Palm Beach

Sometimes, all it takes is one small element to inspire an entire design. In this case, it was the swan charger plate. It immediately made Blaire of Gilded Lily Events think of Swan Lake and Degas paintings. Small details were very important to us, and sometimes there were even details so small that they really were more for the couple than guests. You will notice an underlying crisscross pattern throughout - mimicking the lacing up of a pointe shoe - on the invitation, in the bride's hair, on the menu card, and on the escort display. We also wanted to layer in the oval shape, to give a nod to the arms of a ballerina when in fifth position. You will notice those details in the engagement ring, jewelry, invitation, menu card and the curve of the arch. You will also notice on the menu card, the courses are named, "five, six, seven, eight." Again, just a subtle nod to dance.
