For part 2 of my interview with Oh How Charming, Lisa wanted to share with us the design concepts and some images from one of her recent weddings.
OHC: For Sara & Ian’s wedding, we mixed and matched several core design elements to create the general vibe Sara and Ian wanted (a very Tony Duquette)…mercury glass, an abundance of phalaenopsis orchids, succulents, vintage china, mirrored surfaces, zebra patterns, and a very Viceroy-esque monogram.
The dinner reception was beyond gorgeous. Sharon and Ashley at Floracopia created stunning residential-like floral arrangements using an insane amount of crisp white phaleonopsis orchids, dutch hydrangea, and just the tiniest mix of succulents for a little unexpected detailing. The arrangements were housed in an eclectic mix of mercury glass and smaller vintage china vessels.
Barker Decor cut custom mirrored tops for all of our round tables which added the perfect amount of sparkle to the dinner reception. For the china and glassware — we used all platinum patterned china, platinum banded glassware, and a gorgeous platinum banded charger from my friends at Tabella. Carlos and Anna at Tabella also supplied the perfectly simple “vertical pintuck” linens which were a great backdrop for the eclectic mix of decor on each table. And…my darlings Sara and Ian allowed me to use a zebra napkin on half of our tables (white hemstitch on the others). It was the little nod to Tony Duquette that we needed to complete our look.
As the final surprise of the evening…my dear friends at the Vanilla Bake Shop set up the most insane “Marie Antoinette” inspired dessert bar which was devoured within minutes.
