Dried Flowers & Crystal Grid Wedding Inspiration

September 9th, 2019

Ethereal Dry flowers with an elegant neutral tablescape for wedding inspiration.

Look familiar? I LOVED creating this piece so much that I made it the first pic you see when you land on my website.
 
It’s the most soothing and unifying color palette but still has ALL that interest and texture.

Textured natural and dry flower arrangements featuring pampas and sun palms on a farm table.

Full of fresh and dried blooms like Pampas Grass, Baby’s Breath, Quicksand Roses, Vintage Lisianthus and Sun Palms- she’s just the fluff dreams are made of.

And a giant thank you to David of La Pinata Party Rentals for ALL the gorgeous rentals AND letting us crash his showroom and make a big ol’ mess on a Monday afternoon.

And let me just put it out there- I wanna make more more more crystal grids with flowers.
BIG ones.
 
Maybe you’d like to stand in the middle of one and make some magic?
Just throwing it out there.

MODERN TROPICAL WEDDING INSPIRATION AT THE MODERN, LONG BEACH

October 13th, 2018

Cute wedding couple in front of modern tropical wedding arch with acrylic accents
 
In 2017 I decided to create the work I wanted to be doing.

So I asked my friend Renee of Moxie Bright Events if she’d like to collaborate on a minimal, modern, and elegant re-imagining of the “greenery” trend taking over the interwebs
(all. that. garland.) and she came on board.

The rest is history. And hard work. And talented collaborators. And lots and lots of tropical greenery, with nary a garland in sight! 🙂

Enough rambling though, check out all the modern, minimal + tropical magic we created at The Modern in Long Beach:
 
A modern tropical tablescape with tall centerpieces, and custom acrylic place cards.
 
While these elevated centerpieces are black-tie ready, the acrylic escort cards I designed (with calligraphy by Chasing Linen) add a playful element to the table.

We incorporated acrylic details + simple greenery throughout- in this beautiful invitation from Happily Ever Etched…
 
Modern, minimal, and tropical wedding table inspiration.
 
You’ll also see acrylic details in the table number, and later, the ceremony design.
 
A tropical bridal bouquet and tiny pineapple boutonniere.
 
Texture and tiny details FTW.
 
Acrylic "Find your Seat" Sign with Monstera Leaf.
 
Tropical wedding desserts- gold leafed donuts.
 
These donuts from Mwokaji Cakery are almost too pretty to eat. Almost. 😉
 
Tropical acrylic leaf escort cards by Winston & Main with calligraphy by Chasing Linen.
 
And a closer look at those escort cards. I created three different leaf styles, but the mini monsteras are definitely my fave!

Minimal, modern, and tropical centerpiece.
 
So simple, so perfect.
 
Modern, minimal, tropical wedding ceremony arch with monstera, banana leaves, elephant ear, and ghost chairs.
 
I still love this ceremony design so much, from the simple gold pipe arch, to the giant tropical leaves, (no floral foam heeeeey) to the always fabulous Ghost Chairs.

A quick close-up of those floating monstera leaves! Acrylic trianges FTW, again.
 
Delicious tropical wedding desserts.
 
And a few more delicious sweets!
 
Real talk: I’ve done at least 3 real weddings as a direct result of this shoot, for which I’m super grateful. So if there’s something you want to start doing (or get paid to do) hurry up and get started! And if you just want to hire me to bring ALL the giant tropical leaves your direction, get in touch right here!
