Anyone that knows our studio or our work is familiar with my collection of vintage containers. I find so much inspiration in unique objects and vessels to hold centerpieces and various other arrangements. I’m always looking for a fabulous new vase, glass, pitcher, bowl or compote.

Vintage silver is one of my absolute favorite things to work with. It can be classic & elegant or extremely funky & eclectic depending on the setting & the flowers. I often use tarnished silver for an even more dramatic, vintage look.

Here are some amazing images from photographer Roey Yohai taken at one of our events in NYC. Roey really captured the amazing details in the vintage silver along with the unique shapes & silhouettes featured in these wonderful vessels.

They look great! Vintage containers evoke such an authentic feeling to weddings. Beats the heck out of “New” containers thats for damn sure.

I went to a family wedding in Los Angeles where the mother of the groom allowed her spectacular collection of vintage silver vases to be used for the center arrangements. I will never forget the sight of her running after clueless guests who tried to help themselves to the flowers (and vases!) on their way out the door.
