1st Place Award – CSEME Show – Toronto

We are very excited to announce our first place win in the tabletop design competition at the Canadian Special Event Show (CSEME) held in Toronto this week.  It was fabulous to work with our sponsor Mariposa Cruises again this year.  There was so many talented designers and creative tables being featured in the competition.

Our desgin was called “Spirit of Nature” and initial creative inspiration was the Native theme represented at our Olympics.  I wanted to take this concept and add a modern trendy edge.  Beautiful layered tones of oranges were accented with natural detailing.  Working frequently in the Muskoka Region was additional inspiration.  Details included; georgeous silk backdrop, wooden log chairs with feather detailing, handmade birch charger plates, birch stump mini cakes, floral and feather dreamcatcher, flowers in tones of orange with red accents and natural elements, real trees in tall modern sqare vases, moss floor and burlap table linen with silk edging.   Visit Toronto Wedding Society blog for more images!

“It is all about the details!”

I created the large dreamcatcher that hung over the table from branches and twine with the guidance of my friend and fellow designer Kevin.  I added strands of florals accented with feathers and beading.

Lori from the Caketress created birch log mini cakes that complement the custom birch charger plates perfectly!

Multiple tones of orange florals were used with natural pod and moss and branch detailing.

Rustic log chairs were glammed up with feathers!
