Wyeth Wedding Inspiration on Style Me Pretty


A few months ago, on a cold & snowy morning, we joined several talented local wedding vendors at the Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford to bring the artwork of Andrew Wyeth alive. Alive in a  bridal shoot, that is. Inspired by some of Wyeth's most famous works, like his Helga portraits, we created flower crowns and wildflower bouquets that are so reminiscent of the Brandywine Valley. Photographed by Juliana Laury and styled & planned by Shannon of Bottle Pop Party Co., the shoot turned out so beautifully and we're honored to have it featured on the best of the best in wedding blogs, Style Me Pretty. Read all about our inspiration and see the rest of the gallery here.

An Award-Winning Moroccan Boho Sweetheart Table



Last month, we partnered up with our favorite wedding planners, Bottle Pop Party Company, to create an over-the-top, spectacular Sweetheart Table for the Top Table Competition! The competition took place at the non-profit City of Hope's annual "Let Them Eat Cake" competition. We gathered with the area's best bakers & designers at the Doubletree in Philadelphia to put together a phenomenal show! We're happy to report that together, we took home first place in the Top Table contest!


With only a 5 foot square space to work with, we loaded up every square inch with colorful details.  From the wooden arch, draped with sparkling fabrics and Moroccan lanterns to the layers of beaded pillows on top of the rug, we stuck to a a blue, green and purple color palette with pops of hot pink.


By combining several different varieties of flowers including ranunculus, amnesia roses, hydrangea and orchids, we created a color blocking effect that was visible from across the room! We then added a garland of the same flowers under the glass table top that flowed through the carved Moroccan table and draped down onto the ground.









We had so much fun putting together this elaborate table and are so excited that the show guests decided that it was the best in show!
