It’s obviously a big trend right now. I’ve posted about suspended candles, string gardens and now upside down plants. It seems that placing things on tables or the floor are so 2009. I’d love to know from you event planners whether this trend is a love it or a hate it.

Event planners are always looking for unique alternatives to the everyday. This is why I love Etsy seller floredelsol (many thanks to the totally fab Kim Vallee for turning me on to them!). Proprietor, Christina Moreno, is a floral designer who uses professionally preserved flowers and moss to create chic & long-lasting centerpieces. Each item is hand crafted so she can customize every single detail to work with your colour scheme.
Arrangements range from $30-70 USD.

String Gardens has re-imagined floral design by suspending flowers instead of planting them. But it doesn’t stop at there – they also hang trees and shrubs as well. I think this could be a very interesting way to use vertical space and, of course, create the unexpected from expected event decor.

When my husband and I celebrated our honeymoon, we opted for a month in Europe. One of the towns we visited along the way was a beautiful place called Orvieto. Known to Italians as the “green heart of Italy”, it is lesser known to tourists and is centrally located between Rome and Florence. It’s location, beauty and rich Etruscan history made it a must on our list of places to see.
I recently came across some stunning pictures of a wedding that Artfool (now named Matthew Robbins designs) designed and executed in Orvieto. Having been to this beautiful place, I think they did a wonderful job of capturing the essence of this magical Italian town.

Perhaps inspired by Alice in Wonderland’s garden?…
Designer Gitta Gschwendtner’s Plant a Cup is a planter in the shape of a giant cup and saucer (18.5″ x 10.5″). This would definitely be a conversation starter.
