Michele Coulon is the girl with the passion for cake, and chocolate...well, me too...but Michele is the cake designer...she created chocolate iron swirls and hand made chocolate dogwood blossoms, and calla lilies, to create this awesome work of art for Estancia Spa & Resorts' Wedding Coordinator Fete last weekend...And again...lucky me, we got to do the flowers and design of the event!
We created a base for the cake that was created from many different
foliages and textures...
Check out the frosting flowers mixed with the fresh flowers...I still wanna know how she made those dogwood out of chocolate!?
I'm on a "phal" fetish right now...they are so amazingly graceful, full of movement...the white butterfly orchid spikes, is
what I'm referring to, for those of you who don't speak florist...
also, love, love, love the rich chocolate eucalyptus foliage...and do you see that little succulent floating on the wire? Details...
this is the seating card table...we used birch logs, which we slit with a small hand saw, and slipped the seating cards into the slits, to keep the cards from blowing off the tables...I worked with many natural elements on the table top to achieve this uber natural look...sand, roc
ks, beans, wood...
Lemons and roses, and sunflowers, and sisal rugs and open panels filled with vases covered with interesting textures of fabric...fit perfectly on the lawn at the hotel!
Erika Hinshaw, the rock star at Estancia in the catering office, made sure everyone was comfy out on the lawn...pashminas for everyone!
Paul Barnett, maestro photographer, shared his view thru the camera! You do me justice each and every time Paul!
