St. Francis Hall already has presence. The soaring stone walls, the stained glass, the sense that something meaningful has happened here for centuries. When we design ceremony flowers in this space, the goal is never to compete with the architecture. It’s to frame the moment. A floral installation should guide your eye to the couple while still letting the room breathe. When done well, it feels like the flowers belong there.⁣

For Alyx & Alex’s wedding, that moment unfolded on the stage beneath a curtain of lights that created an almost celestial backdrop for their vows. Their design leaned into a modern black, white, and green palette with crisp white flowers and lush greenery that felt striking against the dark velvet draping. Suspended above the stage was a custom neon sign announcing “The Alvarados,” a bold and playful detail that captured their personality perfectly. The result was dramatic, romantic, and a little unexpected, exactly the kind of ceremony setting that makes St. Francis Hall unforgettable!⁣

Flowering forsythia and cherry blossom branches, daffodils, and a 👌 lily of the valley bouquet... Jen & Jeff`s wedding was spring perfection.⁣
⁣
And speaking of that lily of the valley bouquet... it is an exceptionally delicate flower with an exceptionally large price tag (except for maybe one magical week of the year that I can never completely predict), but we get it. We love it, too! Hey, we even use this sought-after bloom in our logo! (More on that meaning later.)⁣
⁣
But look closely at Jen`s bouquet. It`s not 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 lily of the valley. We added green parrot tulips and white mini-calla lilies to give it some oomph, plus twists of curly willow as a nod to the outdoorsy elements of their day. Every detail, intentional. Every choice, made with you in mind.⁣

Baby`s breath doesn`t sound like a showstopper. Until it`s layered with candles and scattered mirror balls at the head table of a Hotel Monaco wedding, and suddenly it`s THE most talked-about moment in the room - second to the incredible installation in front of the band! We paired it with silver compotes filled with white hydrangea, snapdragons, stock, and ivory spray roses for the reception tables. Let`s call it garden-inspired and just a little glamorous. Because "timeless" and "joyfully unexpected" are not mutually exclusive. In fact, that`s kind of our favorite combination.⁣
