Summer DAR Wedding

Summer DAR Wedding

summer DAR wedding

Kathleen and Kevin’s summer DAR wedding was every bit of classic as you can imagine. Ivory and champagne roses, ivy, and delphinium for a touch of blue – the design was so perfectly suited to DAR. In an unusual turn, the ceremony took place in the Connecticut Boardroom – a new one for us. With the dramatic fireplace serving as a backdrop, we placed a lush bank of flowers on the mantle. Flanking either side of the antique clock, we fashioned a long, low design of hydrangea, roses, spray roses, dahlia, snapdragons and orchids in ivories and champagnes, finished with variegated ivy and pitt with a classic touch of green.

Blue dominated the summer DAR wedding reception flowers. A classic urn featured a spray design of delphinium, lisianthus, larkspur and snapdragons with draping elements of ivy for the escort card table. Gold bowls were filled with blue hydrangea and delphinium, champagne roses, white stock, spray roses and dahlia finished with variegated ivy.

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

Not all green and white floral palettes are created equal. This one here will NEVER go out of style and is truly as timeless as they come! Magnolia, eucalyptus, rosemary, and delicate touches of white… Add velvet linens and gold touches, and we’re smitten... 😍
