Dreamy, Dreamy Weddings


As the 2010 wedding season nears, we at the Perfect Petal have been doing a little reminiscing. Taking a few moments to look back on all the weddings we adored from last season, and all the amazing vendors we had the honor and pleasure of working with. Looking back through our ever growing portfolio, we have a chance to gain inspiration and ideas for things to come, and it reminds us of all the joy we gain from the experience of helping a bride and groom achieve their vision.

Last fall we worked on a wedding that we really treasure. Inspired by a fall palette, we used rich oranges, rusts, browns and greens. The design was playful, yet elegant, and really showed off the artistic spirit of the bride and groom.


Laura Dombrowski, an amazing photographer who we are always honored to work with, did an incredible job of capturing the mood of this incredible wedding. We adore her attention to detail, and her work as a visual storyteller.


Featured in The Knot, this wedding was genuinely a stunner



Branches, vines and moss tangled through the designs creating a naturalistic feel that really highlighted the beautiful location, one of our favorites; Ten Mile Station in Breckenridge, Co.

Love day is upon us!

Need ideas? We've got lots of them. Truth is, we spend too much of our time thinking about these kinds of things - dreaming of luscious floral arrangements, locally made jewelry, chocolates, candles, lotions, the cutest little kitchen items imaginable, rare potted orchids... oh, too much to mention!! Perhaps a visual would do it more justice...























Anything strike your fancy? Give us a call - we'd love to help make your day even more special!







XO,



Petals

Merigue - Best Overall Design


The Perfect Petal and Epicurian Catering are so proud to be the winners at this year's ISES Wedding Showcase for Best Overall Design in the Fantasy Tables Competition. The concept of this table sprung from vintage carnival inspiration, bold color themes, and a desire to be playful, modern and innnovative.


First we drew from elements that excited us : Stunning vintage umbrellas, our own personal collections of vintage cameras, old black and white photographs, handmade playful top hat lamps... and gathered them together to create a cohesive modern design with a strong nod to the past.





The space was accented by an iron gazebo illuminated with bistro lights, and all tables were adorned with lush linens and ribbons in bold yellow, gray, black and white.



Something we try to communicate with our clients, when concepting a wedding, is that the impact is in the details. Thoughtful design is about more than a beautiful floral centerpiece, it's about all the elements on a table coming together to tell a story. This is something we really wanted to express with Meringe.


Felted mustaches attached to yellow and white stripe straws bring in an old time carnival flare - and show off a bride and grooms sense of humor.


Bright yellow billy balls and football mums mingle with blooming acacia and climbing passion vine.


Lemons, old fashions candies, and meticulously designed name tags and graphic elements tie the scene together.

No wedding would be complete without a killer bridal bouquet- this sassy little number has bright yellow tulips, billy balls and romantic garden roses, accented with a dramatic gray and white striped ribbon collar.



And, of couse, we had a lot of FUN!!



Thank you ISES Denver!!
