Michi & Brandon Marshall's Wedding at The Paris Theater, Miami Beach

Jose Graterol Designs, www.josedesigns.com was delighted to have been chosen to work on the Floral Designs for Michi & Brandon Marshall's wedding in July 2010.  It was held at The Paris, www.big-time.com an Art Deco Theater in South Beach! 
We were so excited to work on this event, as it was challenging on many issues.  Jose designed a dramatic "movie-set" atmosphere! 16' long Manzanita branches with countless magnolia blossoms were suspended over the bride and groom!  The aisle treatment showcased Jose's new container designs which gave the effect of hydrangeas floating in the air, just above the grey carpeting. The Kelly chair, provided by BubbleMiami, www.bubblemiami.com made the ceremony seem even more dramatic, as chairs were nearly invisible.



The personal flowers were very colorful, as everyone carried fuchsia, red, and all the variations.  Jose's new signature brooches were used on the bride's bouquet.  Jose also incorporated a chic black wrap for the bride's bouquet to coordinate with her dress! Then, the groom's boutonnière had four flowers from Michi's bouquet and a piece of her brooch incorporated into it, too!   The bridesmaids had similar brooches in their bouquets. The decorative brooches can be worn throughout life to remember this incredible wedding!



Michi's dress is designed by Christian V. Siriano, www.christianvsiriano.com the winner of Project Runway, www.mylifetime.com/shows/project-runway the hit cable series on fashion design!  

This wedding really was a wonderful group effort!  Michi Marshall, the bride, designed the event. Her vision for the event was implemented and produced by Charlie Venturi of Liveit Productions, www.liveitproductionsintl.com Jose Graterol specified the floor layouts, and the decor.    Breck Bouchard of the Bond Group, www.thebondgroup.info along with Charlie Venturi, and close friends, Kathy Lee, Ian Grutman were the wedding planners. They made the wedding day complete!


Jose Graterol & Steve Levine hired the ultra-talented photographer, Sharon Eliasi, www.sharoneliasi.com to photograph the decor for us. Manolo Doreste of InFocus Photography, ifstudios.net  shot the wedding for the Marshalls.  We knew that we would be too busy to take photos while we were changing the theater for the dinner reception!  All of the containers were designed by Jose Graterol, too!  

White flowers were used at the 9'H Entry centerpiece and the ceremony.  After the wedding ceremony, the lighting in the entry changed to hot pink, so the flowers absorbed the light and seemed to change colors!  Jose Graterol is brilliant when it comes to floral design, creativity and ideas!  

The Bar arrangement was a real work of art!   
Red, fuchsia, hot pink, lavender flowers were used at the dinner reception.  The entire event was stellar!   Mirrors were used on top of the tables to reflect the flowers and lighting!  The caterer was Lyon + Lyon, www.lyonandlyon.com  
Spandex from Panache, www.linenswithpanache.com  was used on the tables to create a clean look for the base.  4'H Red Roses and Fuchsia Phalaenopsis Orchids seemed to be floating and fluttering above the guest's heads!  The cake had fun touches, too!  Boyz ll Men, www.boyziimen.com were the guest performers, too!  ESSENCE magazine is also featuring this wedding, www.essence.com/relationships/bridal_bliss/brandon_marshall_michi_nogami.php
