Trend Watch: French Garden

Think soft ivory and blush pink tones, whimsical floral arrangements and gold vintage accents. Spring 2014 is sure to be beautiful!

With the holidays behind us we can't help but start dreaming up some stunning new decor inspirations for spring and summer. This year it's all about soft pink linens, ruffles and floral accents. We like to call it a vintage garden inspiration with a hint of french charm.

This season you will see gold popping up everywhere. If you are looking for a gold table linen try a more muted gold, one that is softer rather than bold. For your table top accessories try to find pieces that look distressed and rustic to really capture that vintage theme. 

Use a dramatic centerpiece, like our Gold Candelabra, to act as the focal point of your table. Surround your centerpiece with overflowing arrangements of roses and peonies and intricate votives to bring a warm glow to your table.

It is all in the details! Add accessories that reflect the theme to pull the look together.

Our feather fans can be the perfect take away for guests!

When choosing linens think girly, pretty and soft. Lace or detailed overlays are a great way to go because of their light and airy feel. Our Pink & Gold Secret Garden overlay and our Rose Gold overlay are two stunning linens, full of joyful pink tones perfect for a head table or cake table.

If that wasn't enough here is a photoshoot that has inspired us!

We believe your cake table is where you can really show off your theme and play around with different textures and colours. This stunning photoshoot captures all of those beautiful pink tones and warm ivories and brings in some darker accent colours in the paper flower wall. We love the use of vintage gold trays and cake stands!

Bridal Bliss!

A little inspiration can go a long way.

We love to inspire brides, planners and others in the event industry. This is why we love sharing our custom designs to show you there are no boundaries when it comes to your event decor. Here is one of our latest designs - we know you're going to LOVE this!

What inspired us to come up with this stunning design was the latest up and coming trend in the bridal world, Tulle, and our intricate sparkling brooches. It inspired us to create this soft, elegant look that screams bridal!

We put this together at the Estates of Sunnybrook, and what a perfect setting it was for this fabulous design. The charming bay window is the perfect back drop for any head table.

Our custom Table Top Chandelier framed the crystal chandelier perfectly. This custom Susan Murray design is the perfect way to highlight a head table in a fun and unique way.

This shimmering overlay, called White Gardenia, is exclusive to Susan Murray. It is one of our specialty pieces that really creates a focal point at your event - perfect for a head table! 

This linen and overlay combination picks up the light perfectly creating a soft glow. We love this new fabric because it is so versatile. It could work perfectly for a white winter wedding or pair it with some brightly colored florals and a color napkin and it can work as a soft spring look, just like the one we have created here.

We've used our brooches in a number of different ways to tie in the theme and to add even more sparkle to the table. These card holders are a rich and elegant way to compliment these regal menus.

These are two of our newest event accessory creations. These custom chair accessories have just the right amount of bling and feathery tulle for a bride on her special day. What better way to highlight the bride at a shower or at the wedding reception than a chair like this! Our ivory tufted pillow with the soft ruffled tulle creates a whimsical chair back, as if you're floating on a cloud.

Our large chiffon roses are such a classic yet versatile piece for decor design. They can be used in so many ways, but this is one of our favorites. The ruffled tulle is like leaves cascading down the back of the chair. These are the perfect accent for our simple Tiffany Crystal Chivari Chair.

The florals were breath taking to say the least! They really brought the entire look together. The pops of pink and purple with a few greens amongst the soft white flowers were the perfect way to balance the table. 

The five tier cake was a beautifully detailed work of art. Everything from the hand crafted flower topper to the silver draping was perfection. It went well with our design - a dream cake for any princess bride!

Cake by Patricia's Cake Creations

To compliment the florals and add a bit more color to the table top we used our Lilac Panama Pin Dot Napkin.

It wouldn't be a Susan Murray design without a few detailed accessories!

A variety of small votives were scattered around the table. The soft glow of the candles really made all of the bling shine!

 

In keeping with our theme a small detailed brooch was attached to our Lilac Panama Pin Dot Napkin.

Draped around the cake was our Lilac Reversible Satin with a diamond chain.
