We designed this outlandish yet incredibly sophisticated tablescape in yellow and black with contrasting white linens.<br /><br />Everything from the hanging mirror and floral pommanders to the handmade napkin rings (see below), came together beautifully creating a classic color combination in a contemporary design.<br /><br />Needless to say, the Biltmore Hotel's landscape was the perfect background.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j8KOfrRPNbk/TKSJUthbaII/AAAAAAAAAM4/JF9yjCks7MA/s1600/U12_8382.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 213px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522690031973263490" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j8KOfrRPNbk/TKSJUthbaII/AAAAAAAAAM4/JF9yjCks7MA/s320/U12_8382.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />For more photos and video visit Jackie Ohh Events' website:<br /><a href="http://www.jackieohhevents.com/ask-jackie-ohh/decor-trends-with-jackie-ohh/">http://www.jackieohhevents.com/ask-jackie-ohh/decor-trends-with-jackie-ohh/</a><br /><br /><br />A big thanks to Martha from UDS photography for these images.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/343557683718992287-7103405418374859189?l=avantgardens-miami.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Avant Gardenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00817901798659305316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-343557683718992287.post-85663524474637862742010-09-27T08:31:00.000-07:002010-09-27T09:48:13.270-07:00<p align="left">08.17.10 @ Avant Gardens</p><p align="left"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 293px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 237px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521633031939599282" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j8KOfrRPNbk/TKDH_NjSq7I/AAAAAAAAAMg/aNzH7fGczNo/s320/1408800128.jpg" /></p><div align="justify">We were hoping, yet not this extent, that a night dedicated to E. Gilbert’s Eat Pray Love would be a successful event at Avant Gardens. The combination of yummy Balinese snacks, soul warming teas, maybe a shot of freshly brewed espresso or event better, a glass or two of Chianti (Viva Italia!), an inspiring and spiritually awakening presentation by our friend Eddie Rodriguez, and the company of over 80 old and new friends made for an unforgettable evening. Our design team was proud to introduce our new flower arrangements and plants themed with the search for balance in our lives. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521630336558571154" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j8KOfrRPNbk/TKDFiUeYHpI/AAAAAAAAAL4/jqF4gqBRZzo/s320/buddah.bmp" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521632698314618962" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j8KOfrRPNbk/TKDHrys5eFI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/Eev9lprWqeY/s320/Eddie.bmp" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521632831116119458" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j8KOfrRPNbk/TKDHzhbPjaI/AAAAAAAAAMY/ge-DcTvuriI/s320/group.bmp" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521630117503209218" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j8KOfrRPNbk/TKDFVkbgjwI/AAAAAAAAALw/pB5_x08D140/s320/group.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521630009497878898" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j8KOfrRPNbk/TKDFPSFCAXI/AAAAAAAAALo/VQ4j34flylQ/s320/buffet.bmp" /></div><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Here are a couple of photos featuring keepsake gifts, imported directly from Bali.
