La Vie en Rose Design Blog

Our tablescape at Tampa’s Museum of Art fuses floral and decor… into a modern masterpiece. Floral and fabric intertwining… adding richness to the cold formed lucite slab. Crystal and glass play off one another to add firmness to the billowing flowers. Yet the orchids manage to break away… cascading to the floor in a race to free itself from the structure. Flames dance freely… flickering… flamboyantly. Just as you feel complete… one looks beyond the obvious… drawing the eye deeper… upwards to the reflected University of Tampa skyline. Enjoy!

Our bouquet and tablescape is on the cover and in the main feature of the latest Tampa Bay Weddings Magazine Summer 2011 Issue.

We are fortunate to have such an amazing group of professionals working with us on this cover feature. All images were captured on medium format film by Gina Leigh. Credits below…

Tampa Bay Wedding Magazine… our floral bouquets are on the cover of the winter 2010 and spring 2010 issues. Tampa Bay Weddings Magazine shares their creative vision with us for the winter and spring covers… which allows our design aesthetic to shine. We are responsible for the decor which includes… wall fabric draping, led wall washing, ice chiavari chairs, damask linen, napkins with cattleya orchid blooms, gold beaded chargers, crystal stemware, votive candles and floral centerpieces. The floral bouquet makes a bold statement using only pink peonies of varying hues accented with crystal initials. All components from the decor, floral, model, gown, hair and makeup… bring the creative vision to life. Dave Alderman captures the image for the spring cover.

For Winter our design is an all white hand tied bouquet with peonies, cymbidium orchids, phalaenopsis orchids, lilac and ostrich feathers… frosted with crystal studs. A crystal snowflake continues the theme while ice blue light illuminates the image. Nicholas captures the image for the winter cover. Let us know your thoughts on the covers…
