Styled Shoot With West Elm Scarsdale

Here are more lovely images from the styled shoot we did recently with a fantastic group of collaborators. (For part one, see Thinking Inside The Box.)

We composed the bridal bouquet and centerpiece arrangements with loose, romantic blooms in a soft color palette of cream, lavender, blush and green. Dahlias played a starring role, supported by roses and hydrangea. Furniture and accessories in rustic wood and gleaming metal gave the set a a modern and glamorous look. Inspired?

We Love: Faceted Glass Terrariums from West Elm

by Rachel Trimarco

We were so inspired by the way Helen Guzman, of Bonito Designs, displayed roses like precious jewels at a recent shoot. It’s easy to imagine more ways to use these glass terrariums and boxes by West Elm. They would make exquisite table card holders. Or, fill one with a few berries, a citrus fruit or a sprigs of herbs, to display next to the description of a signature wedding cocktail. At home, use one on a bedside or coffee table, to display wedding keepsakes like the ribbon and pearls that adorned your bouquet, your groom’s bow tie, or the jeweled comb you wore in your hair.

Thinking Inside the Box

by admin

We recently spent the day in Brooklyn, working with a talented team, on a styled shoot. Helen Guzman, of Bonito Designs, displayed perfect blush roses and delicate sprays of baby’s breath in beautiful glass boxes and a French country glass canister. We used a simple, wooden box to create a centerpiece of Dahlias and wildflowers.

All these boxes reminded us to always think outside of the box; to look for inspiration everywhere and consider how objects around us can be used in creative wedding flower designs. Remember this next time you plan a dinner party or holiday at home. Look around and experiment by using your own home decor items– small mirrors or frames, china tea cups, carafes, canisters– in unique floral centerpieces.
