WHITE-HOT DECOR
Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jeff Weaver and Jillian Malnofski
went white for their fairy-tale November Nuptials
by Jennifer Muirhead
1 THE SCENE Good lighting is key for preventing an
all-white color scheme from appearing too sterile, says
Julie Pryor of Pryor Events, who used soft background
lighting to illuminate the Weavers' reception at the
Ritz Carlton in Marina Del Rey, California. On the
tabletops, unconventional details brought interest to
the color-free tableaux. "Don't be afraid to add
elements that you wouldn't normally use in a
centerpiece," says Pryor, who incorporated crystals,
beads and miss-matched candles into the composition.
Even the dance floor - white varnished wood hand-painted
with the couple's monogram - adhered to the color code.
2 THE FLOWERS Less is more when choosing blooms for an
all-white affair. Floral designer Amy Marella, owner of
Hidden Garden Floral Design in L.A., stuck to only two
textually different blooms - white roses and hydrangeas
- to create a clean, simple look that provided maximum
impact.
3 THE DETAILS Layering cream and ivory tones kept the
ambience inviting. Pryor chose subtle gold accents -
such as gilded edible chocolate plates and golden silk
draped over the chandeliers - for the reception site.
The gold "made the whites pop and added depth," Pryor
says.
4 THE SURPRISE The Weavers broke from their monochromatic
palette at one station, wowing guests with a brightly
colored candy bar lined with leonidas, black magic and
milva roses. Tasty clusters of pink and white rock
candy, English toffee, candy sticks and red licorice
sated guests' sweet tooth's.
