We decided to have our first
bridal photoshoot this year and
began to ponder on a theme. We
knew we wanted lots of greenery
infused with a burst of vibrant
colors. There were also some
statements that needed to stand
out in this photoshoot
(Life, Luxury, and Elegance).
Having this in mind, Vie De Luxe Et
Elegance, simply meaning
A Life of Luxury and elegance,
was birthed. The idea was to
transform a blank space into a
luxurious venue using lots of
greenery, representing life, a
variety of flowers, and accent
crystal pieces and candles to
represent luxury and
elegance.
Theme: Vie De Luxe Et Elegance
Color: Greenery, with a touch of
Radiant Orchid, Ivory, and Gold.
Backdrop: A Flower wall filled
with a variety of flowers and
lots of greens was created for
the background. We also pipe and
draped the area to create an il-
lusion of a walkway leading into
a garden.
Centerpieces: We designed a ta-
ble scape using a mirrored cov-
er table, mixture of customized
vases, floral stands, candela-
bras, and crystal candle hold-
ers. The flower stand and vases
were customized by covering
them with leaves and orchids,
before the flower arrangements
were suspended on them. We then
used candelabras, crystal and
stemmed candle holders, and
mirror stands to accent the flo-
ral arrangements.
Place setting: We customized our
place setting using laser cut
placemats as a base for our gold
chargers and a variety of, ivory,
gold, and green, dinner plates
with gold cutleries. We also
used a variety of colors of stem
wares to express different ideas
for the place settings. Gold and
ivory napkins held with crystal-
lized napkin rings were used and
we finished it up with customized
menu cards.
Name Table: We created a tree
and surrounded it with floating
candles. We suspended name our
customized laser cut name cards
from the tree using crystal
strands.
Stationery: Customized menu
cards expressing the color
scheme, Laser cut name cards and
a luxurious boxed invitation all
in color scheme, greenery, radi-
ant orchid, and Ivory.
