Green and White

The client told me, “We want the party to be relaxing and fun, the flowers very simple and modern. We’d like a strong look in green and white. We also love candles. And we’d love to give away flowers to all the guests when they leave the party”
After I thought about it, I came up with a simple design that was also sophisticated.
When the guests entered, they found their escort cards on a wall of white and green cymbidiums orchids accented on top with phalaenopsis orchids.





In the cocktail area I used amaryllis in rectangular clear glass.




There were two basic centerpiece designs. In one I used 4 tall elegant vases filled with the bouquets of the phalaenopsis and dendrobium orchids, which the guests can carry home as bouquets when the party is over. Floating candles added to the elegance of the table design. The other centerpiece evolved from a design the client had seen in my portfolio. This consisted of a tall glass cylinder filled with submerged white tulips and topped with an arrangement of elephant ear leaves. Surrounding the cylinder was a rectangular arrangement using green mums, accented by floating candles.

Blue and Yellow can make you feel warm in the winter

It was an October weekend, but it was bitterly cold. And the party was in a tent! The client wanted it to be fun and cheerful, and had chosen blue and yellow as the colors I had to work with. Yes, you are right those are not easy colors to put together. If you are not careful it will look like an Easter Party.
The client, Amy, had also told me that she loves crystal, and she was really looking forward to a party that would be different, unique. Actually she used the word “delicious”. After a lot of agonizing on my part, I decided that a blue tablecloth with centerpieces of yellow flowers (French tulips, calla lilies, dahlia, roses and orchids) was the way to make the blue and yellow design. Then we custom made five clear crystal ball chandeliers to hang over five other tables, each giving the impression of raindrops falling down onto arrangements of blue flowers with yellow tablecloths.
And that night when Amy walked in to the tent, I saw she was crying. They were tears of happiness.
Yes, she loved it very much.

Fall color in New York City

In the beginning of October Tantawan Bloom produced floral arrangements in fall-season colors for a beautiful party on Park Avenue in the center of Manhattan.
As the guests entered they found themselves walking under three “seating card” trees, each decorated with thousands of cymbidium orchids with the seating cards hanging from the trees’ branches.
The table centerpieces were of two different designs. The first used a seven foot tall tree containing brown-orange cymbidium orchids with other fall-color flowers and accents of smilax. The trees were also hung with custom made lanterns containing tea lights tree, casting a romantic glow on the table and the guests. The other table design consisted of simple red floral arrangements at four different heights, each accented on top with a pillar candle for an understated elegance.
The guests felt they were sitting down for dinner in an extravagantly beautiful fall garden in the middle of the most exciting city in the world.
And that was another successful and beautiful night.
