Cascading Phalaenopsis Orchid Centerpiece

The early morning show, NBC 7/39 News in the Morning, is “Throwing a Wedding at the Prado”. This is a free wedding give-away to a selected lucky couple where the viewing audience votes and decides on every aspect of the event including the bridal gowns, invitations, bridesmaid dresses and FLORISTS. 

 

Haute House Orchids is one of the 3 finalists in the floral division.  This is a must-see for any bride seeking beautiful and unique orchid arrangements and bouquets for her wedding. 

 

The inspiration for the centerpieces came from the historic Spanish architecture and colors of the Prado venue, which features lush landscaping, fountains with painted tiles, and accents in a rich teal blue.  The floral designers highlighted their white, cascading phalaenopsis orchids to reflect the many water features of the Prado.  This waterfall effect given to the orchids is a signature look for Haute House Orchids.  The white flowers are set off by the Tiffany Blue tableclothes which keeps the look fresh, clean and contemporary and juxtaposes well with the historic elements of the Prado.  This interaction of the old and new makes for an especially elegant yet rustic feel for a stunning wedding site.

 

The bridal bouquet takes its color cue from the magenta bridesmaid dresses.  The matching phalaenopsis orchids are again combined with hydrangeas and roses to create glorious color against the white wedding dress.

    Did you win the right to have your flowers displayed at their wedding? What an honor to be chosen if you were... and what a shame to overinflate the value which forces poor Jerry and stephanie to pay taxes on this... what a shame on each of the venders and NBC for not making this a 'free wedding' ... you get the tax right off on overinflated value and they have to pay... hmmm??
