December Color Story
What better way to kiss 2009 goodbye than by throwing this month’s fantasy New Years Eve Wedding party at the gorgeous Conservatory of Winterthur Museum and Country Estate in Winterthur, Delaware! Through these gates a magical fantasy celebration awaits featuring the colors of onyx, gold and emerald.
These magnificent photos are compliments of our good friend and photographer Marie Labbancz who beautifully captures our step-back-in-time to the days of glamour and lavishness!
As you can see, our unique table design flows seamlessly in conjunction with this venue and the outdoor scenery. We absolutely love this striking centerpiece cone Beautiful Blooms created out of gardenia leaves with a burst of extraordinarily lush, black feathers. Who doesn’t love feathers in winter?
Our table was decorated with cut crystal candleholders and gold pillar candles. We’re crazy about how the linens coordinate beautifully with the rims of each plate and cup, then brought together with perfect napkin rings! Then, of course, the ultimate last touch with the feather placed inside each napkin.
Beautiful Blooms really outdid themselves with this unique bridal bouquet made out of green cymbidium orchids, green prada carnations and black feathers.
This absolutely stunning boutonniere was made of orchids and black feathers.
The fabulous bridal gown designed by Matthew Christopher and provided to us by Gabriella New York Bridal Salon (we love them!) is reminiscent of the glamorous and lavish styles of the 1920s and 30s – the era of gorgeous Hollywood starlets and incredibly extravagant parties. Your eyes immediately follow the feather details along the back and length of the gown unveiling its sensational drama, softness and femininity. Our model wears pearls to accentuate the vintage qualities and period style of this gown.
Claudia Seyler did the hairstyling and makeup for our bride capturing the essence of this time period by using pearl accents and bright red lipstick.
We hope you enjoyed our 2009 color stories as much as we enjoyed creating them and sharing them with you Stay tuned for our January color story when we bring you our first beautiful surprise for 2010!
