Blade Board: Guastavino's

"The inspiration started with the “Save the Date” card designed in silver and royal blue. The space, Guastavino’s under the 59th Street Bridge needed something dramatic and the bride wanted LOADS of candlelight throughout the space. Deciding on a simple white and silver color palette we ended up creating tall centerpieces with curly willow branches and the often underestimated baby’s breath! I created “clouds” of baby’s breath resting atop clear glass cylinders and a similar design adding curly willow branches that rested atop birch pedestals. TONS and TONS of hanging glass votives, pillar candles and votive candles completed the look. It was BREATHTAKING to see the entire room aglow with candlelight!" -- Anne, Blade

Introducing Guest Blogger: Blade Floral and Event Designs


While working with Anne Kilcullen of Blade Floral and Event Designs on a wedding we discovered that she creates amazing "real life" inspiration boards to help bring her proposals to life. We are so impressed by how this helps her clients visualize how her wedding will look and feel. We've asked Anne to share some of these story boards with you, they are more than inspiration -- they are the foundation of the environments she creates. Check in for Anne's posts -- I know she'll inspire you too.

"I created Blade to use my love and passion for flowers and beautiful designs. I find inspiration in everything around me and use my years of experience to incorporate these everyday things into my work. I work closely with every bride to style the wedding of her dreams and I listen to her wish list to create these storyboards. The boards help the bride visualize my ideas for the design of the decor. It's so important to me that the personality of every bride comes through in the design." -- Anne
