Weekly Designs: Anthurium Previa

I think that anthurium are generally an underrated flower. Maybe it has to do with the cheapo fake ones you see in artificial designs, ugly! Or that some people refer to them as the "Boy Flower" because of their appearance...ahem, I don't think I need to elaborate.

Whatever the reason they are beautiful, particularly the variety I used in this design. Anthurium previa is a pure lavender with medium sized flower. What most people may not realize is the range of colors available, from pure white to variations of green onto deep reds and burgundy. Anthurium could certainly be added to the list of flowers to use for summer weddings or anytime you want a more tropical look for the design.

I paired the anthurium with an arrangement of these deep magenta/purple calla lilies in a vase lined with monstera leaves. How stunning are these callas?

Real Wedding: Oana and Jason

The wedding on Saturday at the beautiful Skyline Studios (located in the same building as Tribeca Rooftop) was great. The bride, Oana, was amazing to work with and she stayed true to what she wanted for the design of the tables. She was always open to my ideas and suggestions and together we designed a beautiful look for the tables. I love the final outcome and here is just a glimpse...

The detail of the linens and the use of the acrylic ghost chairs added so much to the overall look of the space, more details about the designs and images to come. Stay tuned!

Art Deco Calla Lilies

Here is the third table set-up we did for the Tablescape Challenge. This was ultra chic and so simple. There is no vase for the flowers and while it might not seem to be the most practical thing there are some flowers that can withstand being out of water for a certain length of time. This is not something that could be set-up hours before an event but for an intimate gathering or dinner party at home this would be perfect. Take a chance and try something a little bit different, you may be really surprised with the results. We definitely were!













Again, Sara of Sara Wasilausky Studio did an amazing job of capturing the look although it posed some challenges since it was such a low and flat design.
