Tasked with creating a chic urban environment that captivated all five senses and adhered to ecologically sound production principles, Tacoma, Wash.-based Vangard Inc. used replantable live plants in glass vitrines instead of cut flowers, and glass, wood and stone rather than plastic wherever possible for an event for international Microsoft CEOs. Designers topped tables with twisted taffeta cloths resembling tree bark, and used LED lighting in sunset colors to create a feeling of warmth.

The nature-inspired decor for this June wedding from Atlanta-based A Legendary Event started with the ceremony, where the couple wed beneath a wrought-iron chuppah completely covered in green foliage and accented with lichen-laden branches, spray roses, and white and green hydrangea.
