Classic White Wedding

For Elizabeth and Josh’s classic white wedding at the Mandarin Oriental, we brought a crisp and tailored modern garden elegance inside – and the effect was exquisite!

Wedding Palette

Elizabeth’s hand-tied bridal bouquet was a study in timeless classic wedding white. It featured Tibet roses, ranunculus, lisianthus, and dendrobium orchid blossoms, wrapped with ivory double-faced satin ribbon. Each of Elizabeth’s bridesmaids carried lush, French hand-tied bouquets of Tibet roses accented with silver dollar eucalyptus foliage, while her junior bridesmaid‘s bouquet was similar, but smaller.

Ceremony and Reception

For the ceremony, dramatic arrangements were set atop pedestals at the entrance to the aisle. Each was a classic white wedding design of hydrangea, stock, roses and spray roses, and lisianthus, along with lemon leaf and silver dollar eucalyptus foliage. An elegant aisle runner of pristine white fabric was pinned in place, awaiting the bridal party’s entrance. Elizabeth and Josh’s nuptials took place under a classic wedding chuppah, constructed of four corner poles covered with sleeves of natural white fabric and a canopy of the same material. Two stunning sprays of posies accented the front corners of the chuppah. Each posy was design using a mix of white stock, hydrangea, roses, lisianthus, and silver dollar eucalyptus foliage. The design was finished with elegant white dendrobium orchids.

Elements of a Classic Wedding Reception

At the reception, a mix of two distinct but complementary designs created movement in the ballroom. Hal of the tables featured a tall, gold mercury glass vase. The vase was topped with a classic white wedding design of white hydrangea, stock, roses, spray roses, and lisianthus, complemented with touches of lemon leaf and silver dollar eucalyptus foliage. The balance of the tables featured a gold mercury glass bowl. The bowl was filled with a richly textured design of classic whites – hydrangea, stock, roses, dahlia, and lisianthus with tailored touches of silver dollar eucalyptus foliage.

Congratulations to Elizabeth and Josh on a beautiful classic wedding and a beautiful marriage!

Anything better than classic vibes? ✨ 

My favorite moment? Transferring the aisle garland studded with white blooms to the urn alcove for a dramatic moment in the tent.

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.
