Walk Down the Aisle in Style

Walk Down the Aisle in Style

When it comes to your walk down the aisle, every detail counts! Finding inspiration in unexpected places can lead to truly unique and memorable elements. One surprising source of inspiration that’s gaining popularity is footwear. Yes, you read that right – shoes and flowers! In collaboration with Events to a T, Danielle Cover Photographer, and Sassanova, we embarked on a creative journey featured in the Winter/Spring 2014 edition of Virginia Bride Magazine.

The challenge was set: five pairs of shoes graciously provided by Sassanova, each to inspire a distinct bridal bouquet. The result? A stunning fusion of fashion and florals that added an extra layer of personalization to the big day.

From delicate lace heels to vibrant pumps, the diverse range of shoes allowed for a bouquet creation that mirrored the essence of each pair. The shoot, set in and around the historic Old Town Alexandria, captured the seamless blend of elegance and style.

Incorporating shoes into your bridal bouquet concept adds a touch of personality and flair, allowing brides to showcase their style from head to toe. It’s a trend that not only creates visually stunning bouquets but also tells a story, making the walk down the aisle even more special.

So, if you’re a bride looking to make a statement with your bouquet or a wedding planner seeking innovative ideas, consider the unexpected charm of shoe-inspired floral arrangements. After all, when it comes to weddings, the sky’s the limit – or should we say, the dance floor?

Check out more captivating photos from our collaboration and get ready to step into a world where bridal bouquets and shoes twirl in perfect harmony.

Where do you find inspiration? Some of our sources include Pantone, flowers like peonies, dahlia or protea (featured in the bouquets above) and a venue itself.

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.
