Kimberley & Chris at The Chrysler Museum

This wedding was very special to me and my staff. We have worked with Kimberley's family and their wedding planning business R.S.V.P. for years. The are friends but part of our tight knit work family. Kimberley looked breathtaking! I made a bouquet of merlot colored peony's, black magic roses, blue berries, and angel wing red begonia foliage, with subtle touches of peppermint for Kimberley to carry. Kimberley's sister Kristin carried a bouquet of green hydrangea, flemenica roses (yellow with merlot edges), seeded eucalyptus, hypericum, and paprika and orange colored lily's,
For the ceremony I used 10 silver candelabras topped with green hydrangea amaranthus and white roses. I adorned the landings of the impressive museum staircase with the candelabras and placed small lighted votive candles on each step. The effect against the stone walls and steps is soft and classic. As a surprise for Kimberley we lined the aisle with pink pomander balls hung by a soft blue ribbon. Kimberley was very surprised, pleased and touched.
The reception took on a more modern flair. I used tall glass cylinders filled with varied arrangements of green hydrangea, green fuji mums, white dendrobium, hypericum, spicy orange roses, paprika colored lily's, orange lily's, purple stock and Amaranthus. The tall glass cylinders were placed on on lighted platform and they glowed from underneath. We surrounded the tall cylinder with 4 smaller cylinders and filled them with a variety of the same flowers. All of this placed atop a deep rich chocolate colored satin tablecloth. Kimberley and Chris' families really loved the effect. I have many friends among the other wedding vendors that I have worked with throughout the years many of whom have become like family. This is definitely the case with Kimberley. It was more than a pleasure to work with Kimberley and Chris (and Kim's mom Diane) planning this event. It was perfect!
