Timeless Josephine Butler Parks Center Wedding

Timeless Josephine Butler Parks Center Wedding

Wedding party in timeless purples at Josephine Butler Parks Center

We love designing weddings at Josephine Butler Parks Center so much, we just had to show off a second one this month! Bridget and Keith celebrated their nuptials with a timeless Josephine Butler Parks Center wedding, incorporating the softest and most beautiful color palette of whites, ivories, delicate lavender and pale pink. For Bridget, we gathered ivory garden roses, lavender Ocean Song roses, ivory spray roses, lavender stock, gardenias, Picasso calla lilies, white lisianthus and sage green seeded eucalyptus into an elegant, French hand-tied bouquet in a lush, loose style. Her bridesmaids carried similar bouquets in ivory and white tones, which sparkled against their lavender gowns. For Keith, we created a stunning and simple boutonniere from an ivory rose accented with artful loops of bear grass, and his groomsmen wore lavender rose boutonnieres in a complementary style.

One of the most gorgeous features of the Josephine Butler Parks Center is its fireplaces, and for Bridget’s and Keith’s ceremony, we created a mantle consisting of a long, low arrangement of white hydrangea, lavender roses, ivory spray roses, white and lavender larkspur, lavender stock and white lisianthus.

When guests transitioned into the reception, they were seated at tables that featured one of two separate but complementary centerpiece designs. Some tables were adorned with white hydrangea, lavender roses, ivory spray roses, white and lavender larkspur, lavender stock and white lisianthus arranged in a gold ceramic square vase. Other tables showcased the bridesmaids’ bouquets displayed in gold-painted glass vases. Bridget’s bridal bouquet served as decor for the sweetheart table, and for the head table, we provided simple glass bud vases filled with many of the same flowers found throughout the wedding, accented by ivory pillar candles. Delicate garden roses and a few stems of seeded eucalpytus provided the perfect accoutrement for the couple’s sweet wedding cake.

Bridget and Keith are a wonderful couple – after a timeless Josephine Butler Parks Center wedding, we wish them a lifetime of happiness in their marriage and we were very thankful to help them celebrate!

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
