Planned Perfectly Wedding Rentals Product Shoot
Well, this post has been a long time coming!
Way before Covid, in a world that was simpler and happier, Planned Perfectly asked me to design some flowers for a product shoot to showcase their newest linens and decor rentals. I’m still in love with the products, and Planned Perfectly is ALWAYS my go-to recommendation for couples who are searching for high quality and stylish linen and chair rentals (and word on the street is, they’ve got a few new things up their sleeve…but you’ll have to wait to find out more about that!).

This first linen is their Taupe Panama, paired with wood crossback chairs. This is definitely a favourite combination of mine, particularly for a wedding couple who want something subdued, elegant, and warm. The linen has a beautiful natural texture to it, and fits equally as well in a garden-inspired wedding as in a ballroom setting.
We hung this oversized but lightweight installation of copper and bronze tinted plumosa overtop, but unfortunately, it’s a trick just for the photoshoot. The Manitoba Club ceilings don’t have a way to successfully hang anything from the roof (as with most venues), so we hung it from a pipe and drape structure that was tucked out of the view of the camera. Sorry, guys!
Next up, we’ve got their Toffee Belize linen, and it’s kind of a tricky colour to nail down! Depending on the lighting and what else is in your palette, this linen can skew light pink, mauve, or a muddy neutral. These pictures give it a particularly pink feel, but it’s not quite this light in person. It’s gorgeous!
I also love that it was paired with two different chair options to show you how a simple chair swap can completely change the visual. If you’re planning an elegant wedding in a ballroom, then the classic gold chivari chairs would be a perfect fit. Or, if you’re hosting a gorgeous tent wedding with a garden aesthetic, I love it paired with the wood crossbacks (these are my favourite chairs!)!
For the floral centrepiece on this table, I wanted to do something lush and low, that felt like it was growing naturally without needing a vase to contain it. I loved this palette — it’s springy without being overly pastel. White tulips and gladiolus blooms were a naturally growing focal point, Queen Anne’s Lace added romantic texture, with a few antique pink carnations and spray roses filling it out. And you can’t miss those beautiful cymbidium orchids — they’re this beautiful subdued creamy tone 😍
We styled the table with beautiful glass beaded charger plates, menus along from my sample stash, from Minted, and groupings of votives (the more, the better, in my opinion!).
This beauty is the Storm Velvet! And ooo, how I love it. I’m all about the velvet and not just for winter weddings, either (though I do love the icy feel that this look has!). This is a seriously gorgeous blue that pairs really nicely with all kinds of pastel palettes, and also with brighter combinations — it’s surprisingly versatile!
When it comes to your colour palette, I always suggest that you select a foundational colour, a focal colour, and accent colours/metallics. Your focal colour is the one that you want your guests to remember — but you’re not going to splash it EVERYWHERE, otherwise it’ll be overkill and visually exhausting (remember the 90s and early 2000’s weddings where you chose 1 colour and just used it everywhere? Let’s avoid that. It does not look good). Choose a more subtle foundational colour that supports the focal colour. So, you could use this blue velvet as a foundational colour to support a more vibrant palette of coral, peach, and orange. If you had a coral linen and coral flowers and coral candles and coral menus, your wedding would be visually disgusting. Foundational colour + focal colour + accent colours = visual beauty!
I’m a recent convert to loving these clear Napolean chairs! For the centrepiece here, we paired Planned Perfectly’s white pillar candlestick trios along with my smoke glass votives that I tucked some simple quicksand roses into. The variation in height and texture is really nice!
I’m a huge fan of sweetheart tables, and this one features Planned Perfectly’s Silver Velvet linen (which is really a soft grey, and super pretty!). It’s paired with Trend Decor’s blush velvet settee and I love how feminine this design is.
The place setting details include a grey satin napkin, knotted for a modern feel, a pink menu (also from Minted), and copper charger plates. I love the way the copper and silver play together, especially paired with the hanging copper plumsa installation and my smoke glass votives (here I’ve done 2 sizes of votives, with both floral and candles in them, for a bit of visual variety).
