Fall Floral Palette

Rachael and Scott took inspiration from their incredible outdoor ceremony site, playing up the lush garden elegance of historic nature, for their classic Woodlawn and Pope-Leighey House wedding. Adding in dramatic pops of burgundy, the flowers featured an array of whites and greens. A loose, unstructured bouquet of Café au Lait dahlia, ivory garden roses, white lisianthus, white veronica, and white dendrobium orchids popped with accents of burgundy scabiosa. To play up the organic wildness, Rachael’s bouquet was also scented with a lush mix of greens: silver dollar eucalyptus, sea star fern, oregonia, and ruscus. Bridesmaids carried a more petite version of the bridal bouquet, with white dahlia, ivory Vendela roses, white lisianthus, and white veronica accented with the same greenery as Rebecca’s bouquet. The groom’s boutonniere plucked white dendrobium orchid blossoms from the bridal bouquet and was accented with silver dollar eucalyptus and oregonia – it smelled divine! The groomsmen’s boutonnieres were a masculine clutch of oregonia and silver dollar eucalyptus, banded handsomely with black ribbon.

Romantic Outdoor Ceremony

The ceremony mood was set with two floor standing urns of dynamic, asymmetrical design. White hydrangea, white gladiola, white stock, white snapdragons, and roses and spray roses in white and ivory hues pulled the eye to Rebecca in her bridal white.

Wedding Reception with Classic Garden Elegance

The placecard table in a cement container burst with a loose and organic design of Café au Lait dahlia, ivory spray roses, white lisiatnhus, white veronica, white dendrobium orchids. Pops of burgundy scabiosa accented the white flowers and greens from camellia, oregonia, ruscus, and silver dollar eucalyptus. Garden elegance decor continued in the dramatically tented reception. Square cement vases on half the tables held sea star fern and Queen Anne’s lace to make these centerpieces look like they was plucked from an elegant country garden. The remaining tables featured the bridesmaids’ bouquets elegantly. A nearly naked wedding cake was adorned with modern flair of sea star fern and dramatic burgundy scabiosa to make it as beautiful as it was delicious.

It’s never just an arch.

For Kelly & Ross’ ceremony, we started with River Bend Club’s classic symmetry and used it to guide every design decision, from the shape of the arch to how the flowers were layered for movement and softness. Greenery grounded the structure, and white blooms floated above like clouds.  Every choice is about visual flow, guest experience, and the couple at the center of it all (including their dog, who clearly understood the assignment 🐾).

A Study in Simplicity.

White roses. Baby’s breath. Taper candles. Bud vases. That’s it! Except it’s everything. For this modern black-and-white wedding at the Hotel Monaco, the impact wasn’t in the quantity. It was in the intention. Every floral element was thoughtfully placed to enhance the space, not overwhelm it.

We’re big believers in letting design whisper, not shout, and this one spoke volumes.
