Whimsical Garden Wedding
Inspiration is all around us and sometimes in the most unlikely places. At JMT Eventology we are always seeking inspiration from both current and classic designs, looking for fresh new ideas to breathe life into events. Our newest design came from a sample of the Christian Lacroix wallcovering of flowers blowing in the wind.
Interestingly enough, after seeing this photo I realized it, too, may have had a prior inspiration from the classic Botticelli painting ”The Birth of Venus”, a print of which is hanging in my house.
We decided to showcase this Wildflower Garden at the Las Vegas bridal show for Ravella at Lake Las Vegas. With their Tuscan inspired architecture and gardens this whimsical and lively setting was a perfect match.As with all designs it takes a team to bring the concept to fruition. Collaboration with an amazing team helps transform individual elements and provides new inspirations.
Our first stop was La Tavola linens which offers amazing textiles. Another twist of fate was that they had a match in their linens to a swatch we had been trying to match two years earlier! Their beautiful fabrics were the perfect accent to create the foundation for the table setting.
The next step was to develop the decor with a florist who we worked with many times before. The Enchanted Florist has a fresh perspective and was excited to help bring to provide their talents to help create the stunning hanging florals. The concept was to create something with wild flowers as their simple beauty is sometimes overlooked. In bringing both of the artistic inspirations to life Julie Reed Events offered her beautiful orange butterflies which we used in collaboration for a previous event. The great feature of this design is that it offers a cost effective but visually impactful presentation.The final step was the table. No garden party is complete without a tablescape. With the milk glass centerpiece ensemble we knew the setting needed to be unique. Our vintage plates showcased another recent trend similar to the shabby-chic concept with mix-match pieces.
One final essential piece that is sometimes forgotten or overlooked is lighting. No matter how spectacular of a design or event, if you do not have the proper lighting your guests may never realize all of the details and intricate work. RSVP Party Rental provided the wireless lighting to make sure we had the visual impact to accent the stunning overhead centerpiece.

If you love our inspiration for your event there are countless other ways to incorporate this design for both a simple bridal shower luncheon to a grand affair. One of the keys to creating your personalized version is understanding your space and incorporating your own sense of style.
While our booth design offers just a small glimpse into what can be showcased at an event we were met with such an amazing response from both Wedding Professionals and attendees at Bridal Spectacular on August 17 and 18, 2012. We perfected our concept with a slight variation which earned us the coveted Dazzle Award. What was even more rewarding and demonstrated we had achieved our goal of creating the emotional content for the space was when multiple attendees wanted to have their picture taken with the booth as the backdrop!
