Comme des Garçons

Well today I was outside looking up at the clouds admiring how puffy they are; and for some reason Commes de Garcons Fall 2010 fashion show came racing into my head. I remember looking at these images a few months back thinking; how cool they would be as a wedding dress. Of course not for the traditional bride; but I could see some ladies with the right edge rocking these out. The tayloring and the cut is amazing. And WOW would I have fun putting together some flowers bouquets for these dresses. White peonies would be the way to go; but how fab would it be to be able to use cotton flower. It looks like I need to go hang out in front of the Art Institute to see if anyone is interested in getting married any time soon :)

Calling All Event Planners

Finally an acrylic chiavari chair. Calling on all event planners. Please use this in 2010. I'm over the wood chiavari chairs. This is a fab alternative. Put down a ultra suede chair cover and you are good to go! For details see www.classicpartyrentals.com

Noir Couture

Ahh, noir, my favorite! Some people are just too afraid to use it in their weddings and events. Or they use it wrong. I say if you're going to use black than go big or go home. Please enjoy some delightful images. Florals are artfool aka Matthew Robbins and Marth Stewart Weddings. Cake design is April Reed. Dresses are by Marchesa, Dolce Gabbana

Très Chic of the Week

This wedding was so much fun to work on. (Yes I work for Kathy Hoffman Flowers) We had a great time working with our clients antique milk glass collection. We wanted soft garden feel yet modern; especially considering the backdrop for this event was the simple yet posh Carneros Inn, Napa Ca. I don't normal give props to wedding coordinators on this blog (this blog is dedicated to the promotion of great floral designers) but since I work with Ms. Rebecca Feeney founder/owner of Custom Event Group and she rocks it out always; I will give her some post space.
