Candi's Floral Creations

There are many different types of Enchanted Forest themes, but this wedding takes the cake! (no pun intended) Everything you could imagine an enchanted forest would have, was included….but without going too far.

Since a forest can contain various elements, we decided to run wild with a collection of different accents to capture the concept.  There were 3 styles of centerpieces: an enchanted tree, a bowl filled with flowers and butterflies and a floral arrangement designed in a moss container.  All centerpieces were surrounded my moss rocks, colorful gems and votive candles decorated in peacock feathers. Peacock feathers accented the bride’s bouquet, shoes, hair, etc; real butterflies sealed the kiss(none were hurt in the process); flower girls were fairies with the most gorgeous wings you’ve ever seen; the ring bearer held a lily pad with frog moss pillow…..and so much more…..we will let the pictures show you the rest!
….but you’ll have to wait just a little bit more because I have to talk
about the amazing people that were involved in this wedding….
KELLY and ROB, aka the bride and groom: they were the best couple EVER! I was so happy to be able to create Kelly’s vision, which was a challenge because she was so devoted to every aspect of every detail. She deserves every picture perfect moment, as you’ll soon see.
Erica at Ambiance {chic} Wedding Designs came through again with such a great wedding and couple. She and her team took such good care of those butterflies!Lol
Fox Hill Inn, Brookfield, CT; Rosa is the best! Easy to work with and very accommodating.

Adrienne at Admire Design captured the vision in the escort cards, menus and table numbers.

And my favorite photo of all…….

Okay, so this centerpiece you’re about to see is HUGE, so get ready!  I was invited by Winvian (an extraordinary resort tucked away in the Litchfield Hills) to partake in a exclusive bridal show of preferred vendors.

Winvian is home to many unnamed famous clients whom enjoy the horses and vineyard while they stay in the eclectically designed high end cabins.

Since I knew that it would take place in the barn they rent out for weddings, I wanted to go with warm colors and a harvest feel.  I love mixing unique items with flowers such as champagne grapes, wired covered moss balls, artichokes, candles, moss covered candles etc  Especially in the fall, bringing natural elements into the design really completes the harvest feel.

This style of design is a perfect impression piece for a wedding place card table, a hotel foyer, a restaurant entry way etc.

Well, the enchanted forest wedding theme is getting pretty popular, and I have to say, I love it!  I must have been a fairy (probably a floral fairy) in a past life because I am so drawn to this theme and keep thinking of new things to add to it all the time!  Since I have many brides contacting me with this theme, I wanted to come up with a really unique enchanted forest tree that does not look like the ever so played out manzanita trees (although, I still love using them).  My tree is the best, if I do say so myself!  For cost-cutting purposes, I rent these trees out.  They are still a bit pricey, but they are well worth it!  I add things to it all the time. The tree looks great with moss balls, candles, flower heads added to the table around the base of the tree. Along with nestling moss and fresh flowers into the trunk, I hang fantasy flowers and colorful votives from the branches.  You can add butterflies and dragonflies – fantasy or real-looking.  It’s a forest, anything goes!!

Since most brides can not afford to put trees on every table, I have designed 2 shorter enchanted forest themed centerpieces for the other tables.  I think it looks better to have a handful of these impressive  trees scattered throughout the room mixing them with lower styles in the same theme.  Gives you the feel you are in a forest, enchanted, of course!
