Whilst some couples may choose light and airy romantic design schemes for their weddings, Falon and Paul and their wedding planner, Lisa Stoner of Lisa Stoner Events, came to Lana with a vision of grandeur that was dark and moody with an air of mystique.
It was a concept Lana was zealous to undertake. And the results?
Simply divine.
Working closely with Falon and Lisa, Lana was intrigued by the chic, modern club vibe. The ceremony and reception, held indoors at The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes, were to be transformed into an environment that was rich with a black palette accented with white flowers and lush greenery.
After their brainstorm sessions, Lana went to work designing the floral scheme. Falon’s bouquet consisted of white long stem, open garden roses hand tied with a silk ribbon while Paul chose a clean look with no boutonniere.
For the ceremony, inside a section of The Ritz-Carlton Ballroom, Lana perched four stunningly ornate floral pieces at the back of the altar while low greenery, candles, and accents of delicate white blooms graced the sides of the aisle. The glass containers and clear pedestals in front of a luxurious gray wall of fabric gave a sleek look to the formal room.
As guests retreated to the Tuscany Ballroom for the evening’s celebration, they were greeted by a swanky setting that looked like a scene out of a movie. The ballroom was divided into sections by white light drapes and 3x3 oversized gray planter boxes (constructed by Lana’s husband Art) bursting with floral beneath the lights, creating intimate gathering spaces throughout the room.
Sections for dinner sparkled with candles amongst a variety of modern floral centerpieces of anenomies, tulips, bleached ruscus, smilax, classic spray roses, and elaeagnus branches in creative vases placed on tables drenched in soft black.
Additional focal points included dark colored bars with gold accents situated near deep emerald couches for conversation as well as the wedding cake near the piano (setting just the right musical mood!).
In addition to the posh floral and lighting, a life-size “Vogue” magazine cover was turned into a photo booth box where the bride, groom, and guests posed throughout the evening for their very own cover photo shoot. And while this was a fabulous experience for guests, they loved the confetti cannons on the specially designed vinyl dance floor at the end of the night just as much!
Falon and Paul’s wedding, which was lavish and luxurious from top to bottom, was quite a delight for Lana to be a part of. From unique set-ups to trendy vases to alluring surprises, it was truly a night to remember.
