EVENT FLOWERS
May 12, 2018 | in the studio with loretta, interior alchemy, pretty this + that

Event flowers are blooming in magical, whimsical and sophisticated vibes.

Come along as we share inspiration straight from the flower market and beyond.  New York City's Chelsea Flower District is often the first stop for inspiration. Wrapped in brown paper, luscious colors and blooms line the shelves.

The stylistic approach to event flowers has been pushed to reveling heights of aesthetic.

The Spring season calls for the fantastical yet organic statement of cherry blossoms.  At a recent Bat Mitzvah we dressed the party treat table in the sweet feminine beauty of a full cluster of cherry blossoms.  Personally, I find the beauty of these branches heavenly. A true gift from nature.

Meet you at the BAR:) Event flowers dress up the bar top as they keep with the event's design direction. A Bar Mitzvah at Slate, projected a mood that called for one full arrangement to give texture, height and movement.  Contrastingly, our City Winery event played with a tight group of beauties held in a modern vessel to tie together the rustic ambience of City Winery with the Bat Mitzvah girl's desire for sleek lounge furniture.

The tablescape has grown up!! No longer do we need to be seated for dinner with one floral arrangement placed center of the table. The trend of communal dining tables has inspired to designers to explore with materials.

A Bat Mitzvah hosted at the McKittrick Hotel with a Coachella music festive theme inspired Spruce Flowers to create a collection of beauties in contrasting vessels. The mix of height, blooms, texture was perfectly suited for the unique McKittrick beauty + festival feel.

The classic table seating....guest table number included......continues on with a twist.  Floral design elements grouped together for a more modern approach have offered up clients an alternative to the single centerpiece. At a recent NYC event, Spruce Flowers created magic here.

Personally, I am a fan of the communal dining experience. I love the long line of the table and the festive vibe that radiates. An event at 26 Bridge had guests dining family style on farm tables by Rent Patina.  Under a canopy of string lights the tables were host to a rustic collection of vintage bottles filled with a mix of organic white + green branches.

The event flowers at Kelley and Ping were purchased by the host Peri Wolfman morning of the celebration. Our collaborative vision for Peri's Birthday Bash was to keep the table vibrant + playful as the space has a bit of gritty authentic SoHo.  It was a super fun morning as we lined the center of table with stunning poppy flowers. The bright pop of color against the simple kraft paper set the perfect tablescape.

tablescape ideas
April 26, 2018 | in the studio with loretta, interior alchemy, pretty this + that, venue this way

Let's chat up tablescape ideas for your next social event!

The creative process is a magical unfolding of texture, color & ideas. It begins with a visual concept and unfolds to a unique story. The story being a reflection of the client's sensibility.

The creative direction is the grounding element that ensures a cohesive event vibe.

Come along:)........what's your party jam???

A fresh approach........This Bar Mitzvah hosted at Studio 450 reflected classic clean design lines. The modern lounge furniture and communal seating was a fit against the white box setting. Keeping with the aesthetic our floral designer chose pops of color as the tablescape.

Studio 450 Party Venue in NYC

A bright approach....this Bar Mitzvah was all about LED lights. Adding to a party vibe, we chose glass vessels filled with LED novelties as the tablescape direction. 

A moroccan theme......At the Glass Houses, LED  played up against bright colored floor cushions.

A  cheerful & playful design..... at We Work Bryant Park.  Super fun combination of confetti garland, fairy lights and ranunculus framed the center of the high top communal table. 

A sweet + sassy feel....fairy lights twisted around white washed branches gave a sweet twinkle mixed with funky blooms.

A 75th Birthday Bash at Kelley + Ping shouted for simple + bright against the kraft paper and old school SoHo vibe.  A morning visit to the Flower District NYC landed the tablescape with assorted vintage vases and fresh cut bright poppies.

Organic statement......with succulents at the tablescape.  In a quiet style, simply dotted along a side table. Or submerged in cylinder vases. The organic design compliments a setting.

 

The bohemian style of free soft flowing is reflected in these tablescape designs. Fresh cut flowers, wooden boxes, burlap runners, vintage bottles all combine to give this very popular aesthetic.
