Chandeliers of Flowers

Recently we created enormous floral Chandeliers as the pieces des resistance  for a wedding organised by Party designer extraordinaire Simon Liebel.  

Taking inspiration from Preston Bailey's incredible work we conceptualised the structures to be hung in the ceiling domes of the ballroom at the Dorchester.

Lulu spent a few days pouring over an Excel spreadsheet and thus following hours of painstaking sums we gathered all the ingredients together.

 

Loraine and her team set about stringing the thousands of shimmering Crystals to be hung on the Chandelier structures created by InGenius . We suspended the crystals from the structures and then decorated them with garlands of ivy.

 

They were then decorated with hundreds of white Phalaenopsis orchids, clouds of white Hydrangea  and classic white roses.

The logistics of transport, rigging and the illumination of the Chandeliers was quite a feat but the end result was absolutely breath taking and we relished the challenge.  Below is a picture of a finished chandelier hanging in the ballroom at the Dorchester.
