Portfolio - Historic Houses Society Tenth Annual Fall Gala

This morning we had the privilege of decorating Mr. and Mrs. John Weinmann's home for the Historic Houses Society Tenth Annual Fall Gala to take place later this evening. Click here to learn more about former ambassador Weinmann and his contributions to New Orleans and Tulane University. The gala will raise funds for the continued success of the Hermann-Grima + Gallier Historic Houses. Be sure to stop by the museum's website - http://www.hgghh.org/ - to take a virtual tour or plan your next visit.

Guests are greeted by two cheerful chrysanthemum wreaths featuring the HG logo.

Our silver candelabras compliment Mrs. Weinmann's amazing array of silver serving-ware. The arrangements include yellow asiatic lilies, yellow and red circus roses, red alstromeria lilies, orange spray roses, pittosporum, green trick carnations, hypericum, and millet.... what a mouthful!

A silver trumpet vase full of orange and yellow flowers add much needed height to the beautiful piano. Proper scale is always a concern especially for the grand homes of New Orleans.

Outdoor guest table centerpieces consist of a collection of votives, and colorful mini calla lilies submerged in water and topped with floating candles. Our oversized mirrors will amplify twinkling of candlelight through out the back garden.

Small bouquets in the restrooms add a touch of elegance with the scent of sweet smelling dutch hyacinths, but Mrs. Weinmann's gorgeous vases are the real showcase.

Paul created a beautiful and lush oriental arrangement for the front foyer. As designers we enjoy the challenge of using our client's unique selection of vessels. If you're looking to add to your own collection this holiday season, we carry numerous exclusive lines of dutch pottery... details coming soon.
