Beautiful Classic White Centerpiece

A lovely combination of beautiful ivory roses, hydrangeas, lilies and orchids paired with an exquisite  pearl lace from our personal collection makes this a classic combination. This combination of ivory, champagne, cream and white is an all time classic beauty. 20 years down the road these gorgeous hues of cream will still be in style. 

White and Yellow Wedding

We love love love this color combination of white and canary yellow, its bright and vibrant. Beautiful yellow roses, paired with white hydrangeas, roses and white phalaenopsis orchids were incorporated through out the wedding. We designed a simple back drop with champagne fabric with two tall arrangements full of roses and orchids on glass vases dripping with crystals to frame the ceremony. After the ceremony the guests enjoyed the cocktail hour while we transformed the ceremony area with reception decor. The reception had beautiful gold stripped linens from ArtQuest's personal collection with tall centerpieces full of roses and orchids standing tall and magnificent. It was a pleasure designing this wedding at the iconic The Abbey on 5th. A huge thanks to Philip Defalco Photography for all the wonderful images. Now that summer is almost over and fall is around the corner, we are soaking up all the loveliness from all the beautiful summer weddings and anxiously looking forward to all the amazing fall and winter weddings!

Lavender and Pink Wedding at Marriott Marquis

I absolutely love this color combination, beautiful soft pinks, lavender and ivory so dainty and elegant. We designed the bridal bouquet very simple with lovely garden roses and ivory roses wrapped with a beautiful lace and embellished with exquisite broaches. Oh and my favorite are the lovely flower purses that the flower girls carried. Aren't they just adorable? The floral purses are a perfect substitute for the traditional basket. The ceremony decor at The Immaculata Parish had four tall centerpieces with beautiful lavender roses, soft pink roses, hydrangeas and white phalaenopsis orchid. A grand church looks even more spectacular with grandiose arrangements. The reception followed in the same color schemes with lush tall centerpieces on glass vases warped with pearls, beautiful lavender roses, soft pink roses, hydrangeas and white phalaenopsis orchid. We designed two tall floral bridges filled with plethora or roses and orchids for the family tables. These floral bridges are beautiful statement pieces that flanked the dance floor. A gigantic paper flower wall was back drop for the sweet heart table table. Oh and lets not forget the cake, a simple cake sat beautiful on a custom cake riser we designed which was was embellished with cascading lavender roses.

White and Pink Wedding

This wedding with pink and white florals is absolutely lovely. We designed an opulent reception with roses, orchids, manzanita tress and a floral wall. Let me dive right into the details and let the pictures speaks for themselves. We designed 4 lush arrangements for the ceremony with white and pink roses with lovely white phalaenopsis orchids cascading down to create a simple and clean design. The reception had amazing tall centerpieces with pearls dripping down on the vases and a lush floral arrangement on top with white roses, pink roses and and those magnificent orchids. A unique design of incorporating names on silver frames mirrors for assigned seating was one of the fine details we incorporated in this wedding. Two family tables with hanging manzanita tress embellished with pearls, clear glass orbs, white dendrobium orchids, white phalaenopsis orchids stood tall and made a statement piece at the reception. Oh and my favorite, we designed a floral wall with white, cream and ivory paper florals and draped the back drop for the lovely Bride and Groom.

Beautiful White and Blue Wedding.

A lovely white and blue Indian wedding we designed at Sheraton Hotel and Marina. The couple had a private Indian ceremony just for family and had a lovely reception for family and friends. We designed a beautiful bouquet with white garden roses embellished it with an exquisite rhinestone trim. We incorporated her love for sequins, brooches, crystals with large display of white and blue florals set on clear glass vases dripping with multiple strands of crystals. A stage was set up with a white leather love seat and 2 white leather high back chairs from ArtQuest's personal lounge collection. A exquisite back drop of hanging crystals with glass globes, and two arrangements on acrylic/plexiglass pedestals with crisp deep blue hydrangeas(which we are so much in love with) and white orchids cascading to give a simple yet opulent design. A huge thanks to Deborah Shields photography for exclusively capturing these images for ArtQuest.

Moroccan Table Setting

A Moroccan inspired design is one of the popular design to add unique fair to your events.  This design allows you to incorporate many fun elements as part of your event design. Many unique design elements were incorporated in this design to add vibrance to the table setting. Unique elements like hookah, teal apothecary jars, gold and blue Moroccan votive, tea pots, tassels are a few to mention. We incorporated a beautiful vibrant silk overlay as linen. Exquisite floral like vibrant pink and white peonies, purple vanda orchids, open coral rose blooms and white phalaenopsis orchids were used to embellish this tables. 

Moroccan themed Henna Ceremony

We were excited to design this vibrant Moroccan themed event to start the 2 day festivities for our lovely South Asian Bride. The primary focus of our design was to create an opulent stage draped with vibrant satin fabrics. We incorporated lush garlands of flowers with an abundance of hot pink roses, hydrangeas, peonies and orange roses. We used a white leather lounge with gold trim from our ArtQuest Flowers personal collection to give a grandiose affect to the stage. We used a simple centerpiece with gorgeous Moroccan lanterns and unique gold votive.

Peach and White Wedding at The Westgate San Diego

A lovely peach and white wedding we adore that we designed at the Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcala and The Westgate Hotel. The bouquet we designed for the bride had beautiful peach garden roses, peonies, white roses and calla lilies which was embellished with a lovely dainty gold broach. For the ceremony, we adorned the Mission de Alcala with lush tall centerpieces on rustic gold candelabras that were drenched with phaleonopsis orchids, white hydrangeas, white roses and peach roses. Reception at The Westgate Hotel San Diego was equally amazing. The lush tall centerpiece on gold candelabras with hanging crystals stood tall on tables that complimented the Versailles room wonderfully.
