So we just finished up a photo shoot for San Diego Style Weddings Magazine yesterday in which we were asked to do a concept and design for a table scape. It was so much fun!! I paired up with my mom from Twigg Botanicals who did the florals and we got to work!
One of my favorite details of the day...kind of a last minute idea to go with our favors
The linens that Wildflower had could not have been more perfect! We were so excited to find these! Everything they have is beautiful though..linens to inspire and hundreds of weddings waiting to happen!
We must have changed our concept at least 3 times...but were finally inspired by this tea canister with the beautiful elephant. Our concept quickly became titled "Tea in China". Sidenote: We learned that day from the very talented Haydee of Haydee's florals that an elephant with it's trunk up means good fortune. Isn't that so appropriate for a wedding theme too. I loved that! Unfortunately...I've already done a good fortune themed wedding...and this wedding quickly moved from China to somewhere in Bombay. It took on a much more Indian type feel and we have been left without a title!
So...this is where I'm enlisting all of your creative help and inner genius. We haven't come upon just the right name for our table and I was hoping you could help. As of now, we named it "Indian Ocean". Any other ideas? Something with Bombay perhaps, tea,tangerine or mandarin orange. Please.....anything that comes to mind. I would love to hear any and all ideas and hey it may just make it into the magazine. THANKS in advance and love to you all! I'll have the real professional pictures soon to share. Stay posted!!

How about...

Tea in the East
White Elephant Gift (harhar)
Indian Safari
That's all I got, and it's not a lot...sorry. But I LOVE the table scape.
I am horrible at this creative stuff and somehow I was called to the Enrichment committee at church. What the heck? So my only 1 i can think of is:
Tangerine Treasures
Good Luck!!!
I'm liking Miggy's "Tangerine Dream"! I couldn't come up with anything original:)
Or maybe:
Tangerine Tea
Orient Orange Tea
Orange Orient
Or...Bombay in Bloom
Love Bombay in Bloom!
You and your mom do Beautiful work! the table looks exquisite and the colors and textures are so magical!
Bombay Bliss might work too.
Bombay in bloom is fab!
But I like tangerine dream too.
I also like the
The Kiss of Ganesha (it's the elephant with all the arms)
Vishnu's Kiss
Or something like
A Passage to India.
not to steal from e.m, but...
My suggestion is:
"Namaste"
Which is an very "Indian" salutation that is often said at the conclusion of a yoga practice.
It means "the divine in me, recognizes the divine in you."
Don't you think that is nice for a new bride and her groom?
As usual it is amazingly beautiful. You are SO great at what you do.
Love the table. These are all great suggestions, I was going to say Tea in Bombay, but I think I like Bombay in Bloom.
oh my goodness! I love them all! Such a hard decision...but one seemed to be just right. Thank you for everybody's input and great ideas. You'll just have to take a look at the next issue of San Diego Style Weddings to see what we chose to go with. :)
Bombay mist
Tangerine Ocean
Tangerine Twist/Splash
This is hard! Good luck! I DO love it ALL though! You guys are pure talent!
Ok Heather you can't leave us hanging like that!!!
I think since we all helped with some type of input we should get 1st priority of knowing before the whole world does in the mag!!! Ha! Ha!
Keep up your creative work.
This is so COOL! I absolutely love the concept and the colors! So lovely and creative.
Oh wow! This is great. Such an unusual and fresh color palate. And your mother did an fabulous job on the flowers. Everything just seems to work so perfectly!
Oh - I came so late to this blog - what a gorgeous table setting! I would have called it Bombay Sunset. :-)
