Tabletop Tuesday - Modern Dimensions

Changing seasons is a wonderful transition when BOLD colors become the forefront or backdrop to modern dimensions of square serving plates, half moon bowls, long neck vases with sprinkles of votive candles on a bed of taupe linen.  What seems to be an array of different shapes and sizes ironically offer the eye different levels of attraction to include a conversational piece.   This grounded only by natures passionate Scarlet alstromeria, a well placed surge of Apricot vanda orchids and pop of sun nestled in a wreath of earthy Cilantro green....creatively bringing the outside  - inside with style.

DIY Thursday - "Unique Containers"

     

  

                                      

We were inspired to write this post for our DIY Brides.  Whether it be a Wedding, dinner, or private event these quic tips will come in handy.  We offer some inspiration and guidance for brides who seek classy and minimalistic centerpieces without breaking the bank.  There's a classic request of 1-3 immersed or floating flowers in cylindar vases with lots of candles for our DIY bride.  So to zet up this request we recommend using unique containers instead of cylindars.  When you present style flower petals or stems in unique containers it automatically glams up your blooms.  You may already have your favorite bloom in mind but here are a few of our recommendations: Cymbiduim Orchids, Phalaenopsis Orchids, Calla Lillies (when stems are placed underwater the become flexible and bendable), (Hydrangeas (great full bloom), Vanda Orchids and Roses (for its best presentation make sure you sit them in warm water to open up the bloom). These blooms are sure to give you a lovely presentation without breaking the bank.

Always keep in mind when you are styling with a few stems or petals the container is very imporatant.  Our recommendation is to always measure or request the size the container opening.  This will give you heads up whether you need more or less blooms to have a full styled centerpiece.  The largest impact we've seen are clustered mini centerpieces with candles alongside of the centerpieces to offer illumination.  If offers the appearance of abundance and creativity.  With these tips you should accomplish a romantic and lovely look and experience for your guests to enjoy.

The sculpture is simply stunning adorned with Phalaenopsis Orchids, Vanda Orchids, Calla lillies, Roses, Carnations, and Dendrobium Orchids. To top off this stunning installation Mr. Libby also included what appears to be a beautiful over sized gold medallion attached to the side of the sculpture and also used on the bottom base of the design.  Mr Libby deserves a standing ovation for this absolutely stunning floral sculpture.

Where is the love?

New York City 2013 Spring Bridal Market has quickly come and gone leaving us with a glimpse of wedding trends for the upcoming year.  With Stellar Style’s love for romantic details we couldn’t miss the chance to write about the statement floral hairpieces that were taking the runway by storm.

These bold colorful flower crowns or hair wreaths are inspired by the 1960’s flower child and are quickly becoming a popular choice with brides.  Floral wreaths should be just how you want it, chic and subtle or huge oversized and colorful.  They can be worn with hair up or down, don’t be afraid to be creative.

Any bride would feel beautiful and whimsy in a hair wreath, but keep in mind balance is key.  You don't want your headpiece competing with your gown.

Here are samples of floral wreaths that caught our eye.
