Congratulations to Savannah Magazine for hosting their first bridal show at the Jepson Center this past February!  What a fabulous turnout!!  I partnered up with two other wedding colleagues and friends… Melissa Livingston with M Livingston Events and Emily McCarthy with emmajdesign.  The three of us had a wonderful time in our styling session creating the perfect booth to display each of our talents.  I, of course, did the flowers, Emily designed all of the paper products and Melissa pulled each table scape together with fabulous linens, china, chairs, etc.

Our first table had a preppy, nautical feel to it.  We created a set of colorful monochromatic centerpieces using yellow roses, tulips and asiatic lilies, and adorned the bride and groom’s chairs with hanging rose pomander balls.  We have 100 of these tall vases to rent to our brides and often fill them with floating candles.

At our flower shop, we see so many brides that are selecting ‘eggplant’ as one of their wedding colors, so we created this centerpiece (to the right) to complement this color scheme.  We used lavender roses, green and pink hydrangea, green trick dianthus and pops of very dark grapes, plums and black berries.  Its a great way of using the color ‘eggplant’ without making everything too dark.

The focal point of our booth was the Well Wishes Tree created from our 5′ tall manzanita branches.  We love using these branches as table centerpieces with hanging crystals and votive candles as well.

Melissa selected all of our linens and chairs from Beachview Tent Rentals.  They have a fabulous selection and are wonderful to work with.

Our third table scape had an elegant feel to it using golds, whites and greens.  We used jumbo white hydrangea, open spray roses, green amaryllis with shorter gold manzanita branches and hanging crystals  This type of centerpiece can be used as a ceremony arrangement as well.

I had a wonderful time working with these talented ladies. Please check out their sites!   Thanks Melissa and Emily!!

And many many thanks to my friend and colleague Donna Von Bruening for stopping by the show and taking some of these wonderful photographs for me.
