Welcome to the wedding blog of Blue Orchid Designs! My name is Liene (and in case you're wondering, it's pronounced Lynn) and I am the CEO of Blue Orchid Designs, a wedding planning firm with consultants in Arizona, New York, and Washington DC. I am also the founder of Splendid Communications, an online media consultancy serving the wedding and event industries. Some of my favorite things include candlelit dinners and long walks on the beach. Oops, sorry! Wrong intro.

In all seriousness, we're glad you've stopped by our blog! We love weddings. We love people. And we really love pretty things. So we dish about all of the above here at the Blue Orchid Designs blog. Our blogging style is direct, pragmatic and fun. If the dress isn't your most flattering style, we'll tell you. We'll also be the ones wearing waterproof mascara on your wedding day because chances are very high that we will mist up when you walk down that aisle. So, pour yourself your favorite beverage and come join us! We are just a little bit addicting, if we do say so ourselves.

eco stylish dinnerware


It's no secret that I have a slight addiction to dinnerware, glassware, and pretty much anything a hostess would need for a perfect evening of entertaining. So you can imagine my excitement when Lisa from Terra Keramik emailed to let me know that they have recently launched a wedding registry for their line of environmentally friendly and uber stylish dinnerware.

Handmade in Switzerland, each piece is designed, crafted, and triple-fired by artisan Felix Vogler and his team. The line is lead and cadmium free so that they're safe to eat off of and the clay used is imported from Germany and "specially formulated to consume less energy when firing". The team applies platinum to the rims of each piece by brush and then Felix personally signs every piece in platinum. I love the simplicity of Terra Keramik's products and the vivid colors and I love Felix's philosophy that "good design should simplify and not complicate".

You can create a wedding registry or holiday wish list for the Terra Keramik line here and you can read an interesting interview with Felix Vogler about his creative process here.

The colors look amazing. So vibrant.
And something very important for me, especially when I entertain, the line is dishwasher safe. Do not forget to check the washing recommendations when you search for a metallic rimmed dinnerware set.
