Classic White Wedding

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!

Love in full bloom - rain and all ☔️ ✨ 

Tamari & Zach embraced the romance of a rainy day ceremony at the historic Tudor Place, saying “I do” beneath clear umbrellas. Then they celebrated in the cozy, intimate setting of the Tabard Inn - with a warm floral palette of corals and oranges, the dreamiest Cafe au Lait dahlias, and proof that a little rain only adds to the magic.

G is for greenery 🌿, L is for lush ✨… you get the idea! 

When it comes to statement-making florals, a well-placed garland can do it all—elevate long tables, frame a ceremony aisle, or even drape around a fountain for that effortlessly chic look. Who said greenery was just filler? 💅

Industrial spaces have a beauty of their own, but the right floral design can take them from warehouse to urban garden. 🌿✨ 

For Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding, we played with scale—tall magnolia branches to emphasize the height, lush florals to soften the space, and candlelight to add warmth. The result? An urban oasis that felt both grand and intimate.

1️⃣Go Big with Greenery – Tall magnolia branches brought height and movement to Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding

2️⃣ Mix Textures – Lush, low floral arrangements softened the industrial edges while keeping the space dynamic

3️⃣ Layer Candlelight – Warm glows + metal details = a romantic urban oasis

4️⃣ Frame Key Spaces – A floral garland on the head table grounded the design and added intimacy. Trees flanking the table took it to the next level 

5️⃣ Contrast is Key – Pairing the raw, industrial elements with soft florals and organic details created the perfect balance
