Maria Brady of Choreographed Events is always great to work with.  She brought in special linen for the cake and head table that were just exquisite.  Planning this up scaled wedding was a huge undertaking but done with easy by Maria.  You will see by looking at our photo gallery that Tibor of Imley Photography, did an outstanding job capturing the event.

centerpiece-with-branches-and-crystals I do not think I have seen the Ritz Carlton Ballroom as grand with the soft lighting effect and fabric draping done by Affairs in the Air, coupled with the striking arrangements that the Fudgie designers did on site.  Two styles of arrangements were used.   Both in tall vases but one with long  white orchids with chandeliered hanging votives and the other of tall curly willow branches with white dendrobium orchids attached and crystals garlands raining from the branches and many hanging votive candles.  The branches stood 5 to 6’ tall of the tables which filled the room with it tall ceiling.

ritz-carlton-with-fabric-draping-and-uplighting-and-flowers The long head table with its fabulous linen was flanked with two 36” all crystal 5 branch candelabrum topped with white orchids and then lined with dozens of candles between.  The place card table in the pre function area at the Ritz had a vase of tall curly willow branches with crystals and tiny orchids on monofilament. The monofilament rained from its branches.  This impressive piece was in the center of all the place cards that spiraled out from it base.

The sparkle of the crystals in the candlelight made for an absolutely awesome look.

Couple can choose the logia as this bride did, or the gazebo or a water view on the lawn.

 

  Bridal -bouquet

This featured couple used Limelight Photography for their all white wedding.  The bride chose a clean look using all white roses for her bridal bouquet that was hand tied with an initial on the handle  and the bridesmaids carried a garden mix of all white and cream tone flowers.  The front arch on the logia was draped with fabric by Affairs in the Air and green plants from Made in the Shade added a little softness to either side of the fountain as the background for the ceremony. 

vase -curly willow -white dendrobium orchids

Tall vases of curly willow branches with white dendrobium orchids sprays graced the tables.  This was a natural look that gave some elevation on the guest tables.  Also on the place card table a vase of manzanita branches with sprays of crystals tied in nicely with the guest table arrangements.
