Made it out 👀
We love orchestrating sneaky moments to make our couple’s plans a reality on their wedding day. Two ships passing just before the groom gets dressed and heads over to meet his bride for their first look. *swoon*

From their initial consultation to the wedding day, we took Molly and Leila’s floral design vision to new and vibrant heights. 💐
They wanted a palette of teal, burgundy, and orange – deep and rich, to compliment the picturesque mountain setting of their venue. We tweaked the tones a bit to suit the season and their Pride month celebration. We knew the colors needed to reflect the boldness and vibrance that their love radiated.
Persian heritage was at the heart of our design concept. They wanted to incorporate elements of the traditional Sofreh Agdh ritual, where they’d be seated during parts of the ceremony. We saw this as an opportunity to created an intimate atmosphere using pieces from our curated lounge set up, complete with large free-standing floral pillars that cascaded into a semi-circle to clearly set the stage. This arrangement allowed for seamless transitions between standing and sitting which kept everyone present in the moment.
At the ceremony entrance, floral arrangements stood on pedestals and connected the entire space filled with over 220 guests. This also enhanced the look of the venue’s weather contingency option. We weren’t letting rain dampen this design, figuratively or literally!
For the reception, we opted for alternating centerpiece styles that reflected both of their tastes. Inspired by the Catskills, we used wooden slabs that the couple crafted themselves from trees on their property nearby. Some tables featured multiple wooden slabs of varying sizes, creating height and dimension. Atop sat a mix of bud vases, bold colored taper candles, sandstone pillars and clear votives. The other style had lush compotes of greens, burgundy, pinks, and oranges with candles dancing around it. The result was a rich, burst of colors that perfectly enhanced the #biggaewedding.
@jayflora_designs (check this handle) skillfully knocked the execution of our design out of the park! Molly and Leila’s day was a true celebration of love, culture
Welcome bags are always a highlight of a weekend wedding.
You want to consider and anticipate your guests' needs when building welcome bags. Branding and keeping things cute is great but also be practical. Anything you know may be a necessity or not easily accessed based on location/ culture of where your wedding is taking place is always appreciated. Get creative and allow your selections to be unique to you as a couple and the place you've chosen to share this occasion.

We’re not crying, you are.. JK we’re definitely crying 😭
Before their first look, Molly sent Leila a surprise serenade from her favorite singer, Liana Stampur, brought everyone to tears. Funny enough, the night before at the rehearsal dinner, Leila said to Liana she wished she had thought to have her surprise Molly with a serenade - little did she know, that’s what Molly had planned for her!
Congratulations to the newlyweds! This is a moment we won’t forget anytime soon. 🤍

Happy Father’s Day from us to you. 🤍
Weddings aren’t just about the couple, but also about the cherished relationships that have
shaped their lives. Today, we pay tribute to the father and father-figures who have played a significant role in their children's love stories. To all the fathers who have walked their daughters down the aisle, wiped away tears of joy, shared heartfelt advice, and embraced their children's chosen partners with open arms, we see you and we love you. 🤍

How to Make an Attire Request for Your Wedding Guests:
✨ Get specific.. but not TOO specific.
It’s one thing to ask for pastels in spring or to specify common wedding styles (black tie, formal, cocktail, causal, etc.) but be reasonable with your requests. Make sure it’s doable and user-friendly. Consider your guest count and remember how YOUR nearest and dearest deal with these types of things.
✨ Make sure they have ample notice and resources.
Some people send invites a lot closer to the day than others for a variety of reasons. If you’re making an attire request, you probably won’t want to send your invites 8 weeks before the wedding. Giving people some extra time to prepare never hurts and will make it more likely for guests to honor it and execute it well. Depending on the request, you may even want to consider giving them access to a mood board to make sure the vision is as clear for them as it is for you.
✨ Make it make sense.
Pastels will be easy for folks to find in May but not so easy in November, and black tie may not be the best suited for your outdoor wedding at the height of the summer. Whatever your request may be, we want to see it enhance your day, not deter it. Consider the setting, colors, season and style of your wedding overall when making this decision. We love helping couples figure out the best ways to communicate and set their guests up for success with their special requests.

One year in the books.
Happy first anniversary to sweet lovers Megan and Jordan– enjoy your special day!
