Design from an inspiration: What inspires you?

I marvel those who get their inspirations from just about anything. As a designer in the wedding industry, I often encourage my brides to look into fashion magazine, Home decor magazine, their closet or even their surroundings for inspirations. I remember one day Aileen went to the studio with a cut-out of a tulle dress from Issac Mizrahi. I had a puzzeled look on my face as I waited for an explanation. ’This is my inspiration for my tabletop!’ was her answer. She wrapped her head around this cute pink tulle dress and designed this gorgeous tabletop using the same elements. All from a dress. What inspires YOU?

Pink peonies and gold tabletop

It’s that time of year when peonies are in full bloom, and we couldn’t be more excited. Their delicate scent, softness, and infinite amount of petals all send my heart a flutter. The season only last for a few weeks out of the year, and we try to take full advantage of these glorious beauties. Here we played with the colors pink and gold to create an over-the-top and opulent tablescape. Sarah Bernhardt peonies play the star in this centerpiece. Its abundant petals lend well to our love for things lush and feminine. His and her chairs adorned with flowers and streaming leis would make it difficult for any couple to want to get up and leave them for the dance floor. Add a floral table runner of white hydrangea, spray roses, and orchid leis as well as silk box favors embellished with crystals and you’re in flower heaven.
