Alison & John

ALISON & JOHN June 2017 DESIGN TEASE

Beth Helmstetter Events

PALETTE

Feminine palette of blush, peach, lavendar with a bit of natural greens, grays for an earthy balance to the old world glam that tones of champagne and hotel silver will bring to the day.

BOUQUET & BOUTONNIERES Alison’s bouquet to be filled with dahlias, garden roses and baby blooms in shades of blush, peaches, sepia tones and ivory.

WELCOME DRINKS Guests to be greeted with lemonade styled with fresh blooms, lemons and then served in mason jars

WELCOME DETAILS Sunglasses and Family Sign will add a bit of Alison and John’s personality to the day.

CEREMONY A floral covered chuppah using dahlias, hydrangea, garden roses and moments of greenery. Surrounding the altar I recommend urns of blooms on wood stands which would then be used on the dinner tables as centerpieces.

The finished product wouldn’t be as lush as this exact image and would have more greenery.

INSPIRATION SKETCH Inspired by previous structure but smaller and less packed including moments of green

CEREMONY Alternative chuppah option for budget savings which would be beautiful with the white chairs

AISLE

Shephard’s hooks with small coordinating arrangements and mini lanterns would be placed down the aisle and repurposed in the dessert area later in the evening.

Wood for the aisle to be a lighter wood as shown in smaller image.

COCKTAIL HOUR

Guests greeted with rose or sparkling rose at cocktail hour. Sugared gold rim could be lovely but not necessary.

Soft pink or peach linens tied with a garland for a charming touch.

Appetizers to be tray passed on vintage wood trays in gold and sage for a romantic, old world feel

COCKTAIL HOUR BLOOMS

Hotel silver filled with garden blooms in shades of blush, peach, lavender and fresh herbs

CENTERPIECES A mix of high and low centerpieces throughout the room, repurposing the florals from the ceremony

LINENS & CHARGERS A champagne overlay accented with a gold rim charger would add a bit of sophistication to the otherwise soft, pretty room

LINENS & CHARGERS Alternatively a lovely champagne linen with a subtle floral pattern with a light peach toned wood charger would be beautiful as well

TABLE DETAILS Table numbers on vintage mirrors, a dinner menu inspired by the invitation at each place setting and each guest to be greeted with a small bloom

CHANDELIERS If budget allows, florals on the chandeliers would be lovely. Blooms to coordinate with rest of the palette but heavier on greens and just moments of blooms.

ICE CREAM CAKE & PARLOR INSPIRED DISPLAY

Ice Cream Cake displayed on a vintage cordial cart for a sweet moment and then surrounded by a display at mutiple heights included potentially a vintage ice cream cart or shelf styled with a variety of ice cream options and hot chocolate along with a sign acknowledging Alison’s grandmother.
