We spoke with Michelle at Utah Events by Design & asked her to share a little bit of where she came up with the incredible design & vision for this wedding. Here is what she has to share:

“Working with Ami and Greg was a true joy and this couple had amazing taste! Utah Events by Design was thrilled to be a part of such an amazing wedding.

A little bit about Ami and Greg’s wedding design:

The couple selected a beautiful color pallet of tiffany blue, champagne, ivory, and soft pinks. This color selection was inspired by a French Vintage inspiration shoot Utah Events by Design created which was featured here: French Vintage Wedding Inspiration on The Bride and Groom. Ami immediately fell in love with this French Vintage look and thus Utah Events by Design used it as inspiration to create the perfect look for their $100,000 wedding.

The Ceremony Design

Although the couple had hoped to marry outside on the gorgeous garden patio of La Caille, the weather was not cooperating so the ceremony was pulled indoors. But thankfully, La Caille’s lovely pavilion was a stunning room in which to create an equally beautiful setting, fit for an elegant ceremony.

White resin ceremony chairs were dressed up with draped ivory sashes while floating candles in tall glass cylinder vases lined the rose petal-covered aisle. And the bride and wedding party gracefully glided down the wedding aisle with classical music provided by the amazing guitarist of the Daniel Day Trio. Ami’s selection of wedding-appropriate music helped create the perfect ambiance while guests waited for the ceremony to begin.

Due to the nature of the French Vintage inspired design, a soft, delicate color pallet was selected for the floral arrangements. Utah Events by Design worked closely with the Chic Design Studios to establish color-appropriate florals to pull off this look. Both bride and bridal party carried stunning bouquets consisting of a variety of garden, spry and standard roses, dahlias, hydrangea, lisianthus, ranunculus, and china berry. These flowers and the variety of colors made for gorgeous arrangements against the soft colored dresses that Ami’s brides maids wore.

Since the ceremony had to be pulled indoors, a backdrop was needed to create the perfect alter for Greg and Ami. Therefore, Utah Events by Design was careful enough to create something intimately stunning but not overwhelming for the ceremony. In doing so, four antique silver candelabras full of rich florals and greenery rested upon cabaret tables draped in champagne linens and arranged in a horseshoe shape under the stunning pavilion chandelier.

The Reception Design

Because the Pavilion at La Caille is a large, long room, it was important to create a variety of different heights to best utilize the space. Both round and cabaret tables were sprinkled throughout the room and draped with champagne linens. In addition to the heights of the tables, the floral centerpieces were also designed with a variety of heights. From tall antique candelabras to short glass vases and tiffany blue mason jars, the floral arrangements brought the room to life and created a visually appealing scene. And in addition to the lovely floral, each table also displayed a lovely photo from Greg and Ami’s engagement session captured by Swensen Photography.

Other elements at the reception played an important part in design as well. Greg and Ami’s cake was a decadent focal point draped in soft pink dahlias and ivory-patterned fondant while the dessert buffet provided a variety of tasty options in a fun, color-coordinated candy display.
