Sample Tables from The Whimsical Occasions Bridal Show on 9/26

We were lucky enough to be the exclusive floral and design company at the recent Whimisical Occasions Wedding Event Show this past Sunday at the Crofoot in Pontiac. It was a great facility and I would love to have a wedding there. We designed and created six table-scapes with help from Chair Covers and Linens, Sweet and Savory Bake Shop, and Special Occasions. They all pulled together to help bring my vision to life.

This is a design I called Natural Chic. I LOVED this design.
I used 3 linens for this table. The top layer was a burlap (yes, I said Burlap) linen, under that was a lace linen, and a basic ivory linen under that.
I used a real birch log to serve as the center of the table which was surrounded by fresh flowers in mason jars, and bird shaped bud vases. I used antique looking soy wax candles that were left over from a past bride. She was kind enough to give them to me and I think super happy to have them out of her house :)


Shot of the bouquets I created for the fashion show


This was my other favorite table!!! I called it "Ridiculously Fabulous" There were only two colors purple and silver. It was a totally blinged out table and I loved every minute of putting it together. I used purple carnations (which look great if used correctly), lots of crystals, candles, and branches. I added orchids to the silver branches for an extra pop of fabulous. I had a plum satin table linen with a silver sparkle table runner. I had a square arrangement made of carnations with a mirror on top with silver tea light holders. I had the most amazing silver chargers and chivari chairs as well. This table will be featured in a real wedding next year at the Motor City Casino Sound Board.





This was a fun and easy table which was green, black and white. There was a black and white damask table linen under the green clover table linen. I used hydrangea and orchids for the flowers.
I called this table "Fall In Love" It consisted of a brown table linen with orange, yellow, and red flowers. I had a tall cylinder vase in the middle with branches and a few fresh blooms mixed in.

I loved this arrangement as well. It was a pink and burgundy color scheme. In the arrangement I used hydrangea, orchids, and roses with a little filler mixed in.

I spoke with Deb from the sweet and savory bake shop and asked if she could contribute a cake centerpiece to one of our tables. I told her the colors were navy and silver. I couldn't have been any happier with the cake she brought. I think it matched the table awesome!


I want to thank my sister for the fabulous pictures she took.

Katie and Greg were such a sweet couple and I was honored to work with them. Meeting their parents, I could see where they get there genuine personalities from.
We provided them with their chair covers and all of the floral for their wedding. We also provided late night bouquet wrap up from the flowers from the centerpieces for their guests to take home.
Katie was kind enough to share their wedding trailer with us.
Thanks Katie and Greg... It was an honor!

Review on Google

One of my recent brides gave us a great review on Google. I thought I would share it with you. Erin was such a sweet bride. Below are a couple pictures of her flowers.
THANKS ERIN! It was an honor to provide your flowers and linens.

talented, creative florist!‎‎
By Erin - Aug 13, 2010
I met Rachel (the owner) at a bridal show and won a free consultation with her. She is wonderful to work with! She did all the flowers for my wedding and the linens at the reception. She had creative ideas to help me stay in my budget, and I was thrilled with the flowers! So beautiful! Besides flowers and linens, Rachel also offers wedding planning services, vendor referrals, day of coordination, and much more. Definitely recommend All Things Creative!‎

Lisa and Frank's Trailer

Dan and I were lucky enough to work with Frank and Lisa, they are such an awesome couple!!! Here is their trailer. The groomsmen should have their own show because they are hilarious!!!! Do you recognize their officiant? It's my hubby!
We provided Frank and Lisa with Day of Coordination, the bouquets, and officiant services. I have to say, I was so happy with the way Lisa's bouquet turned out. She had me wrap it with the cuff from her mothers wedding dress.
