I am slowly getting caught up showcasing all of the work we have done this year and am excited to show photos from this Under the Sea Mitzvah we did back in March. All of the photos shown here were taken by Paula Cella Photography. We worked alongside Tara from EBE on this event as the client was a family member of one of the key players at EBE.
This was a really fun event for us to design as our client’s son loved to scuba dive and loved anything to do with the ocean and fish. When we worked with the client we decided on a color palette of deep navy and black with accents of shades of blue and green (plants). This event was fun to design as it incorporated no florals but instead we worked with a unique window pane “aquariums”, shells, fish and water plants.
There was not assigned seating for this event so even though we did not have a need for a place card table we designed a cool coordinating entrance way piece for the ballroom. This display gave the illusion that the cylinder vases were going right through the table. The cylinders placed under the plexi and metal table that we provided were filled with sand and shells at different levels.
The cylinders on the top of the table are filled with shells, pond plants and even gold fish. I usually am very against using live fish in arrangements as they do have a tendency not to survive an event. Since the client really wanted them we did agree to using them only on the place card table and one of our breakdown people is now the owner of several goldfish! The base of these arrangements were accented with sand, shells and these cool sea urchins.
The reflection of the candles agains the glass was very beautiful and softened the whole look.
The guests then entered the ballroom where we created a whole lounge/cocktail reception feel in shades of blues, navy and black. We did a combination of couches and coffee tables, hi tops, low tables and some raised bar tables. I absolutely love the navy velvet couches they just added depth to the room and the fabric was very oceany.
The truss systems was decorated with netting and shells to add some additional ocean texture to the modern truss.
This long low plate glass vase incorporated gravel, sand, shells and floating candles and was placed on the coffee tables.
The candlelight really looked amazing against the deep navy and added depth to the room. As you can see from all the photos here, Beautiful Blooms is more than a floral design company we are a decor company and create designs that are original and tasteful no matter what event we are creating.
These tables had a trio of plate glass vases which were created to look like mini aquariums with gravel and pond plants.
These tall communal tables were provided by the facility so we added additional aquarium decor to them too. We brought in hi bar stools in black with deep navy cushions.
This was a really fun event for all of us to create! Enjoy the photos.
