A Real Blast

 Sarah Redelheim & Vincent Joyce

July 4, 2010

Normandy Farm  Blue Bell, Pennsylvania

Although the proposal was a surprise, it wasn’t shocking that newlyweds Sarah and Vincent Joyce planned a July affair at rustic Normandy Farm in Blue Bell that was both beautiful and a real blast! 

The couple knew they wanted their personalities to shine through every detail, so they chose wedding boutique La Petite Fleur in Glenside, PA, to fashion the festivities’ flowers, flourishes, and finishing touches.

With their love of friends, laughter (and Independence Day!) as inspiration, La Petite Fleur turned the Fourth of July into Sarah and Vinny’s personal holiday—creating a look for their wedding that was full of pizzazz and personality!

Boutique owner Leigh Karsch fashioned  a stationery suite, which included a black and silver pocket invitation, as well as escort and table cards emblazoned with a signature “firework flash” and finished-off with silver “Sparklers.”

The flowers were as unique and vibrant as the bride and groom. Sarah’s bouquet was an elegant collection of white calla lilies and roses accented with tiny crystals (for just a hint of sparkle), and the bridesmaid bouquets popped with color—featuring two designs of hot pink roses, a variety of mango-colored blooms, celosia, red berries and pink mini carnations.  Shimmery sweet were the flower girls wearing flower halos and carrying rose petal-filled baskets.  

The ceremony boasted a custom La Petite Fleur chuppa dressed in light, flowing white fabric. Meanwhile, lavender blooms and leaves, secured with trailing white satin, adorned the guest chairs. 

The reception décor was elegant, yet exuberant, and featured two styles of centerpieces.  Some tables featured various sized glass cylinders filled with brightly colored water and floating candles, while a collection of fuchsia glass cubes with single-colored bloom clusters in brilliant gem tones were perched upon other tables.  

This high-spirited celebration marked Sarah and Vinny’s occasion in a remarkably personal and— with La Petite Fleur’s influence— high-style fashion.

Love bloomed at the wedding of Danielle and Andy this spring.  And although their big day was defined by love, it was designed by La Petite Fleur. We branded this adorable couple’s event with elements as beautiful and fun as their relationship.

In bright, yet classic, green and pink hues, a gerbera daisy set the look for the big day in just the right way.  The wedding and its style debuted on a “picture-perfect” save-the-date card, which was later followed-up with a pretty sweet invitation ensemble featuring pink gerbera-stamped panel cards nestled in a pocket and secured by a curiously placed, yet practical, vertical pink satin ribbon.
 
On the big day, Danielle carried a tight cluster of hydrangea and gerbera daisies, while the bridesmaids held gerbera daisy and trachellium bouquets, which included variegated greens punctuated by fun pink polka dot leaves.

The reception’s design aesthetic was an outgrowth of this simply, sweet style— featuring centerpieces of lush green grass flats, from which perky pink gerberas peeked, finished with a pearl-fastened pink ribbon. Perched nearby, table cards named after members of the bridal party spoke to the couple’s sense of humor (and to their guests, literally)—revealing “little-known-facts” about each person.

After an evening of dancing and celebrating, guests were treated to Danielle and Andy monogrammed water bottles and soft pretzels packaged in “thank you for helping us tie the knot” bags.

Sparkle Beach!

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.
