Sparkle Beach!

I

A Sparkling Beach Bat Mitzvah
4.10.2010
Kol Ami Congregation   Elkins Park, PA
 
This sunset soiree at Congregation Kol Ami (Elkins Park) beamed with glamour – reflecting the guest of honor’s vibrant personality and blissful mood for the evening.  Designed and staged by La Petite Fleur, Rachel’s Bat Mitzvah was reminiscent of those warm beach days when sunlight glistens on the water.  
 
An original “R” logo branded every detail of the event—having been debuted on the custom-designed invitations, which even featured an “R” postal stamp.  The beauty of the beach abounded as an oversized cymbidium orchid sphere beckoned guests to grab their hand-tied sand dollar place cards which guided them to their tables.
 
Guests celebrated among cocktail tables which featured bowls of cymbidium orchids floating atop a collection of shells and sparkling wire. The room was dressed in bright mango, lime and raspberry hues. Brilliant pinspotting perfectly illuminated all of the details in the ballroom.

The adult tables featured tall cylinders filled with curly willow branches that were draped with crystals and raspberry votives.  Other tables boasted slim containers of crystallized raspberry water, hydrangea and arching dendrobium orchids. The centerpieces sat atop lavish dot linens that were as whimsical as they were elegant.

Meanwhile, Rachel and her friends gathered around sheer sparkle-clothed tables that were finished with polka dot wrapped cylinders of green hydrangea (with Rachel’s logo, of course) and then accented by pretty jars filled with candy in coordinating sherbet shades.  
 
Finishing touches that had Rachel and her family tickled pink were the gift card “gift box” and the custom-made drink umbrellas for the color-palette-inspired drinks, which included Cosmos and Shirley Temples.

Destination Sophistication

Carrie and Bobby
October 2009
Palm Beach, Florida

La Petite Fleur transcended the usual with this traditional, yet exceptional, Palm Beach wedding. 

For Carrie and Bobbie refined fun was the natural impetus for their beachy love affair.  Therefore, the design team at La Petite Fleur worked to create harmony between the location’s bright atmosphere and the couple’s sophisticated energy and, subsequently, the results were stunning. The suite of printed pieces – from the save the date card and invitation ensemble, to the table and escort cards – showcased the event’s signature element, a palm tree (which when letterpressed on the invitation card exuded total elegance) and a classic navy and lime color palette.

Tropical florals dazzled guests who traveled from all over the US to toast the happy couple. From initial wreaths on the church gates, to lush orchid centerpieces, native Floridian blooms created the landscape for this sophisticated soiree.

LPF Had a Ball with Ancillae Assumpta Academy



This past Saturday evening, La Petite Fleur supported Ancillae Assumpta Academy’s annual Blue and White Ball at the Ballroom at the Ben in Philadelphia. This year, the event benefited the Wyncote school’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Lab, which is currently under construction.

Using school colors (blue and white, of course) and the STEM lab’s curriculum, which includes LEGO robotics, as inspiration, the LPF design team constructed centerpieces that merged education with elegance. 

Playing off the science aspect, we designed table décor that utilized an abundance of clean-line glassware. Several of the centerpieces included tall cylinders that showcased custom-designed wraps featuring the words Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.  Suspended above these wraps in the top third of the cylinders were intricate LEGO Bionicle sculptures and K’nex pieces. To complement the rigidity of the cylinder pieces, bubble bowls filled with blue water, loops of grass and a white Gerbera were nestled at each base. 

Alternating tables featured tall cylinders with the custom wrap, blue water and streams of white cymbidium orchids.  Completing this high-minded look was a set of five beaker-like bud vases with orchids and tall grass.

Overall, for the La Petite Fleur team, discovering how to work this theme into a fun, yet sophisticated, concept was as cool as school!
