Jeweled Gaylord National Resort Wedding

Jeweled Gaylord National Resort Wedding

Jewel and Reggie got married on a beautiful June day amidst a jewel-toned (no pun intended) palette of rich purples and blues. Jewel was more than the bride’s name though. Elegance and opulence were key elements of the jeweled Gaylord Resort wedding. The bride’s bouquet featured lush, open white peonies, while the bridesmaids carried lavender roses accented with deeper purple lisianthus and dendrobium orchids.  Contrasting with their elegant gray suits the groom wore white spray roses and the remaining men purple dendrobium orchid blossoms. Both sides of the aisle were lined with lavender rose petals.

The reception featured modern lines and lots of bling.  The scene was set on the escort card table with a dramatic manzanita branch seated in a vase of purple hydrangea, stock, and roses with strands of crystals and hanging votives completing the design. Jeweled Gaylord National Resort wedding, anyone? The guest tables alternated between silver cylinder vases with hydrangea, stock, lisianthus, roses, and orchids in varying shades of purple and tall fluted silver vases with expressive arrangements of purple orchids and larkspur accented with deep blue delphinium.  The head table was centered with three silver candelabra interspersed with the bouquets and small versions of the low table centerpieces. The jeweled Gaylord National Resort wedding was a sight to behold.

December has been a whirlwind. Weddings. Holiday parties. Installing holiday décor around town. The kind of month where the days blur and the studio never quite sleeps.

But one of the most meaningful moments has come through our involvement with Wish Upon a Wedding, an organization that grants weddings and vow renewals to couples facing serious illness or life-altering circumstances.

At the Citizen Ballroom, we helped bring Tiffianni & Minerva’s vow renewal to life. Their vision was unapologetically floral. A sweeping staircase installation layered in greenery. Flowers in saturated shades of fuchsia and purple. A lush deconstructed floral arch that framed their vows and later their sweetheart table. Tables glowed with flowers, candles, and lamps. The temperature may have been in the teens outside but inside was only warmth and light rooted in love. 

We began this year donating flowers to laid-off federal employees and end it celebrating Tiffianni & Minerva. Because this year hasn’t just been about decorating spaces. It’s about lifting spirits with flowers and helping to mark moments in meaningful ways.
