Orange Crush – A Modern Twist to Retro Design

Dig this Daddy-O.  Sometimes inspiration comes from unexpected places.  In this case, fabulous event stylist Aileen Tran drew her inspiration from the color orange, a love for modern design and the spirit of 1960′s pop culture.

Juxtaposing hard and soft, warm and cold, Aileen brought white fur, luxurious dupioni silk,  vintage mercury balls and sleek glass canisters to her design to compliment the vibrant orange roses, ranunculas, white orchids and tulips bursting from stark white vases.

Simply Posh Design created the reception stationery.  Drawing  inspiration from David Adler prints and fabulous frocks once worn by 1960′s supermodel Twiggy,  two bold geometric patterns were developed as menu backgrounds to add a little panache to each place setting.

And let’s not forget the hip dessert lounge Aileen designed featuring a clear acrylic bar, canisters of calla lilies and assortment of white and silver candies to delight in as a sweet treat to end the night.

Thanks to Pam Scott for capturing the cool vibe of this design.
