Image 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.”

Tips
  • #21 LA FLEUR TABLE
    Cover your entire table top with a single bold color of petals. Not just a scattering, but the entire top of the table with a thick layer of petals! You can purchase them at a farmers market or order them through your florist. Place your chargers, place settings, glassware and centerpieces in a contrasting color and lots of candles directly onto the petals for a stunning, romantic look!

  • # 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.

  • #16 COMFORTABLE RECEPTIONS
    Reception spaces are taking on a comfort theme nowadays. Rather than using cocktail tables alone, couples are creating a lounge effect in their reception areas by adding cozy furniture groupings of sofas and coffee tables, along with tenting and draping, lamps and lanterns, lit up trees and dozens of candles. You may want to hire a jazz quartet or flamenco trio to create a sultry ambiance.  Some couples are even hiring cigar rollers!  You can also use this set-up outdoors for a living room beneath the stars!
