Winter Wonderland Wedding

Winter Wonderland Wedding

This past December we were pleased to work with Sara Muchnick of Engaging Affairs on Julie and Geoff’s gorgeous winter wonderland wedding! Everything from the linens to the flowers to the weather (!!) coordinated perfectly with the theme. It might have been a snowy day outside, but it was a perfect compliment to the decor inside!

Carnations were the flower of the night!  While carnations are often thought of as a cheap flower, used in this style – packed tightly together in long runners down the length of their rectangular tables – the carnations give only a feeling of luxe, modern, and in this case, wintery,  texture.  Accents of silver branches in white vases added to the wintery feel of the event.  The tables alternated between the carnation runners and the branch arrangements, which were also used for the ceremony decor.  For the placecard table, an orb of white carnations on a dramatic black hourglass vase added to the color theme of black and white.  And the black and white fondant cake rested on a snowy bed of packed white carnations. For the bride, a simple bouquet of white ranunculus and white roses helped round out the clean, modern feeling of the decor.  The bridesmaids carried black centered white anemone to round out the color scheme.

The 2026 Folger Gala had a vision for an event that was described by words like opulent Regency, peacock feathers, trailing plants, still life, Bridgerton. The linen choices were vibrant, full of pattern, and eclectic. We designed their arrangements with movement, color, texture and flower choices that worked with lighting for a truly incredible event. 

Never underestimate the power of color and texture to make a big statement.

Elaine & Trey were originally supposed to be married in 2020. Like so many couples, they had to postpone.

On the eve of what would have been their originally planned wedding day, Elaine’s bridesmaids reached out with the sweetest idea: send her flowers along with a note reminding her that her celebration was still ahead. Instead of creating a random arrangement, we decided to surprise her with something even more meaningful: a preview of her wedding flowers. Specifically, a sample of what her reception centerpieces would look like.

I still remember walking up to her front door. It was painted the most beautiful shade of green, and I remember thinking, “Of course it is.” Somehow it fit her perfectly. You pick up on little things like that when you spend your life getting to know couples.

A little while later, Elaine reached out. While she had no idea what we’d done, she simply said she’d just received flowers, and they were EXACTLY what she’d always imagined for her wedding.

People often assume wedding flower consultations are about scrolling through Pinterest or recreating someone else’s designs. For me, they’re about listening.

Over the years, I’ve learned to hear not just what couples say, but what they mean. To recognize when a single word holds an entire vision that hasn’t quite found its language yet. My job isn’t simply to copy inspiration photos (but we’re good at that, too). It’s to translate hopes, personalities, and half-formed ideas into flowers that feel unmistakably them.

Sometimes, that means getting it exactly right before they’ve ever seen a single bloom
