A look back at Allie and Baron’s chic black-and-white wedding feels like the perfect way to close out the year🥂. We’re ending 2025 overflowing with gratitude for where we’ve been, the people who’ve grown with us, and the moments that remind us why we love what we do.

Allie and her twin sister, Kylie were the very first Avant Gardenia team members over 15 years ago, making this wedding especially close to our hearts. Just as every detail of Kylie’s wedding two years ago was unmistakably “so Kylie”, Allie’s was undeniably “so Allie”. She has always gravitated toward clean, classic, all-white florals with no greenery, and she stayed true to that timeless personal style on her wedding day.

The iconic architecture of the Arizona Biltmore was the perfect backdrop for the outdoor ceremony and reception. The large tree at the front of the ceremony began as a blank canvas and was transformed with an abundance of florals styled up, down, inside, and out. For dinner, sleek black chairs, tone-on-tone patterned linens, and black velvet napkins created a sophisticated contrast, allowing the lush white centerpieces to truly make a statement.

Another full-circle moment we’ll always hold close! 🤍

Gretchen & Reece’s vision was so fun: “Make it feel like a Hallmark Christmas movie.” We can certainly do festive and romantic, plus The Herrington was THE most perfect backdrop for this design!
This wedding was dripping with adorable details. From greenery-clad chandeliers tied with velvet ribbons, to plaid napkins, glowing candlelight, gorgeous blooms, and those warm brick walls, it all came together in the coziest, most charming way.

We say it every year, but it’s true: the Avant Gardenia team LOVES a holiday-themed wedding. December is one of our favorite wedding months.

Laura and Brenden exchanged vows beneath one of the city’s largest trees at The University Club of Chicago. They embraced all the winter greenery, rich crimson, and soft white blooms. The entire event felt festive yet timeless… full of seasonal warmth, natural textures, and just the right touch of holiday magic.

Planning a December wedding? We’re the design team that will make it magical!

December weddings are SO magical, and Rachel & Kevin’s was the perfect example of how stunning a December wedding can be, with glowing candlelight and decor details that feel like home. 🤍
Our designs aimed for a look of warmth and welcome, with layered textures, lush blooms, fragrant winter greenery (our fave), and a cozy, residential vibe that invited guests to settle in, stay awhile, and savor the night.

THE most gorgeous, vibrant blooms for Courtney & Brandon’s wedding day. 🤩 The colors were amazing and matched Courtney’s happy, fun, easygoing personality.

(Part 1 -because why can’t Instagram handle both horizontal and vertical shots without cutting off one or the other 🤷🏼‍♀️)
