I jumped at the chance to help my good friend Heather, of Eclectic Sage, set up for a wedding in late spring. The theme was Gatsby and she totally nailed the florals, complete with orchids, tropical leaves, short gold vases and tall clear vases for differentiating heights. I was not the photographer for this beautiful wedding, but I was delighted to snap some photos of her creations for her. Aren’t they stunning? I loved that their wedding planner, Gina Myers of La Cosa Bella Events, and the couple agreed to alternating linens. Some were black with gold sequins, others were a champagne colored crinkle fabric, and a third type were more of a raw silk linen in off white. The “art deco” font was everywhere and really tied everything together and especially brought the Gatsby-esque theme to life. If there’s anything I tell a couple makes a table complete (and is so simple to do) it’s have amazing table numbers. These look fabulous. Such a simple but distinctive detail! The sweetheart table chairs were capped off with a sequin-tie-pinched white linen and oversized black feather. Thank you for letting me come along to play the part of an Eclectic Sage team member for this gorgeous wedding design, Heather!
