Custom Made, Custom Tailored (with 2 Weeks Notice) !

This wedding turned out fabulous considering we were only given 2 weeks notice!  Turns out the florist (a friends recommendation) they originally hired bit off more than they could chew and when it came down to it they backed out.  What this couple needed was an floral and event company like us, not a florist. When we got the call we mobilized and produced everything the couple desired.  All on time and all beyond their expectations - they were beyond thrilled and so great to work with! 

Here's what we did....Ivory and Taupe Tent Fabric Draping, Entry Draping into their Home,  Textile Selection & Purchasing including Tailoring of Table Linens, Custom Fabricated Ceremony Seating Structures, Pool Floats, Hand Cut Bamboo Aisle Pathways, Hand Folded Origami, and of course the most BEAUTIFUL Gorgeous Flowers they ever laid eyes on !!   All this and 2 weeks!?!  We did it and it was amazing!




We lined the aisle-way with pieces of bamboo topped with flowers to create a organic walk leading up to the bamboo ceremony structure.


Two large (10ft X 22ft) custom made bamboo structures provided guests shade from the HOT sun during the wedding ceremony. We had waterproof fabric too in case it rained. Fortunately it was a beautiful sunny day in a gorgeous setting.

 

A pool nearby featured four bamboo grids with flower accents.


Custom Table Linens and Origami's were incorporated to reflect the couples fondness of Japanese style. The centerpieces used paper cranes perched on Manzanita branches with flowers and river rocks at the base.

We draped the tent with ivory and taupe colored fabric. This helped disguise all the ugly tent mechanics as well as hid the metal tent poles with white and blue tent pole sleeves.
