in October I participated in a bridal show at the Benson Hotel. The Wedding Experience  was a luxurious mock wedding,  produced by Simon and Megan Blanco.

Last week I posted photos of the botanical shoes and purses for the bistro tables; here are some images of the flower towers and the log arrangement in the lobby.

A huge thank you for these great pictures  to Mario with Falcusan Photography

Nicandra is a coarse, erect annual that is native to Peru. It belongs to the nightshade family and can become quite invasive. In early summer, the plants are adorned with 1½ inch  solitary violet bell-shaped flowers with white centers; the delicate blossom, similar to morning glory,  are very short lived but the seedpods are a favorite in arrangements – some are green, some are black and green.
