With newfound creativity and enthusiasm, our new Fall | Winter Event Collection this season offers pieces to craft events that are stylish and innovative, featuring nostalgia and modern glamour in equal measure.<br>This season, we partnered with Ian Prosser of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.botanicaflorist.com\/\">Botanica International Design Studio<\/a>, to design various new Fall Event products. Versatile, thoughtful and designed with pros in mind, we&#8217;re certain you&#8217;ll be enchanted with this exciting, new collection.<br>Read on as we chat with Ian about these pieces&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How did the conversation start?<br>Quite organically actually. When the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/ceremony-collection\">Ceremony Stand<\/a> was originally created I mentioned that a pedestal should be made to complement the stand and have the option to sell it as a set. The Product Development team decided to produce it and it was successful. This is what really got the conversation going. I bring an event design perspective that comes from both experience and practicality. My mindset is to think of what I could use that I don\u2019t have on hand that would enhance my inventory and be useful for others in the industry, as well. <br>My concepts all started with one small stand that could accommodate candles and create an elevated tabletop container. Things that were already in existence but could be elevated. I thought of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/athena-candleholder\">Athena Candlestick<\/a> and what if we could make the plate larger, and make a place in the middle for taper candles? This would allow for you to create a variety of looks all with one product. Thus, the genesis of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/argyle-candleholder\">Argyle Candleholder<\/a> &#8211; easily my favorite piece from the collection. This is an excellent aisle or alter option that would lead to continuity between the ceremony and the reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1125\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/hyacinth_2_.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12239 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/hyacinth_2_.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/hyacinth_2_-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/hyacinth_2_-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/hyacinth_2_-740x1110.jpeg 740w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 750px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 750\/1125;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/hyacinth_2_.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/hyacinth_2_.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/hyacinth_2_-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/hyacinth_2_-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/hyacinth_2_-740x1110.jpeg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Explain the design process for these pieces.<br>While in Tampa, I was sketching some ideas and came to Atlanta and met with the PD team. We went through my ideas and from there it was a free flowing conversation that allowed more ideas to bubble. Shapes changed, heights shifted, we thought through delivery + practicality components. We also took floral foam in consideration for those who use Oasis and to allow room for excess water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which product are you the most excited about?<br>Like I said before, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/argyle-candleholder\">Argyle Stands<\/a> are my favorite. They have a twenty inch top that sets an eighteen inch floral foam wreath. This allows for designers to create offsite and then transport separately and assemble once at the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/caston-683x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12240 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/caston-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/caston-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/caston-740x1110.jpeg 740w, https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/caston.jpeg 750w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 683px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 683\/1024;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/caston-683x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/caston-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/caston-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/caston-740x1110.jpeg 740w, https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/caston.jpeg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/caston-collection\">Caston Collection<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>The black offering of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/caston-collectionhttps:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/caston-collection\">Caston Collection<\/a> is really exciting. There\u2019s a desire for this sultry floral palette right now that really deserves a darker container versus silver or gold. No need to spray paint! And there&#8217;s a pedestal to match!<br>I had suggested the concept of the gates and it was a lovely collaboration with Natasha [Product Design + Development Director], who expanded on my thoughts and landed on the modern design of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/puzzle-archway\">Puzzle Archway<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1814.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12243 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1814.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1814-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1814-740x987.jpg 740w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 750px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 750\/1000;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1814.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1814.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1814-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1814-740x987.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a year of being apart, the world is ready to come back together and celebrate.
