The elegant escort table boasted a double tall crystal candelabra with four votives and a mound of speckled Phalaenopsis orchids that sat upon a satin cream linen and set the tone for this sophisticated wedding.

A simple white aisle runner lead the way to a stunning four post chuppah draped with delicate sheer voile fabric and framed with a lush floral banner of orchids, hydrangea, lisianthus, stock and roses in tones of purples, plums and white. Votive candles were hung from the canopy for a soft glow. Lucite chairs, crystal candelabras on either side of the aisle and white pillar candles in glass cylinders illuminated the ceremony space for a weightless and ethereal atmosphere.

The ceremony space was later transformed into a reception area complete with a dance floor. The guest tables were dressed in white linens, table numbers in carved wooden frames, votive candles in crystal lattice holders and one of two centerpieces; Half of the guest tables received tall glass garnier vases with a mostly white asymmetrical arrangement and accents of deeper purple flowers. The other half of the tables received tall candelabras with darker purple flowers and white or cream accents. The elegantly designed wedding cake was finished with a mound of speckled Phalaenopsis orchids and surrounded by the bridesmaids’ bouquets.
