With India being the origin of this themed table top, the use of several design elements and a variety of approaches inspires a contemporary decorative expression. “Not only was a table top décor created but an atmosphere was achieved,” says Linnae of Asiel Design.
The designers from Asiel Design began by contemplating three perspectives - fashion, design and color. From their fashion perspective, a custom embroidered and beaded fabric from Wildflower Linens was the chief motif ingredient. The embroidered, beaded etching inspired the ribbon detail for the floral centerpiece and the themed place card setting by Babycakes Design. To complete the overall fashioned look, the designers meshed the modern style of the exotic pergola by Raj Tents and accomplished an era of mystique and ornate elegance.
With “playful” as the design focal point, the florals became the vehicle for this representation. A sleek centerpiece with a pave design of geometric florals creates height with a vertical pattern. Atop this designed container, sits a whimsical floral showpiece incorporating tulips, calla lilies, ranunculus, and tiger orchids, and suspended above the table, a floral chandelier with mosaic candle votives completes the whimsical and playful illusion.
To further accentuate their playful floral design, an unusual color scheme was selected. “We see the variations of blue, gold and sand within the linens and pergola,” said Linnae, “but the florals incorporated a wider variety of color including shades of orange, magenta, yellow, and red violet to give a ‘punch’ while still creating a sophisticated feeling.” To interconnect the wide use of color, Enhanced Lighting and Sound fabricated ambient lighting in different undertones to integrally enhance the overall theme.
The very essence of this India-infused table is best expressed by Jonathon of Asiel Design, “The overall look is achieved through the many details. It’s always the details that create a great style - from the detail of the decorative trim all the way to the decorative pins in the mums.”

# 1 - LOUNGING ANYWHERE
Wonder what to do to a resort ballroom to make it more interesting and intimate? You can create individual lounge areas by renting tents of sheer flowing fabric and adding sofas and coffee tables with lots of candlelight in them. You’ve suddenly created that romantic lounge atmosphere in a standard ballroom and given it more intimacy. Your guests can move to different “rooms” during the cocktails hour or or they can dance the night away. Jill La Fleur, The Wedding Planner

#31 FLORAL DECOR
No wedding is complete without flowers. Try updating the traditional
centerpiece by using masses of your favorite flowers in a variety of
complementary tones for added texture and interest. For instance, if
your bloom-of-choice is the gerbera daisy, try one centerpiece with
dozens of red gerberas, another with orange, and another with
fuchsia-colored bunches. Let your imagination run wild!

#11 QUICK FIX
Traveling with an emergency kit is like the American Express campaign, “Don’t leave home without it.” It should have everything from panty hose and nail glue to smelling salts and Tums, but the most commonly used item is SAFETY PINS! Although you should have a needle and thread, I have resorted to using safety pins for fixing hems on tuxedos, bustling the brides gown, pinning broken bra straps and creating a veil or headpiece out of tulle when the bride’s was left at home. Safety pins are great for a “quick fix.”
