Something we love to do for our brides, budget conscious or not, is to incorporate a flip in their design! A flip is repurposing your ceremony decor at your reception, which is such a great way to get the most out of your decor.  There are endless amounts of options when it comes to customizing your flip. For example, during your ceremony you can design your floral arrangement in a classic gold urn and then switch it up for the reception with a modern crystal candlestick! One thing to keep in mind is your flip doesn’t necessarily have to be at two different venues. If you plan on having your wedding at one venue, you can move those decor items from one another location to another!

Here are some examples of past flips we’ve done:

 

 

 

 

 

One of the amazing things about being in the event design industry, is how it is always changing. Trends and styles are constantly evolving, from new and modern styles making their debuts to a more classic style requested by clients. And if you know Debby, she is always taking the current trends and fads and putting her unique spin on them. From custom acrylic pieces to collection tabletop designs, we are loving these newest spring trends!

Your guest’s first impression as they enter your wedding reception will set the tone for the evening. Creating a unique escort card display has become an increasing popular trend. For this February wedding at the Joule Hotel in Dallas, TX, we designed a custom iron frame which perfectly fit a clear acrylic piece detailed with seating assignments. A variety of jewel-toned orchids detailed the top of the structure, providing a perfect floral cap!

Custom acrylic pieces are making a comeback in the wedding world! For this bride, we adorned this acrylic Chuppah with a header of lush floral blooms across the top. We added strands of white dendrobium orchids inside each clear column for a modern touch. This turned a traditional religious wedding staple into a custom unique statement piece! The ghost chairs, provided by the Joule Hotel, perfectly complemented the Chuppah. Another modern acrylic fixture to consider in your wedding design is a clear acrylic cake stand. This piece elevates your show stopping wedding cake, giving it the appearance of floating above a gorgeous table linen.

We are excited to announce, we are now owners of our own clear, acrylic Chuppah!  [Read more…]

Last Saturday, we had the pleasure of designing a space at the Belo Mansion open house. With a completely blank canvas, Debby found her inspiration from designer Justina Blakeney. If you have never heard of this amazing woman, head over to her website and you are sure to feel instantly inspired! Justina caught Debby’s eye from her famous “face the foliage” where she uses flower blooms to design human sketches and she has been a huge fan ever since. Debby saw her instagram post (image below) and was instantly inspired by the colors she used, especially the navy background. Debby loves to look for inspiration outside the traditional outlets, like Pinterest, and looks at interior design magazines along with designer’s Instagrams.

BBJ provided the linens with Blue Cotier on the main table and highboys. On the back table, we used a Navy Lamour linen. For flowers, Debby went with a mix of traditional and funky which was inspired by the same mix of patterns in her inspiration. She brought in accents of gold for a more sophisticated and stylish feel, which is a common request from our brides.

Debby’s overall goal was to catch peoples eye from across the ballroom, and there’s no denying that we achieved it! We loved all the compliments we received – from eye-catching and different to unique combination of flowers!
