Texture Part Three: Materials

An event rich in texture and imagination will not soon be forgotten.  Gone are the days of matchy-matchy decor; people want depth and individuality!  The perfect blend of  "smooth" and "rough" is a great platform for texturizing  the decor plan.  The materials used are imperative!  Stout succulents and delicate orchids mix well with the richly textured hydrangia or the impossible whorls of the garden rose or ranunculus.

Texture: Part Two: Height and Variance

       A mixture of pillars, votive and taper with assorted heights;
herbal boughs add continuity.

Another wonderful idea to add richness and depth to your event is to vary the height and scope of your tables.  To avoid the "coolie cutter" look of completely identical tables mix the size, shape and placement of centerpieces and focal points.  Mind you, keep the theme consistent and your overall look will have one of rich cohesion.

Texture: Part One- Subtle Texture with Linens

Texture is such an integral part of overall design and richness.  Better Homes and Gardens's article "Make an Impact with Texture" noted, "Color and pattern definitely make a statement. Texture may not be as obvious, but the impact can be just as dramatic. Make conscious choices about how and where you add texture and your decor will thank you."


So true, so true!  Texture can be subtle, a lush tablecloth or a tablecloth with subtle but elegant details, instead of the standard linen.

Sonya and Shahryar: Bold and Traditional

Yellow Canary had the honor of working with Sonya and Shahryar on their 2013 wedding at the Hilton Cincinnati Neatherland Plaza.  We loved the details of this wedding so much we thought we would share some of their non-floral photos as well!   Photos by: Steve Lyons Wedding Photography.
