Introducing Bespoke Events by Don de L’Amour. A unique offering of multiple services including bespoke floral design, floral and film packages, event design and coordination, as well as brand and product activations.
Don de L'Amour focuses on creating unique European-inspired events to bring exceptional originality to every occasion.
From design conception, creative consultancy and direction to, installation and execution, each event we create is tailored to your desires.
For the launch of our new service line, we directed and produced ‘La Encantada’ together with a group of creative visionaries across the industry.
The vision I had for ‘La Encantada’ is to capture the magic that many of us believe in but few have come to witness.
Our shoot is deeply European influenced, touches of old-world charm with elements of modern detailing. It was completely styled with authentic Parisian-style floral arrangements, using flowers, foliage and techniques practiced in France. Tables were framed with authentic French Louis chairs and lined with biscuit-toned linen. On this, we decorated with fine crystal-cut glass, brushed-gold tableware, scalloped edged dinner plates and mocha tapered candles. Menus and stationery were completely hand-written with calligraphy on blush raw-deckle-edged paper.
Other key elements were the bridal dresses and tuxedo. We worked with Designer labels L’eto Bridal and Belance to select pieces that would work with our concept.
The gown was a step away from traditional classics. A relaxed-silhouette silk slip with a beaded sheer overlay, sparkling leaf embroidery and romantic sleeves. The groom was dressed in a contemporary double-breasted jacket constructed from black English linen. We wanted the details to be sophisticated and refined but also embody uniqueness, a contemporary edge, veering away from the predictable traditional attire.
It was important for us to capture the authentic nature of this charming Spanish home, by creating a captivating scene on the Gothic staircase in the entrance of the home. We illuminated the mosaic tiles with pillar candles and trailed devils ivy up the staircase. Between this we planted perfumed garden roses in subtle pastel tones to create the sense of an enchanted garden, inside.
The intention behind all the work goes beyond flowers. It goes beyond weddings and beyond events. The purpose of is to elevate your senses, heighten your emotions and make moments truly unforgettable.
