Vibrant Modern Wedding

Vibrant Modern Wedding

Eggplant and orange with bright touches of fuchsia created a jeweled, vibrant and modern backdrop for Monica and Tommie’s glamorous fall wedding.  Late November is the only time of year that bittersweet vine –  which creates a rustic fall, yet modern, tall centerpiece – is readily available, so the wedding was perfectly timed for this glamorous look!

Monica’s bouquet was designed using ‘High and Happy’ roses, eggplant mini-calla lilies, purple stock and lisianthus accented with hot pink ranunculus and finished with a delicate net of gold monofilament wire.  Her maid of honor carried a simple design of orange roses and mango mini-calla lilies that contrasted with her purple dress.

Four dramatic arrangements of bittersweet vine on two different height pedestals framed the ceremony area and created a grand entrance to the aisle.  Both sides of the aisle were lined with chair posies of roses, stock and callas in purple, orange and fuchsia hues.

The reception was at once rustic and modern in feel.  A dramatic gold manzanita branch seated in purple stock, orange roses and spray roses, and hot pink ranunculus greeted guests at the escort card table. Half the reception tables featured tall, square glass vases with naturally spraying and draping orange bittersweet berried branches.  The balance of the tables held floating candles.

The cake proved a true show stopper.  With a dramatic cascade of spray roses in orange and hot pink descending down one side of the cake, it was almost too pretty to eat!

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
