Mater Dei Wedding

Mater Dei Wedding

Shannon and Mike were truly a lovely and delightful couple, bringing such happiness and love to their wedding plans. The couple came with a vision for an event that felt casual and fun – which really expressed their personalities! They loved color, and wanted to use a wedding color palette of blush, brown, gray, peaches, corals and greens – a touch of garden, a touch of rustic, and eclectic throughout. Shannon’s bridal bouquet consisted of Juliet garden roses, Cafe au Lait dahlia, champagne roses, gray echeveria, light pink stock and astilbe, and ivory spray roses accented with seeded eucalyptus and jasmine vine. Mike’s boutonniere featured a light pink rose accented with jasmine vine.

The wedding ceremony took place at Mater Dei school in the chapel. Four grand altar designs flanked the ceremony area. The altar arrangements featured hydrangea, roses and spray roses, stock, and snapdragons in rich pinks, peaches and corals accented with a lush mix of greenery. The ends of the pews featured small bouquets of stock, roses and spray roses accented with seeded eucalyptus and finished with an ivory ribbon.

For the wedding reception, two rustic wine barrels flanked the entrance to the tent. Stately urn arrangements on each of the barrels created a welcoming touch. The dinner tables features an eclectic mix of rustic wood boxes, mason jars, and silver mercury glass containers, each filled with a garden mix of flowers in their signature colors inspired by the patterned linen you see on one of the tables. For the long, zinc table, a lush garland of seeded eucalyptus foliage was accented with garden roses, dinner plate dahlia, echeveria, stock, roses and spray roses.

Love in full bloom - rain and all ☔️ ✨ 

Tamari & Zach embraced the romance of a rainy day ceremony at the historic Tudor Place, saying “I do” beneath clear umbrellas. Then they celebrated in the cozy, intimate setting of the Tabard Inn - with a warm floral palette of corals and oranges, the dreamiest Cafe au Lait dahlias, and proof that a little rain only adds to the magic.

G is for greenery 🌿, L is for lush ✨… you get the idea! 

When it comes to statement-making florals, a well-placed garland can do it all—elevate long tables, frame a ceremony aisle, or even drape around a fountain for that effortlessly chic look. Who said greenery was just filler? 💅

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
