Modern Red Wedding

Modern Red Wedding

LGBTQ+weddings can mean nontraditional attire, like the black dress and suit these wedding couple opted for

Andrea and Marty wed one winter’s day in December with a rich scheme of red, black and white well suited to the modern red wedding at the W Hotel.  One of the sweetest things about Andrea and Marty was in how they wanted to weave meaning into some of their flowers.  For example, to celebrate the 12 years they had spent together, it was very important that Marty’s bouquet held exactly 12 roses.

The ceremony took place in front of the ballroom’s fireplace, which featured a series of glass-enclosed pillar candles of varying heights across the length of the mantle.  Flanking either side of the riser were dramatic, monochromatic designs of red flowers in black glass vases – red French tulips, roses and anemone.  A dramatic black runner was accented with red rose petals scattered along either side of the aisle.  Pillar candles graduating in height lined the aisle.

A striking white glass vase on the escort card table held a design of red orchids and tulips.  Andrea and Marty wanted to keep an intimate scale for the reception, and so chose low designs for the dinner tables.  The centerpieces alternated between white cube vases with red flowers, and clusters of three glass rectangle vases with monobotanic designs of roses, anemone, tulips, ranunculus or orchids.  The cake, with its intricate, black graphic design, was finished with clusters of red spray roses. The palette made for an exceptionally elegant modern red wedding celebration.

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
