featured : Ruffled Blog { jen and moe at Marvimon }

This was my first wedding at Marvimon House is LA and I was equal parts excited and and thinking this is going to be a lot of work…. 🙂 Jen and Moe collected over 100 vintage silver containers and each of them were to contain the perfect mini arrangement or succulent garden. When we first met and were figuring out how many vessels they needed. 9 groups of three per table. So 9 per table times 12 tables plus more to be placed all over the venue – I thought they were gonna be like everyone else and give up after 30 and come back and tell me “we are only going to do 3 vessels per table now it was just to much work…”. But no, not Jen and Moe they came back with I think 140 little vintage silver masterpieces two weeks before the wedding. If you are a florist reading this think about planting 70 little succulent gardens and then making 70 more mini arrangements all eclectic and different. This is work and to top it off I was in love with this wedding and didn’t want my staff to touch it… I spent days creating. I think I planted on Monday and Tuesday and then spent the whole day with an assistant Thursday to do the mini arrangements and this was on a weekend we had 6 weddings where I normally don’t do more than bridal bouquets and overseeing everything….

Anyway I absolutely, positively love this wedding. I love the couple and there sense of style and I love the pictures from Brandon Kidd who is one of the best photographers in the world in my opinion. I love the dessert buffet and I adore the table and the runners….I love, love, love how Jen and Moe describe their style……

I wanted something slightly vintage, Moe wanted something modern, and we both wanted an urban city feel. So we tried to incorporate each of those things into a cohesive overall look and feel. Most importantly we wanted something fun and celebratory instead of formal and programmed. So we made sure that whatever we decided, in the end everyone would walk away feeling like they participated in the day and had the best time.

Here are the florals and head over to Ruffled to see the whole wedding…..

the cutest cake top ever!!!!!
