This coming September I will be designing my good friends Liz and Jordan's wedding. Today I made a mock centerpiece for her to see before they move to California.

The gorgeous wedding of Danielle and John which took place in June at Saybrook Point Inn was featured on 100 Layer Cake in the Real Weddings section. Danielle, the bride, had pulled her color palette board from their site when planning her wedding and we all used that to guide us throughout the planning.

Back in June I designed a wedding at the Old Saybrook Point Inn with a whimsical garden style theme. Lots of bright colors were incorporated from the brides fabulous shoes to the place settings to the flowers. It was all about fun! Peonies, Dahlias, Roses, Ferns and other fun elements were used to create a textural and whimsical feel. Black pedestal urns and ceramic containers were used for centerpieces.

Amazing paper flower lanterns created by the bride and her mother! The bride requested that each table center
