Courtney & Tommy’s beautiful summer wedding was full of colorful pastel floral mixed with neutral details, so the overall feel was a little more muted than one may expect when using a variety of bright pastel hues. We paired the centerpieces with some fabulous neutral linen choices (a muted sage green and a textured/patterned taupey-ivory) as well as a neutral striped napkin. The overall effect of colorful floral depends a lot on the accent details, the amount of natural light, and the style of the venue. Here, it was the perfect pop, and the overall feel was sophisticated summer elegance.

Ending this wonderful year with one of the most beautiful weddings of 2024 - Claire & Charlie at Armour House. It was filled with the lushest varieties of white and blue floral, including THE most stunning hybrid blue delphinium flown in from Holland. The blooms were some of the largest and most exquisite we’ve ever designed with. All of the details, from the fountain to the staircase to the linens and beyond, were showstoppers! Cheers to this especially fabulous 2024, and Happy New Year to All!

It was all so warm, elegant, and festive! Stay tuned for this weekend’s wedding with a Hallmark Christmas movie feel! ✨🎄

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone! We are so grateful for our wonderful clients, vendor friends, and floral suppliers. The floral feast for you today is Sydney & Brett’s charming early-fall wedding near their family lake house in Michigan. The color palette sure was a stunner, and all the textures and varieties of floral and foliage worked together flawlessly! The unique ceremony backdrop we created in front of the large tree was a gorgeous highlight!

Great details make all the difference. Caroline & Phil’s wedding design consisted of warm neutrals and focused on repeating details in shapes and textures. Perhaps the most prominent was their unique dance floor: a warm, neutral marble tile print in a chevron pattern, which inspired the entire floor plan. We followed those same lines and angles with the placement of all the guest tables. There were two stylish variations in table & chair pairings to help accentuate the sharp angles within the floor plan. We used textured stone pots for the lush floral arrangements, taupe taper candles, and lots of fluted glass. The massive fluted glass vases that held huge gatherings of camellia foliage are perfectly cohesive with the fluted texture of the Langham’s chandeliers overhead, and all of the smaller fluted glass hurricanes accented beautifully as well. We even incorporated fluted taupe pillar candles on some tables to repeat this texture in another material. I could go on and on about all the intentional details… we just love creating beautiful settings for this amazing family!
