Doesn’t everyone look better in candlelight in Nashville? I love candlelight, and feel no guest table is complete without LOTS of candles (unless it is early afternoon on a bright sunny day). This photo was taken by Scott Douglas,a designer here in Nashville, who was part of the crew for that day… thanks Scott! The bride, Summer Black, was so much fun to work with….she is a professional ballroom dancer and loves the romantic, yet contemporary look for her wedding flowers. Note that at the base of each design are the petals from 2 dozen roses! She chose to have her ceremony and reception at Nashville’s Hermitage Hotel and our job was to combine the elegance of the hotel with the contemporary tastes of the bride. Can’t wait to see her photos from the wedding….her bouquet was rather unique…..30 stems of white dendrobium orchids!
Sometimes Nashville brides and hostesses come to me and say “I just want candles” on the table, thinking that this might save them money. Granted a couple of candles and nothing else might do just that….but look at the difference having 7 pieces of glass with massed rose petals does for the table and the look. SO, this look does cost as much as some centerpieces….but well worth it!
