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.

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.
