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.

Throwing it back to last year’s corporate event at the MGM with @allsettup Making music got a whole new meaning! Flowers on a guitar? Yes please!
Blooming branches – that harbinger of new beginnings, a flower whose very appearance serves as the epitaph to winter. But that sweet symbolism isn’t the only reason we love them! 

Very few botanical elements feature both soft edges AND the jutting architecture of flowering branches. As floral designers, we adore the juxtaposition of soft, demure pastels with their sheer height and commanding presence. There’s just something about that that just screams wedding, don’t you think? 

So don’t be afraid to branch out and get creative. Blooming branches look spectacular in weddings – in everything from ceremony arches to reception decor – and create a big impactful look.
