I was so honoured when my colleague and friend, Sandra, asked me to arrange for her wedding, and I was ecstatic when she told me about her color palette of ivory and whites with a touch of “blingage”. Many brides these days opt for brighter theme colors for their wedding. Though I love bright colors, I have an appreciation for this beautiful, classic, palette of ivory and whites... it’s just so timeless! And it is a total reflection of Sandra’s personal style.
That day, Sandra wore a fitted white dress with a heavily crystal-beaded sash and wore a crystal encrusted hair comb in her curls (she looked absolutely gorgeous!). To go with her theme, every element of her wedding were adorned with crystals including her accessories, stationary, sashes on the bridesmaids' dresses, and the cake. Likewise, her floral arrangements needed to be sprinkled with crystals.
We did not want to go over-the-top with the “blingage” so we added just a right amount of bling with crystal adorned roses in the bridal bouquet, crystal brooches in the centerpieces, and softly glowing LED lights in the centerpieces to add opulence to the arrangements and venue.
It was truly an amazing night. Amongst many touching moments, I was especially touched when Sandra cried (twice!) about the flowers, they were happy tears of course!
Pearled top pins down the handle of the bouquet to mirror the buttons on the back of her gown.
We thought we would give Ryan, the groom, at least one crystal. It was also his Big Day afterall.

LED lights on. The lights turned out to be quite the conversation piece, many guests were trying to figure out where the light was coming from.
