polynesian

sorry for the influx of pics i just coudnt narrow it down! i met karlee in early spring and she was sure i was the right florist for her the second saw my work. we designed and carried out her entire event, from location, chairs, linens, flowers, and fish! some of our clients dont know that we do this, well now you do (at least the few of you who read the blog!) karlee's colors where magenta, eggplant, lime green, and orange. she wanted lots of color, very tropical to go along with her husbands polynesian heritage. the only thing that was remotely more american traditional was her bouquet and that was mostly in shape not flowers or colors.

we started with a blank canvas, the sunset room at cedar hills golf course. we set up pipe and draping to cover the less attractive parts of the room and create the right flow for vendors and guests. 18 round tables, 3 head banquet tables, one cake table, 2 buffet tables, sign in, and gift table, 160 chairs later the base was set to go. linens where white to the ground. 6 tables had green overlays, 6 eggplant, 6 magenta. all chairs had orange sashes. head table was all white to the floor linens along with cake, sign in, buffet, and gift tables. head table centerpieces consisted of a round vase filled with orange and eggplant callas, fugi spider mums, roses, and cockscomb. all vases had ti leaves wrapped inside. to each side of the head table vase was a set of three long, short, rectangle vases filled with single colors of single flowers, some cockscomb some fugi mums and eggplant mini callas. each table was set with a trio of vases all rectangular filled with single colors each in compliments to the linen color. karlee's bouquet was hot lady roses, white spray roses, eggplant mini callas, button mums, purple trachelium, orange mini callas, orange unique roses, and hot pink cockscomb. wrapped in eggplant satin ribbon with a green wire crossed overlay. her groom wore a traditional grooms hawaiian lei. leis also adorned the rest of the bridal party.

this was a sit down private intimate dinner reception for 160 guests. no expense was spared. the one picture missing is great large buffet pieces once again filled with a plethura of gold fish! thanks karlee!!!!!!!!
