This romantic, pink hand-tied style bouquet was created for a Sacramento wedding we did this past month.  The flowers used included pink hydrangeas, pink miniature calla lilies, ‘Sweet Unique’ pink roses, pink standard gerbera daisies, pink lisianthus, light pink waxflower and hot pink spray roses.  The stems were finished off  with a pink silk ribbon french twist treatment.

This is a follow-up to a previous post on the October wedding we worked on which will be featured on WE tv’s reality show “Platinum Weddings.” Frank and Charity’s reception transformed the already stunning Arden Hills into a masterpiece!

Along with their wedding planner, Aimee Wendell of 2 Chic Events and Design, Frank and Charity created an uber-chic lounge for their guests to enjoy cocktails, followed by a reception to remember!

The Heritage room was fully draped by CMC events, and finished off with hanging crystals and some awesome lighting!

For the tables, Charity wanted something very sleek and modern, and for someone who doesn’t looove flowers {….it hurts me to say this}, the focus was on clean lines and bling!  The five foot tall centerpieces were created with hand painted silver manzanita, a clear cylindrical vase filled with ice gems, and over 350 Swarovski crystals per centerpiece!  Totally bling!  Each centerpiece was lit by an LED platform to illuminate the gems and crystals in the branches.

A candy display featured upgraded couture linens from the fabulous Mimi & Co..  Mimi & Co. also did fully custom chair covers with a rose accent on the back of each chair!

What better way to personalize your guest tables than with custom votives.  You can have them match your centerpiece flowers, and many are available with fun prints to extend your theme and decor.  Looking for a favor to double as decor?  Well, look no further than these one-of-a-kind votives!  Here are a few of my favorites:
