Summer Shimmer

A palette of silver, Tiffany Blue and white provided an elegant floral story for another Thallo summer wedding. The bride requested clean, simple florals in cool shades of white and blue. Taking her desires into account, Thallo then suggested a modern interpretation of classic romance using shades of white, tiffany blue, and spring green to visually cool and delight guests at the summer celebration.

The bride's bouquet featured a collection of white and ivory cymbidium orchids, both standard and miniature, accented with clusters of light green viburnam and tiffany blue bouquet jewels in the classic round shape. Collared with deep green galax leaves, the stems were wrapped in satin ribbon to coordinate with her gown, and embellished with beads and jewels accordingly.



Attendants carried simple nosegays consisting of fresh green hydrangea, white cymbidium orchids and trachelium. The bride's mother, who had impeccable taste, provided special ribbon to trim each stem wrap.


Groomsmen wore handsome boutonnieres featuring a single miniature cymbidium, a tiffany blue bauble and a stem wrapped in black satin with turquoise wire detail.



Guest tables featured silver candlesticks procured by the bride that held turquoise pillar candles. Strands of turquoise and clear beads added sparkle and texture. To add more interest at table level, Thallo designed petite containers featuring a few cymbidium blooms, delicate foliage and beaded accents.





The head table was the focal point of the ballroom. The bride and groom, maid of honor and best man sat on the upper tier while the rest of the bridal party dined below. Tiffany Blue Lamour linen, tons of candlelight and petite arrangements of white cymbidium orchids marched down the tables' edge while two "trees" of curly willow flanked each side. Hanging from the curly willow were garlands of white orchids and strands of turquoise beads, all nestled in a base of white hydrangea.






 

The escort card table was designed with a Thallo philosophy in mind... well placed details and repetition provide maximum visual impact.

This celebration is a shining example of how staying true to a solid color scheme, repetition as a design tool and a monobotanical floral palette are elements that create a truly memorable event.

A Midsummer Wedding

Thallo's latest Midsummer Wedding featured fresh, festive florals in shades of raspberry, pink, and orange with subtle accents of yellow and claret. Lush raspberry hydrangea, standard and miniature roses in shades ranging from pink to deep orange, gloriosa lilies, cymbidium orchids and asters contributed to a vibrant, warm floral palette.



The bride carried a take on the classic mixed garden bouquet. Standard pink roses, orange miniature roses and miniature green cymbidium orchids sat in a nest of lush raspberry colored hydrangea. Gloriosa lilies, freesia and hypericum berries added movement and texture. This hand-tied clutch was arranged in an organic, flowing shape, and was delicately trimmed in luxe ivory ribbon and crystal embellishments to coordinate with her gown.

The bride's single attendant carried a tasteful bouquet featuring raspberry hydrangea, orange dahlias, deep pink scabiosa and roses.  The handle was trimmed in luxe ribbon a featured pink embellishments.

The reception centerpieces were organic and lush, made on tall iron standards. To bring color to the table level, lush sections of fresh garland were added with perfect blooms designed tableside. Votive cups covered in raspberry art paper added sparkle. Floral ingredients included hydrangea, roses, dahlias, orchids and asters.

The reception venue's main architectural feature was their grand staircase. For this celebration, its banister was trimmed as grandly with fresh plumosia, ruscus and springeri. Nosegays of flowers used throughout the celebration were placed intermittently and a custom-made floral wreath comprised of hydrangea and roses hung from the highest point.









The bride and groom opted for cupcakes instead of a traditional wedding cake. Thallo provided the cupcake stand, designed a fresh floral cake top and individual blossoms for each cupcake. Sweet!









Guests were greeted by a festive escort card table featuring a tall, lush arrangement in a iron pedestal container. Luxe pink chiffon ribbon added color to the table top.




A custom designed monogram sign welcomed guests at the church.

Our best wishes to the bride and groom...
