A Westin Colonnade Wedding

Last weekend we decorated a wedding at the classic Westin Colonnade Hotel in Coral Gables. We used soft hues of white, blush, and light green for an elegant, romantic feel to this ceremony and reception.

We decorated the ceremony site with white and ivory flowers and a crystal garland to compliment the crystal Chiavari chairs.

The bride carried a cascading bouquet of Cattleya Orchids, Cymbidium Orchids, Dendrobium Orchids, Phalaenopsis Orchids, and Stephanotis.

The bridesmaids had nosegays with cream and antique pink Roses, light peach Spray Roses, and white Freesia.

We decorated the ceremony steps with candlelight - this is where the bride makes her entrance before walking down the aisle.

The place card table was decorated with a bed of Hydrangeas, Roses, Orchids, and Lilies, with Manzanita branches decorated with Orchid heads, hanging candles and crystals.

In the reception area we created three different designs for the tables,all featuring a mix of Hydrangeas, Roses, Orchids, Spray Roses, Stock, and Hanging Amaranthus.

To decorate the fountain, the main focal point of the room, we placed a tall centerpiece with Hydrangeas, Orchids, and Curly Willow branches with hanging candles, Rose petals and Gerbera Daisies in the water, and votive candles around the ledge.

Here are a few pictures of the Rotunda ballroom. It's a breathtaking setup, especially with the pin lights highlighting each table and all the votive candles lit.

Also, here is a great video made by Artistic Film Productions of the wedding day. It's so creative and artistic that we wanted to share.
