Look to nature for inspiration

Fall is where you can find amazing ideas for many design & floral ideas. As the trees begin to change colors spark! The magnificent colors inspire one to create a pallet for an autumn floral arrangement.

When leaves start to fall and trees take on new silhouette, yet another idea is sparked! The barren twigs glistening in the autumn sunrise formed the idea to create a twig chandelier using curly willow & hanging jewels as the focal point at the event.

We were fortunate to have a theatre stage as the location. This allowed us to suspend from the fly space. The lighting design created shadows onto the dance floor for another design element.

With the manipulation of the jewels & lighting, the design will enhance the idea to fit into outdoor themed event design.

Helpful Hints to create the Twig & Jeweled Chandelier:
Use a metal ring at least 48” round
To hang use metal chains or cables
Assemble the creation at the event location
Install longest curly willow/twigs first to create the foundation of the design
Fill in with the small twigs to complete & fill in the empty spaces
Finishing touches by hanging foliage & jewels
Last but not least focus lighting instruments to cast a shadow on the floor
