Rock and Roll Decor at the Pierre Hotel

Our design team did an AMAZING job setting up this incredible table display at the Pierre Hotel for a swank networking event hosted by Grace Ormonde Wedding Style magazine.  There we met many talented vendors, including Ed Hafizov from Zorz Studios, who provided all the incredible photos for this blog. 

With our set up time slashed from 8 hours down to 3, and a long chaotic route through the crowded basement, this set up was definitely a challenge. Our hosts provided an eclectic list of inspirations for this wedding table design, including Summer, specific Pantone colors (in yellow & blue), Marie Antionette, Juicy Couture, and Rock and Roll. With these factors in mind, our designers brainstormed and pounded the pavements of New York, scouring the flower and fabric districts for materials to weave into a show stopper.

We agreed upon an airy gazebo-like structure, covered with moss and ringed with ivy bush as our mechanics, from which we could hang a crystal chandelier and top with candles in hurricane lamps.  Fresh floral blooms were arranged in a long loosely-draped garland which also contained swatches of yellow printed fabrics and hanging tassels.  We selected varieties of yellow and white flowers for volume and a variety of textures:  asiatic lilies, oncidium orchids, mimosa clusters, proteas, roses, stock, hydrangeas, and craspedias. 

A decadent 'Blush Ruffle' linen from Nuage Designs dressed our table in a couture vibe.  Fantastic 'Leopard Print' chargers, blue braided goblets, and citrine 'Isla' square glass plates were provided by Something Different Party Rental.  Mismatched white and blue chairs from Luxe left no room for convention.

So far, so good.  Yet still we needed more.  Enter silver jewelry encrusted with blue gems, pearl spheres, skulls, and wild animals!  Every other place setting had a ring fit for a goth princess propped on a pillow of craspedia.  Silver skull bracelets posed as napkin rings and jewels sparkled everywhere.  A pair of parrots stood guard over the treasure, and a life-sized silver skull (under apothecary glass no less) served as an unforgettable focal point, like the better half of a Jolly Roger.
