mantle decor "spring"

A new seasonal share in in order for your eyes to feast on. Where there is a mantle there is display. Actually, where there is an empty space there is a display in my world. The mantle is something I see each time I come home, so it seems to get more attention than other spaces around the nest, changing seasonally to keep me interested. A friend recommended I share it, since it's a big part of who I am. So here goes, officially the first mantle share.

Retirement Party

A much need break from the rain was in order for this retirement celebration,  and mother nature actually cooperated.

Shana & Eugene

Shana & Eugene married at the Hotel Shattuck Plaza Hotel in Berkeley.  Finding inspiration from the lobby's stunning modern decor, Shana based her yellow, black and white theme. The stunning red glass chandelier as you enter the building was mimicked in her invites and programs. When I first heard her color scheme the first thoughts I had were: fun, vintage, and modern. Playing off that we did simple centerpieces of all one kind of flower, creating a bold statement to play along with the color pallet. Half the tables had a single arrangement and the other a trio in a modern design. Instead of traditional flowers to mark the ceremony space we created a fun backdrop using rice paper decorations in black, white, and yellow. I loved the way the wall turned out!

I'm sorry I missed getting a photo of the CUTE cake from Carolyn Wong Cakes.

Valerie & Nick

Well I'm starting to feel wedding season has officially hit, although spring isn't fully booked I get to play and have fun doing what I LOVE. I'm happy to be back to sharing recent weddings. This past weekends wedding was much more modern in style than most of my work, but that just makes it all that much more fun and exciting. Joined by the amazing Miraglia Catering the day was PERFECT! CONGRATULATIONS to Valerie & Nick for taking the plunge after so many years together, Valerie you were stunning!

Recent Orders

I apologize for my lack of blogging lately, my world changes from wedding production to consultations, proposal writing, and a lot of paperwork at this time of year. I miss sharing what is going on and I will make more of an effort to do so on a weekly basis. Here are some recent orders that I thought would be a fun share.

Enjoy,
