The Columns

The bride requested a very natural, lush look of assorted foliages with a sprinkling of white flowers. We used a combination of tropical and temperate foliages which made for a very interesting interplay of textures and colors.

The ceremony was at St. Mary Assumption. It's such a lovely old church, all it needed was a couple of arrangements on pedestals at the front. These were very large, approx. 5 ft. tall, probably 4ft. wide. Assorted foliages with large, standard calla lilies. The pews were decorated with boughs of assorted trailing foliages such as English ivy, Italian ruskus, and variegated pittisporum for color. The foliage was designed to create an illusion of a garland going up the aisle.

This wonderful piece graced one of the mantles at The Columns. Again we used various foliages and accented with white lilies, saracena and green hanging amaranth. The Columns has two of these delightful figures. We filled their pots with assorted greens, saracena and green hanging amaranth.

The mother of the bride supplied us with several containers to use, this silver trophy cup was great for a tall arrangement on the bar. A front room side table was a perfect spot for another trailing arrangement.

We made a lovely pav'ed centerpiece of hydrangea, cream colored roses, lisianthus and white ornamental kale in a lovely silver bowl supplied by the mother of the bride. The cake was encircled with assorted foliages. Our picture was taken before the top was finished with a lovely Casa Blanca lily and tuft of green. Placing greens around the base of the cake differentiates the tablecloth from the cake while adding a lot of interest.

The highboys at The Columns were decorated with these tasteful gerbera daisy bowls. We've accented the bowls with a fatsia leaf. The cabaret tables were decorated with our bubble bowls which were filled with assorted foliages, various white flowers and fabulous saracena.
