Awsome Aisle Swag

(est cost: $340 - $650)

All year I have been getting excited about aisle swags and this weekend we created a swag that I had to stop and stare at. The lush orange Imperial Taffeta rested flawlessly on the church floor creating wonderful billows. To my delight the lighting in the church was wonderful and made the fabric glow! Hopefully, Kali & Eric's photographer will share a few more images so that I can share the entire wedding with you.

Thank you to Kali & Eric. I enjoyed getting to know you and being part of your wedding.

Simple Calla in Pink

Check out this simple display of glass, stones branches and stunning submerged pink callas. This is a great piece for cocktail tables or even your bar area.

This fun piece was inspired by a fabulous couple planning a low key and down to earth autumn affair at the Historic Gov. Calvert House in Annapolis' Historic District.

Dressing your Cylinder

Cylinder vases are hotter than ever with the 2009 & 2010 brides. Dressing your cylinder can give it a custom look. Of course to have your designer dress each vase is going to be pricey, however, we offer our clients the opportunity to pick-up their rental vases several days in advance and dress them on their own. This gives the bride the opportunity to achieve that custom look while keeping her budget in check. (We are offering this on a trial basis)

Fuchsia & Black make a dramatic statement when paired with the ballroom's crystal chandelier. The designer was wise to set this arrangement on a standard black linen as the contrast creates a fabulous "WOW" factor.

Classic Calla

The Calla Lily is a classic wedding flower. The simple flower comes in lots of colors and has clean lines that is ideal for a classic look. The image above (courtesy of theknot.com) is a great example of callas being used for a black & White wedding.

Orchid Fantasy

Orchids have become the "must have" wedding flower for the 2009 & 2010. I thought you would all enjoy a look into this luxurious wedding overflowing with some of the most expensive orchids available.

For the bride that LOVES the look, but, not the price tag there are a number of ways to use this look as inspiration to create a more cost affective look.
