Doctors Andrea and Mario selected a beautiful color palatte of ivory, navy, champagne and a kiss of pink with accents of green. The result was a crisp combination of shades that was both elegant & contemporary. I worked with them to create a variety of signature paper goods to complement their day:

The Menu Cards were printed on shimmery gold cardstock:

Their monogram “R” became a central theme in the dinner papergoods, we also incorporated the same header design in the large seating chart organized alphabetically.

The table number cards featured the same color combination and design attributes, and was also printed on shimmery cardstock:

The doctors had a favor of chocolate covered espresso beans that we placed in cool vintage-inspired dispensary bottles and labeled for each guest to serve both as favor & seating assignment. I had a lot of fun making these look like a prescription label:

And now, for flowers :)
The bride carried a bouquet of ivory hydrangea with accents of cream hypericum & ivory & pink kissed roses:

The bridesmaids all carried a similar style, but with more pink and accents of green:

The bouquets contrasted beautifully with the girls’ navy blue dresses:

The guys had hypericum berry bouts. The grooms was in cream (to match his bride) and finished with antique gold wire:

The centerpieces were a combination of ivory hydrangea, pink roses, and green hypericum berries and white oriental lilies:

We had several series of looks– here’s from the mock-up session we did about a month before the wedding:

I love this image of the cocktail table arrangements:

And, to end on a sweet note: The delicious cake from Dessert Designs was embellished with layers of pink hydrangea accented with green hypericum berries,then topped with a family heirloom cake topper of sweet little birds:

    mmmm, really like the navy blue braidmaids dresses

Before we launch into lovely, let me tell you about Andrea and Mario– possibly two of the sweetest people I’ve yet to work with, and also quite amazing. You see, the two are both doctors. Yeah. They work an awful, awful lot, so planning a wedding was a ton of fun for them both, I’m sure. In between dress fittings & floral consults, I’m sure that the two of them wanted to go crazy a few times– or at least catch a good, solid night’s sleep.

Luckily, this fab couple had a fab planner to help pull all the details together– Kristin Kaplan with Simply Stunning Events. She was by their side each step of the way and also helped in working with me to come up with the essential details of the weekend’s festivities. Chris & Adrienne Scott were there to document the rehearsal dinner and wedding, so no special moment was missed.

The night before their wedding, we had a fabulous rehearsal dinner at Marathon Village that was inspired by lush, tropical flowers & hatch show prints. The colors: orange, steel gray, and hints of magenta & green. We wanted to stay far removed from the colors of the wedding (creams, blush, navy & gold with pops of green) so the rehearsal dinner was a very solid departure in style and theme. Hamilton Bartending Services kept the libations in quick supply, and Bacon & Caviar did an amazing job catering the soiree. When guests entered, they found signage that we created that asked them to fill out a nametag and get signed in– the perfect way to let out of town guests and family members get to know each other in a handy way. Each sticker asked the guests their name & their relation to either Andrea or Mario that Brocade designed and printed for the couple. I love the use of informative signage as a means to keep your guests in the know each step of the way.

The invitation that we designed, inspired by a Hatch Show print :

Guest Nametags:

One of the big focal points to the room was this…thing…we lovingly referred to as “The Temple”… it looked like a homage to Mayan Architecture. I had the bright idea to make it a beautiful space with candles & single stems of flowers:

The tables were lovely rectangles covered in white linens with green runners & napkins from Connie Duglin Linens. We did arrangements filled with tropical flowers that the mother of the groom & the soon to be newyweds loved: pincushion protea, dendrobium orchids, torch ginger and birds of paradise along with bells of Ireland and lily grass:

A lovely shot of one of the centerpieces:

And another. The balance of color is achieved by integrating the crisp greens of the spider mums & bells of ireland, then pairing with the bold color of the birds of paradise & the dendrobium for a tropical look without overpowering the senses:

I love the use of lighting in this space– Nashville Event Lighting always does an amazing job.

A wonderful night was shared by all at this beautiful space.

Stay tuned for details from the wedding & reception!
