Inventive Wedding Flowers
As wedding season gets underway, let’s talk about the simple ways floral design can transform your special day into an unforgettable experience. From setting the mood to incorporating natural elements and maximizing venue space, we’re sharing our top tips for creating a wedding that radiates elegance and personality!

Create a Mood Elegant. Memorable. These are words our couples often use when describing their wedding, but let’s go deeper. What’s the style of the event? Imagine the mood. An intimate mood? Then you’ll want lots of candles or close seating like kings tables. Romantic? You’ll want rounded flowers like roses, hydrangea, ranunculus. You don’t have to imagine the mood as intricately as Game of Thrones meets Willy Wonka, but start thinking about the style of your celebration. Our team works closely with our clients to bring that vision to life, whether it’s an intimate and natural setting or a sleek, modern affair. The key to elegance is to create a cohesive event where your floral choices make a visual pattern that guests can follow like a thread through the event. We ensure every detail reflects your unique style.

Visibility and Conversation We often hear from couples that they don’t want the centerpieces to inhibit conversation. In good design, a low arrangement would be low enough that the line of sight is clear across the table. Anything tall should sit above people’s heads, so as to enhance the environment without hindering conversation. Our strategic approach not only maintains eye contact but also fosters intimacy. As the sun sets, votives and other candles for a touch of ambiance to the table, creating a captivating atmosphere for your guests.

Embrace Nature’s Bounty Using foraged elements and local florals in your wedding flowers are a great way to bring in a natural, organic feel. From dried leaves to mosses, these unique touches add depth and texture to your arrangements. In fact, leaning heavily on the local fauna can bring a hyper-local feel to your event. (I’m looking at you, magnolia.)

Curate Cohesive Designs Create harmony by massing colors together and pairing complementary tones. This approach not only enhances the overall aesthetic but also provides visual continuity. Allow your arrangements to breathe and embrace negative space for a playful yet sophisticated look.

Integrate Living Plants Evoke freshness and sophistication by incorporating live plants and topiaries into your decor. These living elements add vibrancy and elegance to any setting, serving as memorable take-away gifts for your guests.

Maximize Venue Potential Think beyond traditional centerpieces and adorn every corner of your venue with greenery and candles. By embracing architectural features and natural splendor, you can create a truly enchanting atmosphere for your celebration.

Create the Wow Factor Leave a lasting impression with a show-stopping installation that wows your guests. While it may require significant coordination, the end result is a breathtaking display that elevates your wedding to new heights of enchantment. For ceremonies, this means creating a focal point, something guests will gaze upon while waiting for the ceremony to begin and that will frame the couple as they share their vows.

Seize Outdoor Opportunities Take advantage of outdoor settings to create unexpected moments of beauty. From overgrown entrances to lush tent poles, let nature inspire your design and infuse your celebration with a sense of wonder.

With these insider tips and tricks, your wedding flowers will be a masterpiece of elegance and timeless charm. Let’s collaborate to turn your vision into a reality and create memories that last a lifetime.

It’s been a very long time since floral centerpieces were just flowers in a vase. Today’s centerpieces have multiple elements, loads of candles, things that have to be assembled and even built on-site. And yet the presumption persists that the florist is just going to show up with a box that can be left in the corner for someone else to place on the table. 

Putting aside the fact that we take far more pride in our work than that… to say that we value logistics and planning is an understatement!! And logistics are truly our skill set. We can tell you how many man hours a particular installation will take and can design for efficiency. It’s truly our super power.

Most floral design relies on other things being in place. Not useful? “You can get into the room at this time.” Actually useful? “The bar you’re building that cascading piece on will in place no later than X o’clock.” But more than that? Start realizing that event demands are not what they used to be.

I love eavesdropping. 😜

While setting up for the new Georgetown Citibank, we overheard someone say, “This is the moment.” ❤️

And I couldn’t have said it better myself. Because when flowers are doing their job, they don’t just fill a space. They create a moment you can feel.
