Peaches on Par Floral & Details

Floral was key to our theme in that we wanted it to almost be understated. We wanted it to be soft, low centerpieces, trailing down the middle of our long table. Peaches were of course important, so we displayed those on the table, which meant the floral had to color coordinate with them. We turned to Amanda from Nest, Floral Studio, to help us put together these pieces, plus a bouquet for a bride to carry that would match this theme.

From our original storyboard, you can see we were focusing on soft colors in peaches, pinks, ivory and white. We also suggested she use ranunculus and garden roses. She brought those in, but added even better choices! The bride’s bouquet she came up with was stunning with poppies in a peachy pink, peach parrot tulips, orange ranunculus, peach juliette garden roses and creamy white astilbe. When we asked Amanda for an estimate, she said a lush gathering of these type flowers in a bridal bouquet would cost about $175. Extremely reasonable for these types of flowers!

For the centerpiece on our long table, Amanda provided faceted antique glassware to use for the vases. We loved the glassware because it added a great texture, but was not distracting since it was clear. She had the 3 medium to large pieces set down the middle of the table, then smaller pieces interwoven throughout the table. The floral she used included the garden roses, astilbe, ranunculus, and poppies. She added a touch of hypericum berries to the centerpieces as well. For all the items on the table, the entire installation would cost approximately $275. This does not include the orange ranunculus bloom with the simple tuff of white astilbe tucked in the napkins, which would cost $6 per place setting.

To achieve a similar look, but with less expensive flowers, Amanda suggests using standard peach roses, stock, field tulips and other seasonal flowers. The other item Amanda contributed to was the escort card display (see previous post), as she brought the wheat grass we used. For the amount of grass we used, this would cost $45.

While floral is of course important, there were some other details key to this shoot. First, the chairs and benches we used were provided by vintage furniture rental company, Borrowed. Melinda was super sweet and even painted the benches just the right color for us! We made the cushions from foam core and material we found at Hobby Lobby. So simple and easy to make!

The dishes were provided by Jackson’s Home & Garden. The Juliska Stoneware Ceramics line was like it had been made for our golf theme! We loved the dotted circles that looked like golf balls on the white plate, and the glassware had the perfect motif! With the entire place setting costing a little over $250, purchasing these plates would not be what we recommend, but they were fun for the shoot. The peachy pink small plate was provided by one of her interns. It was her grandmother’s and is depression glass. Not something we can put a price on!

For the pies, Edison’s (a fabulous venue and offsite caterer) made these delicious desserts. They were SO scrumptious looking (and smelled heavenly), the golfers all around us were dying to steal them! Fortunately, Christina at TPC Craig Ranch helped us choose the perfect spot for our table so we were out of their line of fire and their reach, so none went missing.

Last, but certainly not least, the ivory garden cutwork linen from BBJ linen just made our day. It was perfect for the theme and just looked lovely outside! We know you’ll love it too. This linen would be $40.50 per table.

We hope you enjoyed our photos as much as we did in creating them! Thanks again to Celina Gomez for photographing everything, and Brides of North Texas for giving us this opportunity!

Peaches On Par Tablescape in Brides of North Texas

For each magazine issue, Brides of North Texas asks designers to submit a tablescape idea with a storyboard. From there, they convene a panel of brides to vote on these ideas to see which ones will actually come together to be photographed. We submitted our Peaches on Par idea and storyboard earlier this year and were thrilled when they called to say we were selected! Here is the original storyboard we submitted: Each & Every Detail Peaches on Par Storyboard. After working with Brides of North Texas on our team of vendors, we got together with some great professionals to put it all together and get it photographed. The issue just came out and here is the result of all our hard work! (Click on it to see the detail)

Over the next week, we’ll be discussing each of the details from this tablescape, so keep an eye out. Below are the vendors that made up our awesome team. Thanks to everyone for their help!

Amy + Vic = Mission Accomplished

Last year, Each & Every Detail donated it’s services to a little group called Collin County Event Professionals for a free wedding giveaway. The wedding package included almost everything from engagement photos to a horse carriage ride at the end. (Really, see the list below.) We were so touched by how many other vendors donated their time and services. It was an amazing project to be involved in and we enjoyed every minute of working with Amy & Vic. The wedding was held on November 7, 2010, at the Chapel at Chestnut Square in McKinney, with the reception at the McKinney Performing Arts Center. Each & Every Detail provided full wedding planning services, through lead planner Wendy Kidd. Here is a highlight video of their fall-themed wedding from White Rock Films. Thanks Bill!

Katie + Wayne = Mission Accomplished

With fall being my favorite season, I couldn’t have been more excited when Wendy told me my first wedding as part of the Each & Every Detail team would be one inspired by the season. With Katie’s wedding colors a combination of reds, oranges, dark plum and chocolate, it was sure to be beautiful!

Wendy had been working with Katie planning this fall themed affair at McKinney’s Historic Bingham House for the past year and the results were spectacular.

Black and White - Bride and Groom Kiss at Door

I don’t think Katie could have chosen a more perfect location for her ceremony than on the porch of the Bingham House.

The fall festivities continued during the cocktail hour with lanterns lighting up the backyard and a wishing tree with rustic paper leaves guests could write well wishes to the newly married couple.

Fall Bouquet of Red and Orange on White Bench

The reception hall looked stunning with centerpieces by Lisa Brazille with The Diamond Petal and gorgeous chocolate pin-tuck table clothes and champagne satin accents by Jules Event Décor. The guests munched on an array of hors d’oeuvres, from homemade macaroni and cheese to a martini mashed potato bar, catered from the Bingham House.

All the while Fairytale Photography worked their magic and captured the true essence of love that surrounded everyone at Katie and Wayne’s wedding.
