Contemporary Elegance at Belle Mer
In Early September, on Goat Island, at the immaculate Belle Mer Salon, C+M became man and wife surrounded by their loved ones and a plethora of ethereal, cascading white blooms. In true “White Wedding Fashion” we worked with our friend Ashlie Fastino of Infinite Events, and the couple to draw up a design plan that was truly heavenly. The overall feel was contemporary elegance meets modern luxury, and was full of white florals including orchids, roses, hydrangea, and delphinium.
The centerpiece of the ceremony was a striking lucite chuppah, raised on a stage, and adorned in lush white blooms. The florals were designed atop the chuppah to give the illusion of flowers floating overhead. C+M’s pup Honey made an appearance at the ceremony, walking down the aisle adorned in a bespoke collar and leash, decorated with perfect tea roses and phalaenopsis orchids. Luscious floral accents lined the aisle creating a walkway that enveloped guests in romantic white blossoms. As the newly married couple retreated back down the aisle, they were showered with soft, white rose petals tossed lovingly by the crowd in celebration of their love.
The stunning stark white ballroom at the Belle Mer Water Salon played the perfect host for the reception. A mix of modern, asymmetrical high floral arrangements, and contemporary low compote arrangements were styled amongst the tables. The salon was a vision, with a clean, avant-garde feel, and flooded by sparkling candlelight. The head table was a focal point, styled on elegant lucite banquet tables were our cut-crystal candelabras, surrounded by petite compositions of white blooms in crystal vases. Additional candlelight on the mantle by the head table illuminated the scene perfectly, and enveloped the couple in a warm glow. The grand staircase in the ballroom was dripping with opulent white blooms of orchids, roses, and hydrangea, flawlessly tying together the concept for the space.
The couple’s vision of modern elegance was brought to life through expert design and styling. By utilizing drastic layers, spilling moments, and artfully placing each bloom, we ensured that each arrangement was a true masterpiece. The floral design, paired with our collection of cut crystal candelabras and compotes created the perfect look that exactly reflected the couple’s vision! It was our pleasure to create a truly ethereal evening for C+M and their guests!
