Engage!11

June 10th, 2011

Recently our city had the honor of hosting Engage! 11, the ultimate high end wedding professional retreat. As part of the event there are smaller dinners away from the main property that event goers attend. Needless to say, we were beyond thrilled when the famous and fabulous Estancia Resort and Spa asked us to design their table for thirteen. We decided to go with one of our metal table tops, the second edition. Here it is, customized to the room’s colors and style. Special thanks to Kool for the cool acrylic chairs, Concepts Event Design for the chargers, A Perfect Table for the linens and Rock Paper Scissors for the menus. Enjoy!

USD Alumni Honors

June 10th, 2011

I’m so thrilled with the long partnership that we’ve had with University of San Diego during these past years. That’s why it was such an honor to be asked to produce their annual Alumni Honors event yet again this year. Here are some of the contemporary, yet elegant, pieces that we came up with for them this year.

Hey there, Red

June 10th, 2011

Last week we had a really striking wedding up in LA. The bride had chosen us to do both the flowers and the linens and we’re so happy that she did. We went bold and rich, we went all red, with just some copper accents through linens and green touches through orchids. Hope you enjoy, we sure did!

Ceremony of course.

It’s all in the details with this sunshine and beach vintage wedding. It happened on the most amazingly gorgeous day which made me so happy for this adorable couple. Check out these amazing touches created by our bride Katie for her wedding to her beau, Bo.

Unique details right down to the aged terracottas and antique Coke bottles.

The table was peppered with oceanic finds from the couple’s journeys.

Manzanita branches and burlap runners added to the rustic feel.

Our copper lanterns and rock place cards add rustic tones.

The wheat grass and teal glass infused color to keep the table looking fresh.

Lacy ribbons and letterpress style tags added a true vintage feel.

This wedding truly made you feel like you could be on any beach in the world, but this was the one you’d never want to leave.

A wonderful day at The Omni.
