CUSTOM SPACES

A lot of what we do here at Salt Harbor involves creating spaces rather than just flower arrangements or tablescapes. Seating areas and interesting design pieces create great intimate spaces at events, and we are constantly incorporating them. But to do that, we often need things that we cannot find at local party rental stores. So we create them. Luckily, I have a talented husband and father who are always up to the challenges I give them!

We debuted these serpentine benches at the recent open house for the Balcony on Dock. They have so many possibilities--circles, half-circles, s-shapes.

I wanted to hang artwork made of flowers from the tent, so my husband built these boxes and rigged them so that they would hang from the tent over the benches.

We have been doing a lot of vintage-inspired work lately and could not find rental furniture in that style, so we purchased some wooden benches to work with.

While chandeliers and hanging arrangements are not always appropriate for events, they are a great way to create interest in a space. Here, we made a natural chandelier by suspending a round rod iron piece, adding a Plexiglas circle, some candles, greenery, and hanging votives.

Thanks to Millie Holloman for all the great photos.
