JW Marriott Seasonal Display

Throughout the year we have several opportunities to design with foliage plants and props according to the seasons or up coming holiday in the main lobby of the JW Marriott Orlando Resort. 

The end of January we replaced the beautiful winter scene to showcase a traveler waiting on a park bench for a ride.  Items include passports, maps, camera, luggage, travel books and various colorful foliage plants in decorative planters.

AWARD WINNING DESIGN AND DESIGN TEAM

Greenery Productions participated in it's first Indian wedding show produced by Desh-Videsh in September.  An earlier blog post reflected on the designs for the Hilton Orlando & Greenery Productions' spaces at the tradeshow.  The December 2010 Desh-Videsh magazine profiled our company.  It is also with great pleasure that our work is featured in the Hilton Orlando & Waldorf Astoria Orlando advertisements. 



The article below details the scope of tabletop design.  Greenery Production's took first place competiting against at least 12 designs teams including other top rated Orlando design teams.  Just one more reason why Greenery Productions continues to be Orlando's premier design company offering floral, folaige and decor for any size wedding or event.

IN HONOR OF SEPT 11TH AND OUR LOCAL FIRE STATION 81

This morning Greenery Productions provided Fire Station 81 with a breakfast that included a homemade egg and sausage casserole, fresh fruit and orange juice.  Breakfast was delivered at 7:00am so the previous shift was on site.  We had a great time and thanked them for being our "First Responders" and for all they provide for our local community.

NEW DAY CREATIVE

Mickey and I had the pleasure of working with Jenn & Dawn from New Day Creative The dynamic duo settled for nothing but perfection and we aimed to please and delivered just that over several days in March for a premier nutrition and weight management company. I just love there philosophy of working together. "We'll evaluate you. And you'll evaluate us. And together we'll decide if we can wake up on the right side of the bed every morning. And we do that for this reason. We want to deliver quality. Gloriously. Sunup to sundown. 24/7." We both enjoyed our brief time together with Jenn & Dawn and are anxiously looking forward to the next engagement.

The first night's event, "Evening Under The Stars" was at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando. The tent was erected on the island that is between the Waldorf and Hilton Bonnet Creek. Our role was to enhance the experience both outside and under the tent. We accomplished this by providing tons of candle light reflected through glass mosaic hurricane linen the entrance and perimeter of the island. Twinkle lights illuminated the bridge decorated with natural draping greenery and white dendrobium orchid sprays.

The stage was enhanced with illuminated wax luminaries. A large stately arrangement of white phalenopsis orchids framed the Broadway Performer Linda Eder as she entertained guest for this chairman's dinner.

The tables were set with a lush arrangement of white phalenopsis orchids and hydrangea. Our silver chargers glistened in the abundant candlelight.

The second night events took place at the Hilton Orlando.

The white washed room was the back drop for tables dressed with white floral. The only color throughout was black napkins and chair sashes. Varying size and styled centerpieces of hydrangea, roses and mini calla lilies were set aglow with candle light.

The Bull & Bear Steakhouse at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando was the location for the final nights festivities. Beautiful deep burgundy roses (Black Magic variety) and rusty orange mokara orchids towered over guest atop a gold ornate candle stick. The tables were layered in fabric, chargers and gold rimmed stemware. Amber beaded candle holders and red votive defined the mood for the entire venue.

Thanks for the ever amazing talents of Edmund Rhodes with Rhodes Studios for capturing such great images of the week long events.

SAYING GOODBYE IS THE HARDEST PART

From the bottom of my heart, I always thank my clients for allowing us to participate in what will be one of the most memorable and cherished days of their lives. Sometimes those days becomes weeks and months and you begin to build a relationship. Coordinators can tell you this first hand since they share so many intimate details with the bride, groom and families. From the moment that Tracy Marini with Eventfully Yours introduced me to the Robucks, I knew I wanted to work with them to create their dream wedding. Charlotte (the bride) and Iris (the mom) where just so darn sweet. I cherished the thought of driving down memory lane as I visited the "barn" for the first time on Silver Lake in Leesburg. I spent some time growing up in Leesburg and worked at Silver Lake Country Club. In fact I helped open the facility way back in the late 80's. Much to my surprise it was torn down and the lot sits empty. Charlotte loved orchids and cerise and chartreuse colors. Her bouquet included Garnet Glow mini calla lilies and hand wired mini cymbidium orchid blossoms.

The girls carried a bouquet of Weber Parrot Tulips (an awesome variety with lots of textures, take a look at this link for tulips) and white mini calla lilies.

Always going above the call of duty to assist where and when I can.

Mr. & Mrs. Robuck are just a delightful couple. I enjoyed exchanging flower stories with Iris. Mr. Robuck was so accomodating even going so far as painting the silver installation that was painfully obvious after we installed the pipe and drape around the perimeter of the barn.

I just love this picture that Troy Battle captured of the flower girl. He is an amazing photographer and I can not thank him enough for being so great to work with and providing these wonderful images for your enjoyment. Be sure and clik the link to see more images of this wedding and others.

Mr. Robuck built this arbor which faced Silver Lake as the couple exchanged vows. Varying varieties of orchid sprays, ivy, variegated greenery and curly willow decorated the arbor.

An explosion of Calypso Mokara Orchids arranged in a variegated ginger leaf lined accented with curly willow brightened the table covered in a Apple Green Bengaline

Other tables included a soft and romantic pink cymbidium orchid spray tucked into a tall round vase. Pink parchment paper covered the flickering votive holders.

The cake carried the pink and green theme with a border of mini green cymbidiums and Garnet Glow mini calla lilies.

The beautiful coupled admiring their dream wedding and all the guest enjoying themselves.

I am often asked about elements that help drive the theme while remaining tasteful. I've seen these paper lanterns used and have used them myself in the past. But I always say use them in masses to provide an abundance of color and ambient lighting. So I couldn't help myself by hanging absolutely ever last lantern the client purchased. It brought the tent alive with color.

I just love this picture from across the pond (of which I wanted to build a bridge across). You can actually see all the pink in the picture it is amazing.

SPLASHES OF PINK AND GREEN

Andrea carried an all pink peony bouqeut. Her girls carried a vintage style bouquet of lime green hydrangea, pink peonies and sweet peas.

The focus at the ceremony was handmade orchid garland from white & green dendrboium orchid blossoms.

I love when a client is not afraid to use bright colors. Varying shades of chartreuse & cerise was captured in the floral and linens. Clutches of delicious Rai Parrot Tulips (a wonderful bi-colored tulip, click the name to see an upclose) dressed some tables while other tables included large towering vases with cymbidium orchid tucked into the throat.......all accented wtih mahogany bamboo.

May 1st, 2010 was a wonderfully busy day at Greenery Productions. All the prior months planning with four very special couples finally became realilty by our entire team. Thanks to Brittany Sobering of Tickled Pink Brides, we had the pleasure of creating beautiful weddings for two of these couples. After getting started on the other three local weddings, I headed to the Vinoy Renaissanace in St. Pete with two GP team members. We worked all day transforming the reception space into the beautiful and colorful reception you see above. Varying shades of pink and green floral including peonies, cymbidium orchid sprays, dendrobium orchid sprays, parrot tulips and bamboo transformed this space into a setting unlike the venue had ever seen. Thanks to BinaryFlips for the amazing images included in this blog post Of course its alway sure to bee a hoot when Rainer with Simply Cinematic is capturing the days event on video as they unfold. And a huge and heartfelt thank you M.J. Farb with Junction 88 (fabulous DJ) for saving the day by getting keys out of our locked vehicle.
