The Secret Life of Flowers

The Hidden Garden had a whopping six weddings! From Westlake Village to Beverly Hills and everywhere in between, THG was running all around LA with our pretty flowers. Including The Four Seasons - Westlake Village, Brentwood Country Club, a private Beverly Hills estate and The Beverly Hills Hotel. Each wedding was absolutely gorgeous and unique. We hope that every detail was as memorable for the bride and groom as it was for us. A very big thank you to the wonderful coordinators we worked with this weekend: Irene Boujo at Mindy Weiss Party Consultants, Jonathan Reeves at International Event Company, Gellar Events and Leah Reiss. It is always a pleasure and honor to be in your company. 

One of this weekend's weddings was our uber lavish 700 person wedding at the Hyatt Century Plaza Hotel. All white florals (roses, hydrangea, tulilps, phaleanopsis orchids) with a delicate touch of blush pink made these designs shine.  Not to mention the thousands of gold glass beads that we used in the ballroom, bedekken and ceremony to make each area sparkle.  Take a look below to catch just a glimpse of the glamour that was this wedding.

Why We Love It:
There is standing room only at The Hidden Garden right now thanks to all the gorgeous Phalaenopsis Orchids we scored at the flower market.  We have a gigantic 700 person wedding this weekend and white phaleys are the main event.  We purchased over 2,000 stems of these amazing beauties which will create an elegant, graceful and refined event.  Stay tuned to see the spectacular finished designs. Eat your heart out Kim Kardashian!

The Hidden Garden was in Chuppah heaven!  With three weddings, we were setting up all over Los Angeles from the beach to the hills.  There was a gorgeous wedding at a private home where the ceremony took place suspended over the pool. We constructed the Chuppah and adorned it with white hydrangea, white roses and deep greens. It was oh so lush!  Thanks again to Robert Fountain, who was just amazing to work with.  On the other side of town, THG staff was setting up an artistic wedding at the beautiful hotel Shutters on the Beach.  This bride is so lucky to have such a talented and loving mother.  Her mother hand-painted EVERY placecard and program and the entire aisle runner. Absolutely Magnificent! The lovely couples' chuppa was simple and elegant with sheer fabric, bamboo poles and beautiful white phaleonopsis orchids. Take a look inside these weddings!

Decisions... Decisions... colors, petals, patterns, runners, fabric... and it's just going to get walked all over! The aisle is is such an important piece of the wedding ceremony.  It's the path the entire wedding precession will travel through. It's where the bride takes her final glide as a single woman. It's the center of the whole ceremony. The colors and patterns you choose have such an impact on the overall asthetic of the event and the mood of your ceremony.  The aisle is a focal point for your guests and their eyes will automatically be drawn to the statement you have laid out.  Take a look at these creative, vibrant and classic looks!

Why We Love It:
Well, we are in the full swing of wedding season and Dendrobium Orchid Leis are definitely in high demand when you're talking about luxurious ceremony florals and draping tall centerpieces. The leis have to be special ordered and are hand strung! They really do add that "ooh and aah" factor.  Dendros aren't a normal staple in our everyday arrangements because they are such a small and delicate flower but they absolutely make a beautiful statement.  Take a look and keep them in mind for your wedding.  You won't regret it!
