Logan and Matt cherished their mornings spent together reading the New York Times. So when it came time for the two of them to say “I Do”, they wanted to incorporate their cozy habit into their nuptials. Enter ~ Geranium Lake Flowers!

Logan and her friends & family handmade a gazillion paper flowers from old New York Times editions that Geranium Lake was able to incorporate into her bouquet. Logan continued the theme using the paper flowers as table decor and even swagging paper flower garlands across the reception space.

The overall feel for this gorgeous wedding was accentuated by their choice of venue. Located at the top of Mount Hood in Oregon, Timberline Lodge is an historic, landmark hotel {location of Stephen King’s “The Shining”}.  The couple chose the Silcox Hut on the grounds of the hotel to host both their ceremony and reception.

This cozy venue is super tiny, has a huge rock fireplace, and guests (and florists!) had to arrive by snowcat. There was no horror or “red rum” the day that Logan & Matt got married… only happy faces and a stunning display of love found over the New York Times.

From Gena ~ Ryan and I love art deco design and were inspired by the classic and clean lines of the Bentley Reserve building, which we chose as the venue for our wedding. In keeping with this simple, yet elegant design, we chose silver, white and black as our color scheme.

I love calla lilies and our florist, Laura Little from Floramor, showed me a picture of white and black calla lilies in bullet vases. I thought it was beautiful and chose it to be the centerpiece for the dinner tables.

The planning process was somewhat stressful because of all the decisions Ryan and I had to make and anxiety about whether everything would come together. Amy Nichols helped so much by keeping us on track, and coordinating between our different vendors.

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, thanks to Amy. It was the best day of our lives.

Gena’s stunning gown was designed by Jin Wang in San Francisco. Bridesmaids’ dresses were from the Dessy Collection.

What an absolutely gorgeous wedding celebration! Congratulations to Gena and Ryan and a big, big thank-you to Julie Mikos, Amy Nichols for sharing!

the photographs were all taken by the absolutely wonderful Impressions Photography

LOVE this one. Actually, of the table settings that you are going to see from Kelly today, this one is my favorite. I just think that a simple pink rose set on each table setting, paired with the simple breezy color palette is just lovely!

From Kelly…Pink rose blooms are just so so pretty.  On this table I wanted to create something with a light, effortless effect.  I like this for an indoor reception after a beach wedding- a brunch maybe?  We placed a single rose bloom on each taupe plate and then added the sea mist blue napkins under the plate.  This ties the candles to the base linen (apple green bengaline).  I scattered the pillar candles down the striped runner (natural sea colors) to add some unstructured character.

This one is a little more whimsical than the first…definitely geared towards a smaller affair, perhaps even an intimate but semi-casual rehearsal dinner. Love the hint of whimsy in the patterned dishware! Like I mentioned earlier, the photography is all by Impressions Photography and they are absolutely gorgeous.

We have so much more to come from Kelly at Weddings by Socialites and guess what, we have a pretty awesome surprise to coordinate with this feature!

Materials
Punch bowl, glass/silver/stainless from a antique malls, flea markets, or your grandmother’s silver chest
3 to 5 small orchids from a garden supply store or florist
Deer moss from a craft store

Notes from Tara

Place multiple orchids (depending on the size of the vessel)  in a silver punch bowl (a beautiful glass bowl will work too), fill in spaces with extra soil, then top with bits of moss. Surround the bowl with votive candles to add extra sparkle.  For more drama select orchids that accent the colors in your plates, glassware and linens.

So chic. Oh and Tara also put together a pretty fabulous table setting for all of you eco-chic brides out there. Coming up next!

I love the simplicity and elegance of each of these centerpieces. They seem so organic, so incredibly natural to me. Obviously, flowers are all natural, but there is just something unfussy and utterly beautiful about this particular set.
