Long View Art Gallery Wedding

Long View Art Gallery Wedding

Colorful Long View Gallery wedding with poppy centerpiece

It’s always special when we get to design for more than one bride in the same family. After getting to know Emma through her sisters’ weddings, we were thrilled to celebrate her marriage to Evan. All three sisters had a similar color palette of peaches and corals, but Emma wanted to play up the corals for her wedding and colorful Long View Art Gallery wedding reception. Her bouquet featured coral peonies, peach stock, coral roses, coral sweet pea, coral snapdragons, and coral ranunculus accented with green echeveria succulents, touches of yellow mimosa and Billy Balls, and finished with seeded eucalyptus foliage. The bridesmaids – including former Petal’s Edge brides Abby and Zoe – carried a more muted bouquet of peach roses, ivory spray roses, white tulips, peach stock, and white ranunculus accented with seeded eucalyptus foliage.

Emma and Evan’s chuppah reflected the urban chic vibe of Long View Art Gallery, with copper poles and two dramatic sprays of flowers. These bursts of color featured coral peonies, coral roses, ivory spray roses, white tulips, peach stock, touches of yellow mimosa and oncidium orchids, and finished with seeded eucalyptus foliage – perfect contemporary touches for a colorful Long View Art Gallery wedding.

Cocktail arrangements were elegant small square glass vases holding a single coral peony blossom. The corals and urban chic vibe carried through to the colorful Long View Gallery wedding reception with four different centerpiece designs. Grouped vases of artsy poppies, eclectic vases with coral snapdragons, tulips, and billy balls, a dramatic tall greenery arrangement, and footed glass bowls of corals and echeveria succulents gave the room so much texture!

Advice I’d give you as a florist if I wasn’t afraid of hurting your feelings…

1. Creativity costs money

Thoughtful choices matter. Floral design comes from premium blooms, careful mechanics, and hours of labor. Often, investing in a few impactful designs creates more magic than trying to do a little bit everywhere.

2. Pinterest isn’t reality.

Styled shoots, filters, and out-of-season flowers can set unrealistic expectations. A skilled florist translates your inspiration into something real, beautiful, and perfectly suited to your wedding.

3. Your choice of wedding planner can be a 🚩

A strong planner protects your vision and collaborates with your creative team. But not every planner has the same level of experience, and misplaced trust can cost you money, time, and beauty. Surround yourself with professionals who set you up for success. Protecting quality is how your vision comes to life

4. Repurposing only works with a plan.

Yes, some ceremony flowers can move into the reception, but it requires staff, timing, and logistics. With forethought, it’s seamless and impactful. Without it, it can create stress or compromise the design.

5. Timing is everything.

Flowers are living things with a short window of perfection. A carefully built schedule protects bouquets, keeps installations fresh, and ensures your flowers look their best when it matters most.

🌸 And one note for fellow vendors: florists care deeply. I don’t know a single one who doesn’t. We want to give couples our very best work. But flowers are perishable, which means details matter. When timelines push us to deliver too early, when arrangements are dismantled without our input, or when fading blooms are photographed as “detail shots,” the couple’s vision suffers. Collaboration is what protects the flowers and, ultimately, the experience we all want for our clients.

The truth may not always be easy to hear, but hearing it early will save stress, protect your vision, and give you flowers that feel unforgettable for all the right reasons. ✨
Victorian elegance met modern romance at the Fairmont. ✨ Centerpieces have the power to set the tone for an entire ballroom. Half the guest tables featured tall silver candelabras topped with textured designs of hydrangea, roses, dahlias, and lisianthus in shades of pink and burgundy. More than accents, the elevated designs added height, repetition, and cohesion throughout the room. The balance of tables held silver footed bowls brimming with the same rich palette, styled in a looser, organic shape. Together, the mix of height, texture, and candlelight created a romantic atmosphere that was timeless and unforgettable — the kind of detail that takes a wedding from beautiful to truly show-stopping. 🌸✨
