One of the most anticipated events of The Special Event 2011 Wedding Lunch is always the Wedding Designer Galleries. These galleries are known to overwhelm all the senses with inspiration and “ah-ha” moments. This year there was no exception. The seven galleries were beyond everyone’s expectations! Each of these galleries was orchestrated by a brilliant team of vendors and the partnerships alone would make any industry professional proud. The details in each of these galleries cannot possibly be understood without viewing them firsthand or salivating over the hundreds of photos that Melissa Jill captured. We have tried to create a mini photo spread of each gallery to help spark your own ideas for your events!
BLUE HEAVEN
This gallery had so many creative aspects and everyone loved it. Who would have imagined that a cow could be so couture! This particular gallery was filled with bold color and dramatic lighting. The cake was made out of cheese and you just felt sophisticated inside the gallery.

THE GOLD STANDARD
We loved how this gallery actually complimented The Wedding Lunch theme of “In Love with Metallics”. This gallery was designed by two local Phoenix companies and they helped set the standard for our local market. This color combination is always a winner with brides. It’s modern but with a trace of traditional style as well.

FLORAL FUSION
This vibrant gallery was designed by another fabulous local company, Wendell Design Group Florist. They took so much care in executing all the bright details down to the magical lighting and powerful sound. All your senses were aroused when walking this gallery. They thought of everything! We were so proud of how they represented the Phoenix market and the caliber of work that was produced.

TYING THE KNOT
The Phoenix market showcased exceptional talent in the gallery designs. Flora Bella, a local floral designer inspires us all to make your space truly one of a kind. Flora Bella’s ability to incorporate feathers, peacocks and miles of ribbon would make any bride blush. The ceremony design they created is a perfect setting to tie the knot.
