My bride brought me swatches of her wedding dress fabric and an exquisite shawl to show me her preferred color palette. And so ensued this gorgeous floral combination of vibrant fall shades. She (with the fabulous caterers “Just Us Catering”) had chosen the linen and napkin colors and so I married the two creating this renaissance style centerpiece, complete with copper urns, persimmons, pomegranates and green berries decorating the table.

This floral was created with some specific specs.... it was to be placed on a long, narrow wooden table in a Mexican restaurant and had to liven up some rather dull decor.  Since the celebration was a husband's birthday we didn't want it to be too soft or feminine.  So, thinking chile peppers and a sunny climate we washed the box with a thin coat of blue and popped in some vibrant shades with just a hint of greenery.  Mission accomplished and we had one very happy wife!
