SPECIALTY PACKAGES 2007 (PRESTON
BAILEY SIGNATURE WEDDINGMOONS)
The Floral Elegance Collection:
Amidst the romantic setting of arched gazebos to the minute
details of the groom's boutonniere, white pagoda flowers emphasize the drama of
divine romance. The Floral Elegance Collection uses the
existing gazebos and enhances them with silk decor elements. The location decor
consists of two hanging ornaments of one large pagoda flower ball with small
pagoda flower balls above and below. The ornament is suspended with a ribbon and
has three sewn pagoda garlands at the bottom with pagoda garland between the
two. Bridal bouquet is a pagoda flower ball with a pearl wristlet. The table
center- pieces consist of one tall pagoda topiary and a
low, potted centerpiece in terra cotta. The topiary pagoda
flower ball sits on a rope-wrapped dowel with a small vine spiraling into the
base. This is all sitting in a terra cotta pot with pagoda flowers at the base.
Green floor length linen will enhance the setting along with
ivory satin and tulle chair covers for the bride and groom and two guests. The
cake consists of matching pagoda flowers in sugar to adorn a two-tier, stacked
cake on a clear glass cake stand.
The Water Lily Collection: Inspired by the vibrant
aquatic flower, this collection showcases these pink petaled wonders and carries
them throughout the entire wedding and reception. The Water Lily Collection
features vibrant pinks that infuse passion among this collection of cymbidium
orchids and the delicate spreading water lilies. Gathered in sophisticated
silver Tussie Mussie, deep pink cymbidium orchids are brought together and
accented with folded variegated leaves to create the
bride's bouquet and a single cymbidium orchid makes the boutonniere. Green and
red silk leaves with branches, burgundy cymbidium orchids and vibrant water
lilies covering a "door frame" style arch surround the bride and groom. A tall
glass vase with pink water lilies is the table's second centerpiece in a terra
cotta pot. Hot pink silk linens welcome the green leaf silk placemats
accompanied by a glass charger and large water lily to hold a place card. Hot
pink tulle chair covers enhanced with two pink water lilies on the back are for
the bride and groom and two guests. All of this is enhanced by the delicious
two- tier designed cake on a glass cake stand.
The
Seascape Collection: This collection captures the
uniquely romantic setting of a tropical seaside wedding by gloriously accenting
it with white daisies that evoke a jubilant sense of joy. The Seascape
Collection is fresh, innovative and contemporary. Incorporating a beautiful silk
panel screen of daisies and enhanced by gentle touches of white linen, this
screen is meant to be set on a beach framing the ocean as the dramatic backdrop.
The bridal bouquet is a cluster of white gerbera daisies tied with variegated
leaf and raffia with a matching white daisy boutonniere.
The table is accented by a daisy table runner and daisy-wrapped votive candles.
The linen is a palm leaf color green floor-length cloth. A clear glass charger
plate sits gently on a daisy place mat with a white linen daisy tied napkin. The
cake is decorated with a pale yellow butter cream dotted with sugar daisies on a
glass cake stand.
The Crystal Collection: The purity and passion of
romance unfolds with the supreme elegance of white roses accented with delicate
sea shells and conch shells filled with regal orchids. The Crystal Collection
includes a ceremony on the beach underneath a magnificent and traditional white
rose arc; a wedding cake reception with elaborate seashell, orchid and rose
center- pieces and a romantic dinner for two under
Preston's Signature Crystal Wedding Tree. The bride's
bouquet is a classic cluster of roses enhanced by banana
leaves and tied with sheer silk organza ribbon and the groom's boutonniere is
white rose and white cymbidium orchids or a small cluster of shells from the
sea. The aisle is decorated with conch shells filled with orchids and silk
orchid petals scattered on the ground. An ensemble of three musicians will
provide the background music. A white organza ruffle
overlay holds the large shell covered bowl filled with roses and white orchids
and a large fluted glass vase filled with seashells topped with a profusion of
white roses. White orchids grace the center of the table. A white rose petal
place mat holds a clear-glass charger plate and white linen napkin tied with
raffia accented by tiny seashells. The two-tier cake has white rose sugar
flowers on a clear glass cake stand. Palm frond hand fans
provide accent decor. The signature "Crystal Wedding Tree"
with votives, crystals and orchids hanging from tree branches is set for the
most romantic candlelight dinner in an intimate garden.
Please Note: -All Preston Bailey Signature Packages
listed above are at an additional cost.
-All decor items for each collection are created using
high quality silk floral from some of the finest purveyors
in the world. Bride has choice of either fresh floral or
keepsake silk for her bouquet. Please keep in mind that
fresh floral is not allowed to be taken through US
Customs. For a nominal charge, why not have fresh flowers
for the ceremony and take home the silk keepsake!
