A taste of winter…

We have to admit that the weather has caught us off-guard! We’re scurrying around the icy studio with blankets wrapped around our hips while preparing for this weekend’s weddings. Even though the temperature is certain to soar again soon, which is the typical see-saw climate associated with March month, we decided that Ilke van Vollenhoven’s reception décor will provide the perfect “winter wedding teaser” for this week…

It was a homey feast held at Rickety Bridge Winery where we utilized the venue’s dark wooden interior, to create a balmy farm feel. A variety of wooden - & bark baskets were combined with glass and mesh wire containers and filled with flowers in distinctive tones of tangerine, pale gold and brown. We combined the flowers with interesting seasonal berries, pebbles and beads for added character. The overall effect was reminiscent to a cosy wooden cabin, with a smouldering fireplace tucked away in the misty mountains of Austria.
