This was another event I was honored to create for the same convention that I just posted below. However, this WAS the grand daddy event of the week and what it made it so was the 120 or so in attendance were the cream of the crop of the event industry, nation wide, and it was held in the Capela of the most gorgeous Grand Del Mar.
And I got to do the flowers! Wow, just amazing!
So Paul Barnett shot this for me too...a 17' tower of purple orchids, purple stained glass and candles creating a centerpiece for an X shaped table, which was then strewn with candles, and flowers, and fruit, and stunning linens and exquisite chairs...Wild Flower Linens and Chameleon Chairs
Then a few weeks later, my next adventure at this beautiful hotel brought me, Paige and Charles (the catering pros at the hotel) to a whole new creation...a stunning bridal coordinators event, that featured dresses from M Bride, set in the Capela (room looks a lot different without that 17' tower of purple orchids, huh?)
These images were taken by another talented photographer, Boyd Harris. Boyd's work is beautiful!
Carol Smith designed the most exquisite menu and place setting keepsakes for the coordinators that I have ever seen. I wish I could show you the invitation that she made for the party. Seriously they could have been sent to the Queen of England, they were that gorgeous! (I love her hats! Those of you that know me, know I tried to see her hats last year, but she wasn't there when I arrived...too bad! The queen that is, not Carol's hats...I don't think Carol wears hats?)
