Last night was the first NACE (National Association of Catering Executives) Meeting of the year.
Hosted by the Columbia Tower Club.
NACE is a wonderful networking group of event professionals that I am happy to be a part of.
The event was 2010 Wedding Trends and our speaker Lynne DeLuca was a pleasure.
Check out her website for her free newsletter and other great stuff.
We were asked among 7 other design companies to do a table for the event. The theme for our table was "Rustic Elegance."
My goal was to blend the trend of rustic, natural, organic and woodsy with chic, elegant and modern. Being 2010 brides are more econonimally savvy as well as conscious of their eco-footprint while planning a wedding I used only filler, greenery and curly willow sticks. This keep the cost down on the arrangement, but doesn't sacrific drama. The crystals added elegance and sophistication to the piece.
There was a subtle accent of white Dendrobium Orchids and Mini Green Cymbidium Orchids accented on among the branches.
The Crystals and the beautiful Fleur de Lis Votive Holders were provided by Chic Celebrations.
To continue with the natural elements, we created napkin rings out of strips of birch and accented them with orchids. A few of the votive holders were also accented with birch to keep with the theme.
Choice Linens provided the table linen, napkins and chargers.
Here's a glimpse of the other tables presented that night by the other decor companies:
