edition I 2014: oh happy day!

May 9, 2014 by weddingsar

InspiredBy_Edition1_2014

With spring and summer weddings just around the corner, we asked the team at Pigmint Flowers & Gifts to envision a setting—perhaps for a rehearsal dinner or small, intimate wedding—fit for a fun-loving bride and groom. Using the clean architecture of Springdale’s Fairlane Station as a backdrop, they created a bright, citrus-inspired fête.

See the images and story straight from Edition I of 2014, as well as many bonus photos! Prepare to be spring-inspired:

RP_aha_140314-8016 RP_aha_140314-8044

A small sideboard, made from a painted door and wooden slab, is the perfect spot to serve the light appetizers to guests. The Pink Piano garden roses, which are also used in the centerpiece arrangements, create a simple, one-flower bouquet, while cut kumquat branches carry over the citrus theme.

RP_aha_140314-8051

Preppy pinks, garden-inspired greens and imaginative shades of coral, peach, and amber create the cheerful palette. Using the floral colors as a starting point, Pigmint worked with Eventures to select linens and dinnerware to coordinate with the hues. The goal was to create a spectrum of shades within the palette rather than to match everything exactly. The dramatic contrast of brights against the black-and-white setting makes for a modern look. Barn-style doors at either end of the room open to invite guests to mingle indoors and outside.

RP_aha_140314-8052 RP_aha_140314-8057 RP_aha_140314-8060 RP_aha_140314-8061

The table’s three centerpiece arrangements feature Cherry Brandy standard roses, which have a coral orange exterior and open to reveal amber hues, as well as bright Pink Piano garden roses and kumquat branches grouped together in bleached wood containers.

RP_aha_140314-8072

Contemporary acrylic boxes hold popcorn to snack on before dinner is served. A variety of toppings, including Early Bird Catering’s signature dill seasoning, allow guests to personalize the treat to their liking.

RP_aha_140314-8082

Mary’s Rose, a rosemary-infused vodka lemonade made by Early Bird Catering, is a colorful signature drink. Lemon slices and mint sprigs not only add garnish to the glasses, but also additional flavor. Small polka-dot straws with letterpress jewel toppers mimic the setting’s color scheme.

The Fairlane Station sign hangs outside the main entrance.
