Hannah and Young at Loews Lake Las Vegas

When Hannah and I first spoke on the phone about her wedding she was definitely speaking my language. She was asking about designs that would be rich in a natural and textured appeal, she wanted something casual but eye catching. Needless to say I was very excited to be working with her and her soon to be hubby, Young, on their wedding that took place at the beautiful Loews Lake Las Vegas.

Hannah's bouquet was a custom mix of creamy vendela roses, lisianthus, freesia, scabiosa and a couple different types of greens including seeded eucalyptus and bunny tails. We took elements of the bouquet to create the boutonniere for Young so they complimented each other perfectly.




In the reception held in the baraka we put together a low centerpiece and a high centerpiece both consisting of richly textured floral. The low designs were composed in a moss vase while the highs were accented with bands of cream colored burlap.
Thank you Hannah and Young for letting us play a part in your special day, it was truly beautiful.

Rebecca and Matt 10.7.10

Rebecca and Matt's wedding kicked off what was a very busy October wedding weekend. Their wedding held at a friend's home, took a little bit of color inspiration from the Wynn Las Vegas Resort where Matt proposed. We added a little bit of depth to their color scheme by incorporating different tones of the orange and purple family. Meeting with the couple you could tell right away how much fun this wedding was going to be with Matt's sense of humor and Rebecca's kind personality.

Rebecca's bouquet consisted of a mix of dark purple schwarzwalder mini callas, mango mini callas and some golden james story orchids.



The girls of Plush Weddings and Events were busy at work hanging draping, ribbons and paper lanterns to decorate the backyard where the reception was held.





Thank you Mindy Bean Photography for capturing the details for us.

A Spring Time Affair

Last year I had the opportunity to meet Amy, the multi talented owner of Amy Rae Photography, when she was in town for the WPPI conference. When I heard she was coming back to Vegas for WPPI this year I jumped all over the chance at putting together a photo shoot for Amy and some of her photographer friends to shoot. We got the girls of Plush Weddings and Events involved in the planning process and came up with a decedent vibe for a roof top wedding. Our friends at Trump International were so kind to let us take over their outside deck and transform it into this sweet little wedding set up.

The timing of this shoot worked out perfectly because we were able to make full use of some of our favorite seasonal flowers including peonies, parrot tulips, daffodils, ranunculus, amaryllis, and garden roses. The gold vases and trims that we used pulled the look together so well.
















Lacey and Kaila of Plush wanted to come up with some way to display escort cards that was a little different and fun so we collaborated to create this floral accented lamp.



The candy bar provided by For the Love of Candy (check them out on facebook) was so cute. Than to top it off with a couple of adorable cakes by Gimme Some Sugar made it perfection.

Old World Beauty at The Four Seasons Las Vegas

Aime and Dustin were married at the beautiful Four Seasons Las Vegas just a few days before Thanksgiving. When we first talked to Amie and her mother they explained they were going for an Old World feel with just a hint of Rock and Roll. They had brought in the talents of a local design company to provide them with some major decor pieces and asked if we would help bring their vision to life with our florals.

Amie had a few pictures of bouquets that she liked and we translated them into something that she would love. Dark purple mini callas mixed with Black Magic roses brought in a deep dramatic feel while hints of red james story added a little pop among the flowers. Than we added some black feathery foliage and quite a bit of bling to the mini callas as well as the handle to give her the Rock and Roll vibe she was seeking.


During the Hofbrauhaus themed cocktail hour guest were able to check out pictures of the couple as babies all the way through their engagement that were hanging on mossy branch accented with red james story orchids.


On the tables we went with two different designs giving the room a little more visual interest and depth. The first table was decked out in an amazing fur linen that we placed our manzanita tree designs on. We tired to make ours a little different so we decked out the base with moss and accented them with floral crawling up the branch.



The second centerpiece design was a low grouping of vintage gold vases that we filled with dark dramatic colored floral. These looked amazing with the matching vintage candle holders glowing around them.



We were so lucky to have some extra special assistance with this wedding. Adam Fraizer of Artistic Imaging came to learn the ins and outs of what it takes for a floral set up like this one and captured some great detail shots for us as well. Thank you Adam!
