“Champagne Reception”

November 11th, 2009

As you remember from a previous post, Cassandra Santor was Featured Coordinator for Bride & Bloom Magazine: Designs for Weddings and Life. She was asked to create a “Spring Reception” and came up with this Gatsby inspired, peach and champagne theme. “The dinner settings were soft, sophisticated, and billowy, perfect for an intimate setting.” Each person received a flight of champagne (three two ounce pours, one for each course) and the purveroys details were tagged on each stem in a style that fit perfectly with the invitations created by Lisa Tse of Ink Box Design Botique.

What wasn’t talked about in the previous post is the cake. The cake was a design from Kennedy Confections in Massachusetts. They created this one of a kind three-dimensional fondant covered cake on location in Newport, Rhode Island at the spectacular Belle Mer. To this date, this is one of Cassandra’s favorite cakes. She loves the simplicity of the design, yet it makes a bold and elegant statement. The icing comes off the cake in swirls and takes the skilled professional hand of an expert confectioner.

Check out the cake in all its glory.

Bride & Bloom Magazine

August 30th, 2007



The Bride & Bloom. Have you seen this gorgeous publication? They’ve published their fourth issue and are already making waves. Within each issue you’ll find that every arrangement is stunning. I especially love the grays and greens mixing with cream for winter and fall. One of the pages in the book is a pullout of four different types of flowers, a mini-reference book.
This month they featured cosmos. Delicate, soft and so very elegant, these flowers are a beautiful addition to boquets and nosegays Note brown, aka “chocolate” cosmos smell like a hint of chocolate. When I was working with Dana Worlock Designs (Brooklyn based floral designer) she introduced me to the sweet smell of cosmos mixed roses and curly fawns. So gorgeous! Now that black is coming back, wouldn’t soft, subtle flowers be the most delightful floral component? Add in a beautiful pink-hued filler such as Astilbee and you’ll have a remarkable one-of-a-kind bouquet. Thanks to the team over at Bride and Bloom we have many more exquisite arrangements to look forward to!
