The ghost chair is a uniquely modern interpretation of the classic Louis XV armchair. Designed by Phillippe Starck, the chair has been a favorite among interior designers and only recently made its debut in the events industry.
The chairs are quite versatile. Well suited to both formal and informal occasions, the ghost chair is available in a variety of colors. The original version of the ghost chair is the Louis chair featuring arms and a medallion back.

A more feminine version, Victoria, is now available as well. It is armless and has a slimmer profile. The Victoria is also available in a rainbow of colors.

The ghost chair really does set off a table-setting, and is sure to cause quite a stir among guests.

Don’t you love how the chairs pick up the color of the ambient lighting in the room?

We think a great way to personalize the ghost chair would be to attach a removable transfer to the back such as a monogram, your wedding motif, or pattern. The ghost chair is available to rent regionally, but only via a limited number of providers. Prices are on the higher end, ranging from $30 to $60 per chair. That said, we have noted summer specials this year offering the chairs for as low as $15 with a rental of 150 or more chairs.

Today we bring you the chiavari chair. The chiavari chair hails from the the Italian city of Chiavari, between Genoa and the Cinque Terre.

Whether you decide to use the chair for a bridal shower, ceremony, or reception, please keep your guests comfort in mind. Sitting in the chairs for an extended period of time can become uncomfortable, so be sure your provider offers a substantial cushion made specifically for the chair. You can also find a variety of cushion covers to suit your color palette.
Though the chairs make a beautiful furnishings statement on their own, you may want to add some embellishment. We have used floral and ribbon trimmings on the sides and backs of the chairs for several clients. And we have sourced a variety of chiavari chair caps and skirts for other clients.

With the Fourth of July weekend upon us, we are dreaming of red, white, and blue inspiration. Such classic colors, whether they are used alone or together, provide a simple, yet adaptable palette as evidenced by these gorgeous boards created by The Perfect Palette, one of our favorite daily reads.

Suzy and Mike’s Central Florida wedding goes into the books as one of 2009′s most fun weddings! Suzy and her mom, Kathy, hired Karry Castillo and the Uniquely Yours planning team about a year out to plan Suzy’s fall 2009 wedding. It was a pleasure working with both ladies. Their creativity and enthusiasm guided each and every choice they made from vendor selection to execution of the smallest details. Suzy decided upon a jewel tone palette with accents of peacock feathers. Her design was inspired by a beautiful “wishing” tree pendant. The “wishing” tree was translated to a tabletop tree upon which the wedding guests displayed a variety of special and heartfelt messages. Florida photographer, Concept Photography, captured all the fun and details of the day. Today we share some of our favorites from preparation to ceremony. Check back tomorrow for more of our favorite images from the day.
I love that the personality of the groom and his fellas comes through in this photograph.
Thallo Floral Design created a series of beautiful jewel toned orbs to decorate the gazebo and aisle.
Suzy was a beautiful bride. I love how serene she looks here in the midst of getting ready with her bridal party.

Stay tuned for more photographs to come in Part 2 of Suzy and Mike’s wedding.

It has been so unseasonably cold here in Florida, and our thoughts turn often to the temperate days we usually enjoy in the spring that lead into our balmy beach filled summers. We welcome the arrival of the real “Spring” but until then, I am admiring beautiful spring wedding accents like this gorgeous floral hair piece. Isn’t it lovely? It’s perfect for an outdoor garden wedding or for replacing your veil at a spring or summer reception.

The past few days we have been sharing wedding style palettes inspired by the colors of Valentines Day. The color inspiration today is fashionably fuchsia. Fuchsia is such a versatile color for weddings whether it is used as a predominate color or just as an accent. It works well with both sophisticated and casual designs. Today’s palette is a fun, lighthearted take on fuchsia and aptly named haute pink!
