Jeweled Gaylord National Resort Wedding

Jewel and Reggie got married on a beautiful June day amidst a jewel-toned (no pun intended) palette of rich purples and blues. Jewel was more than the bride’s name though. Elegance and opulence were key elements of the jeweled Gaylord Resort wedding. The bride’s bouquet featured lush, open white peonies, while the bridesmaids carried lavender roses accented with deeper purple lisianthus and dendrobium orchids. Contrasting with their elegant gray suits the groom wore white spray roses and the remaining men purple dendrobium orchid blossoms. Both sides of the aisle were lined with lavender rose petals.

The reception featured modern lines and lots of bling. The scene was set on the escort card table with a dramatic manzanita branch seated in a vase of purple hydrangea, stock, and roses with strands of crystals and hanging votives completing the design. Jeweled Gaylord National Resort wedding, anyone? The guest tables alternated between silver cylinder vases with hydrangea, stock, lisianthus, roses, and orchids in varying shades of purple and tall fluted silver vases with expressive arrangements of purple orchids and larkspur accented with deep blue delphinium. The head table was centered with three silver candelabra interspersed with the bouquets and small versions of the low table centerpieces. The jeweled Gaylord National Resort wedding was a sight to behold.

The fountain garden at Woodlawn + Pope Leighey House is one of our favorite spots on earth, and cocktail hour here just hits differently. 🤍 Urn arrangements, cocktail table florals, a custom seating area, string lights, an escort card wall... the details are what transform a beautiful space into a full experience. Because details make the difference — always. ✨🌿⁣

A palette pulled straight from a glass of bourbon. 🥃

Sculptural calla lilies, trailing amaranthus, grapes and peaches. Modern, organic, a little decadent, and just a little moody.

Designed for Basil Hayden, and proof that sometimes the most interesting thing you can put in a floral arrangement isn’t a flower.

We loved working with @basilhayden to bring this together.

There’s just something about St. Francis Hall.⁣

Maybe it’s the brick. Maybe it’s the windows. Maybe it’s those twinkle lights that somehow make every wedding feel a little bit magical.⁣
⁣
For Erin & Joel`s wedding, we loved the contrast of all that warm architecture with cool blues, crisp whites and lots of greenery. Nothing fighting the room. Nothing trying too hard. Just really pretty flowers in a really wonderful space.⁣
⁣
And honestly, we could design here a hundred times and still get excited walking through those doors.⁣

An outdoor ceremony followed by a beautiful ballroom reception? The St. Regis makes a very persuasive case.⁣
⁣
The Astor Terrace and Astor Ballroom give us two different settings to consider, and I love finding the floral thread between them. A color carried through. A favorite flower appearing again. A shape that feels familiar when guests move inside. You get the excitement of a new space, with flowers that feel like they belong to the same celebration.⁣
⁣
Those connections are some of my favorite parts of wedding design, and for Katie and Doug, I love how they went a step further with incorporating hand painted ceramics form Katie`s homeland. ⁣

OBSESSED was a word we heard many times over the course of this wedding. The color palette was just {chef’s kiss}
