Winter Wedding and Reception at Moulin

This was a very chic winter wedding where the bride and groom had general ideas but really let the team at Sisters Design Studio propose the elements of the decor. The idea was to have a very winter white setting with bare branches and blue accents found in the stationary and linens. Both the ceremony and reception were in the same room at Moulin. These are our own shots of set-up.


All the guest tables were long and sat people all the way around. We came up with three different table layouts mixing white flowers and branches throughout the room.

Layout #1








Layout #2




Layout #3






The ceremony was held in the same room, just off to the side, in front of this beautiful mirror. The wonderful staff at Moulin provided some small tables for us to place several of the guest table elements. These vases doubled beautifully as ceremony decor and were then moved to the guest tables after the vows.







We have done many events in this space at Moulin, but these elements really transformed the look of the room for the bride, groom, and their guests.

Bright Bat Mitzvah at the Magic House

January was a cold month in St. Louis! Luckily, Sisters was able to help out with this bright, warm event at the always fun Magic House. We worked with a lovely family on their daughter's Bat Mitzvah on January 8th. Here are the wonderful photos courtesy of Josephine Havlak.




Decorations at the temple included mixed spring flowers in the event's colors- green, orange and hot pink.

For the party, we decorated all the guest tables with large vases of green hydrangea and tall willow sticks. We embellished the vases with wide bands of hot pink and orange ribbon and put rose petals in the same colors on the table around the vase.

We had fun taking a break from the winter "hum drum" with this colorful event!

Curly Willow = Texture!

For this fall wedding, we worked with a bride who wanted a little something out of the ordinary. She loved texture but wanted to take it a step further. We included curly willow in the bouquets and boutonnieres for an added shot of interest.



The bridal bouquet included dahlias, berries, roses and willow.

The willow made a cute accent to the boys' flowers, too! It's amazing how versatile a branch can be!

Bright Ribbon Band

This arrangement is shown in our design studio. We love the ribbon detail and the wild look of the curly willow. It's a great example of using non-flower elements to bring color into an arrangement.

Sweet Summer Wedding

Stacie and Ben were married this past June. Here are some great pictures of their ceremony and reception. They were such a great couple to work with!!




All the bouquets were a mix of greens and pink. Stacie's was lush and full with peonies, roses, orchids, stephanotis and hanging amaranthus to trail.

The reception was a the Ritz. We had two different centerpieces--one with branches and one that had a round, ball shape. Both carried through the greens and pinks and both had hanging amaranthus.

Best wishes to Ben and Stacie! It was a pleasure working with you and your families!

All Green Flowers?

We are seeing green in a lot of trendy color schemes lately. Stationary, linens, and dresses all seem to come in every shade of green imaginable. Don't be afraid to incorporate the green as flowers! These photos were taken at an ABC (Association of Bridal Consultants) event this past spring. Lacy Branch Events coordinated the design using green and we supplied the flowers. Take a look!



Green grass is an easy way to bring a little green to your event! Our wheat grass placecard holder box was used for this event, even though there were not traditional placecards.

The flowers, napkins, and party favors add a splash of green to these rich damask linens. Notice the cute little black cubes of wheat grass used as satellites around the central flower arrangement.

Tall bells of Ireland were used with sprouted curly willow and green hydrangea.

Cymbidium orchids were also wired on the branches for another green element to the centerpieces.

When choosing green accents for your event, don't rule out flowers as an option!!!

Special thanks to Lacy Branch for including us in an awesome event!

Fruit and Flowers

Sisters designed these lush, fall arrangements for a rehearsal dinner last October. Our clients wanted to incorporate lots of texture and interest for the season. Fall roses, hydrangea, daises, berries and curly willow worked well together in the arrangements. We used red apples inside the cylinder vases to continue the fall color low on the table.

Fun with fruit and flowers!

Busch Stadium Ceremony

Erin and Colin were married last October at the stadium. HUGE fans of the Cardinals, they cheered for their team, while secretly hoping there would be no game at the stadium on October 30th! No game meant a great wedding for a cute couple!

The bride and groom's picture lit up the big screen!

Erin carried a bouquet of white, green and pink. (Not Cardinal red!) It included lots of texture using succulents and orchids.

The bridesmaids' flowers were very similar to the bride's with a little more pink added in.

Getting ready for the ceremony!

The reception was held at Mad Art Gallery. The cocktail tables were decorated with floating succulents (similar to the ones used in Erin's bouquet), candles and petals.

The guest tables had three vases-one with submerged variegated lily grass, one with a green submerged orchid and one with curly willow and white orchids. A very modern look for a modern venue.

Best wishes to the bride and groom for a successful 2010--for their marriage and the Cardinals!!
