids, as they are a blend of sophistication and elegance.
We paired this centerpiece with a soft lavender satin linen, chargers
flatware and stemware from our personal collection.

This would be perfect for a Bridal shower, Wedding or Baby shower.
I recorded a video of this table setting 

on my Instagram which you can see HERE.

Purple and Silver Wedding | Scripps Seaside Forum Wedding

This is one of the color combinations we love. Lovely rich hues of purple, 

lavender paired with vibrant green. So rich, romantic and elegant. 

The bride carried a lovely purple bouquet with all purple lizianthus

which was embellished with an exquisite broach. The reception was at the 

Scripps Seaside Forum where we used lovely lavender roses, deep purple

lizianthus with accents of green hydrangeas on a silver candelabra.
The guests enjoyed the cocktail hour that overlooked the beautiful ocean.

We used a soft lavender and silver linen from our personal collection.

Yellow and White Wedding | Wedding in La Jolla Cove Suites

Today we are reminiscing those beautiful warm summer days with this beautiful 

yellow and white wedding we designed at the La Jolla Cove Suites.

I love this combination of yellow and white, its elegant, vibrant and a perfect 

fit for a summer wedding. The bouquet our lovely bride carried was with 

yellow cymbidiums, and white garden roses which was wrapped with 

a lovely gold lace. The ceremony had 2 manzanita trees filled with lush 

yellow roses and hydrangeas and a chuppah where the lovely couple 

exchanged their vows. The reception and ceremony overlooked the 

amazing pacific ocean, where guests could see the waves splash 

up against the coast. We designed 2 styles of centerpieces, one a tall

beautiful gold candelabras and the other a short urn with yellow roses 

and white hydrangeas. The bride spent hours making origami cranes that 

were displayed throughout the wedding. It was wonderful experience

 designing this wedding and we wish the wonderful couple a

happy and prosperous married life together. 

Vibrant Design | Colorful Centerpiece

I love and adore neutral, white and blush palette alot. I believe they are 

a wonderful combination for any event. However as a designer I love to 

explore the vibrant color combinations as well. For instance this design

has lush florals with roses and dahlias in a gold vase. I had to pair this 

piece with a my gold sequin linen to give it a luxury effect. 

TIP: As a client you invest the $ on a design. 

So why not make it memorable and something that is imprinted in your 

guest's mind. As much as I love a soft and romantic design, the bold and 

the beautiful will always stand out. Something you for to think about. 

A beautiful Pieris and Stephanotis bouquet

A couple of weeks ago I got a request to design

a bouquet with peris, stephanotis and orchids.

This bouquet with Pieris and Stephanotis is so romantic and beautiful.

I added a few blooms of orchids to add some texture to the bouquet 

and wrapped it with an exquisite gold lace. 

I designed a smaller version,a nosegay for the mothers and halo for the

flower girls with stepanotis and ivy. Perfect for a garden wedding!
