Feathers Galore

Peacock feathers in boutonnieres? Plume feathers in centerpieces and bouquets? You’d think the Celebrations’ design team has it out for the birds, but really we just love incorporating feathers when we can. They’re a diverse and versatile design element that can be utilized in any aspect of your wedding. Check out the different ways our talented design staff have used feathers!

A Wedding Fit for Snow White

Forget the seven dwarfs, this forest themed wedding is a dream come true. Filled with forest items including branches, earth tones, ferns, ornamental pods, grasses, moss, berries and even two hugging bears as a cake topper.  The ceremony evoked a very organic and naturalistic setting and featured several banana leaves.  This theme, based around the couple’s love of hiking and nature brought the great outdoors inside. The bridesmaids’ bouquets were displayed on the sweetheart table amidst swirling grape vines, brown birch log boxes, and tree bark.

Flood in Thailand

Due to the recent and terrible flooding that has overtaken Thailand, much of the world’s orchid crop has been destroyed. As the floodwaters recede from Bangkok, the outlook for the upcoming month’s orchid crop looks bleak. As with supply and demand, market prices will remain higher for imported orchid crops. The flower market is largely influenced by global events, flooding, government matters and import tariffs all alter what flowers are available at the moment. Below are pictures from one our orchid suppliers in Thailand and the devastation to their facility.

How do you spell ‘I Do’?

For 27 points and a lifetime of love, a groom proposed to his wife on a scrabble board. Luckily for him, she said ‘I do’ (4 points). Using this inspiration, Celebrations Design Group took the opportunity to personalize their wedding and make it uniquely theirs. Using scrabble pieces, CDG incorporated the scrabble theme into different elements of the wedding. Instead of table numbers, the couple opted for table destinations, corresponding to the letter on the escort card. This personalization based on their story and personalities added to the flair and memory of their wedding.
