Small scale hanging floral decor makes a huge impact

The following is a guest blog post from Anne Bradfield, Floressence, florist at Novelty Hill-Januik Winery during the 2016 Weddings in Woodinville wedding show and tour.

Ceiling installations have peaked in recent months, with all manner of floral and foliage hanging in every possible way. We were excited to show how a smaller scale hanging installation could enhance the intimacy of the Cask Room at Novelty Hill Januik Winery. By creating two parallel lines of green — on the tabletop and on the gorgeous wood ceiling -- the room got cozier, a little more romantic, a little more magical. And (we think) perfect for a rehearsal dinner or cozy celebration for just a handful of your nearest and dearest.
