Fall Women in the Arts Wedding

Fall Women in the Arts Wedding

Sophisticated.  Elegant. Warm.  These are some words that come to mind when thinking of Andrea and Alex’s fall Women in the Arts wedding. Warm oranges and bright reds contrasted beautifully with bright pops of blue. Using peach garden roses, stock, and gerbera daisies, orange spray roses and freesia, coral roses, and white dahlia, Andrea’s bouquet conveyed a simple but textured fall feel. The groom wore a peach rose, complementing the bride’s bouquet. The bridesmaids’ bouquets amped up the color, with roses, freesia, stock, spray roses, gerbera and dahlia in bright shades of orange, peach and red wrapped in dark blue satin ribbon.

Ceremony and reception for the fall Women in the Arts both took place at the museum, with the ceremony in the great hall followed by a resetting of the space so that the reception could occupy the same space. A simple chuppah featured sprays at the front corners in orange, peach and red tones – roses, orchids, dahlia, gerbera, berries and stock – accented with draping ivy and seeded eucalyptus foliage.  Greens and herbs filled the pots at the base of the structure. The chuppah was flanked by two dramatic, tall arrangements, with two matching designs at the entrance to the aisle.

Curly willow branches, gladiola, stock, orchids, Chinese lanterns, crocosmia and snapdragons in peach, orange, and red sprayed from an elegant, hand-blown glass vase that was centered the escort card table. The reception featured three separate centerpiece designs. The tall ceremony arrangements, which flanked the chuppah and aisle, were repurposed on the tables. They were joined by two additional designs: For one design a collection of candles in varying heights and styles was seated in red rose petals.  For the final design, a classic, glass footed bowl held orange dahlias, gerbera, and spray roses, peach stock, red orchids and hypericum berries and a mix of red and orange roses.

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

Not all green and white floral palettes are created equal. This one here will NEVER go out of style and is truly as timeless as they come! Magnolia, eucalyptus, rosemary, and delicate touches of white… Add velvet linens and gold touches, and we’re smitten... 😍
