Donna + Peter's Autumnal Louisiana Wedding

Donna and Peter met their friends and family at the groom’s childhood home in Louisiana to celebrate their wedding, and we worked with Gathered Events to design an elegant autumnal ceremony and reception - a mix of cool mauve tones and warmer berry and brown blooms.

For the ceremony, we designed a winding aisle with color blocked arrangements with moss accents. This led to a meadow-style design at the altar - arrangements on pedestals surrounded by clusters of more color-blocked flowers trailing out on each side. These were full of lots of texture and grasses.

Transitioning to the reception, the seating chart was set up next to a pond on the property - two metal frames on either side of a canoe, embellished with floral clusters and holding cards with names and table numbers. The reception was tented, so we used fall branches to help conceal the poles and add height and texture to the space, which was full of guest tables with a mix of solid blush and patterned linens.

We added meadow-style arrangements growing up from some of the tables, and lots of colored candles - amber etched glasses, dusty rose taper candles, gold holders - to add more texture to the tabletops. This was such a fun yet elegant mix of colors and motifs that blended perfectly with the backdrop of the family home.

The bridal bouquets were the perfect mix of all the berry, mauve, taupe and purple shades, designed in an organic style perfect for fall and the bridesmaids’ mismatched muted pink gowns.

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: Quicksand Roses, Westminster Abbey Roses, Barista Roses, Burgundy Dahlia, Roseanne Lisianthus, Peach Ranunculus, Chocolate Cosmos, Burgundy Scabiosa, Blush Butterfly Ranunculus, Brownie Tulips

Allison + Will's All-White Wedding at the Ritz-Carlton

Allison and Will’s wedding at the Ritz-Carlton was half-indoor, half-outdoor and full of lush, white blooms and greenery - we worked with Kasey Schaffer Events on a timeless and romantic design for this iconic venue.

The ceremony was outside on the golf course, which was the perfect backdrop of lush green space and trees here and there. We designed a floral installation for the altar platform that looked like two pillars of flowers framing the couple. The guest seating was in natural-colored wood-framed chairs, and the aisle was lined with all-white, textural ground arrangements, creating a clean, linear visual.

For the reception, we designed a mix of tall arrangements, bud vases and candles on guest tables - touches of gold decor and lots of candlelight made these long tables feel layered, elegant and intimate with subtle floral accents. The mirrored stage facade was lined with arrangements across its front for a statement in the backdrop of the space! For the final floral feature of the night, we designed an arrangement to decorate the back of the getaway car.

The bouquets were all classic, rounded all-Rose all-white bouquets. The bridesmaids wore pale sage-green gowns that were the perfect subtle choice to compliment the color palette and make the white blooms pop.

Kristina + Pierce's Bold Red-and-Pinks Wedding at the Stonebriar Country Club

Kristina and Pierce had their wedding in October but wanted to channel Valentine’s Day with “love is in the air” inspiration and a palette of pinks and reds. We worked with Jennifer of Turn the Paige Events to bring this to life at the Stonebriar Country Club in Frisco - the backdrop for an outdoor ceremony and reception.

The ceremony site looked out over a lake on the property and a winding pathway that the altar sat in. We designed two sets of tall oversized arrangements for both the start of the aisle and the altar that sat on urns and white pedestals. These introduced bold red and pink shades with a touch of greenery, and the aisle was accented with petite bouquets on the inside chairs.

The reception was held in the exact same space as the ceremony, so a full transformation happened in between while guests enjoyed the cocktail hour. Round guest tables had a mix of tall and low arrangements across the space and had simple, elegant decor accents. 

The head table was more layered - with taper candles in gold holders, votive candles, pink touches in the place settings, and understated color-blocked arrangements down the center. Chandeliers hanging above the table - with vines of greenery strung around them - made a fun statement and added some more light to this after-dark reception. The cake was another statement - a vintage style design with a floral meadow at the base and an “ombre” cascade of blush, fuchsia and red roses down the side.

Each bridesmaid wore a gown in a different shade of pink (and in different materials and patterns) and carried a bouquet in a different color from the palette, with pops of red tying them all together. Kristina’s bouquet featured all the shades and pops of white and ivory.

Ally + Drew's Coastal-Inspired Texas Wedding at The French Farmhouse

Ally and Drew’s wedding at The French Farmhouse was a unique blend of coastal inspiration and Southern wedding elements in a palette of bright, playful pastels and charming design elements like patterned linens, rattan chairs and baskets as accents and colored flatware and candles. This was named the 2025 Wed Society North Texas wedding of the year!

The ceremony site had a wooden door backdrop at the altar, which was accented with a disconnected floral arch on either side, with each color grouped together in clusters. Leading up to the altar, all-Hydrangea arrangements lined the aisle, and single-stem arrangements in baskets marked the start of the aisle with fun pops of color.

For the transition to the reception, the seating chart had planter boxes mounted on it that held vibrant multi-colored arrangements with purple, orange, green and pink blooms. Lights with rattan shades hung from a wooden overhead trellis made this extra whimsical and summery!

The reception was designed with lots of layers and dimension, including basket floral arrangements, colored taper candles in wooden holders, fruit styled down the tabletops, rattan votive holders, orange marbled candle holders and blue bud vases, all on top of neutral patterned linens. The cake was also styled with flowers around its base, and Hydrangea lined the mantle behind it. The stage facade also got a floral accent with color blocked basket arrangements.

Ally’s bouquet was all white, and her bridesmaids each had a single-color bouquet in a shade of green, pink or orange. They all wore blue gowns in different colors and materials, continuing the focus on textures!

Bridal Bouquet: white Peony, white Cloud Garden Roses, Playa Blanca Roses, white Lisianthus, white Majolica Spray Roses, white Phlox, white Larkspur, white Stock, white Sweet Pea

Ashleigh + Braden's Spring Wedding at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens

Ashleigh and Braden planned a Springtime wedding in Fort Worth at the Botanic Gardens and Zoo with Gathered Events - vibrant pastels made up the fresh, Spring color palette, and were combined with a classic, elegant style in the floral elements our team designed.

The ceremony was at the gardens, and we lined the aisle with organic-style arrangements that curved around the back of the chairs, leading to a floral arch at the altar. Several more ground arrangements accented the altar area to make the space feel lush and full of flowers. Pops of bright pink, peach and blue blooms stood out against all the garden’s natural foliage.

The Fort Worth Zoo was the reception site, and guests even got to feed giraffes during cocktail hour! Transitioning into the party, the tent setup brought in more color with blue linen drapery, and other blue focal points like the bar facade and chairs tied in. We designed two large “tree” installations behind each bar, and large urn arrangements to sit on the tête-à-têtes amongst the guest seating. Tables were decorated with floral runners, low arrangements, bud vases and candles for an eclectic, layered mix on top of subtly-patterned green linens.

Bouquets leaned into more neutral/white blooms with pops of soft pastels - the bridesmaids wore baby blue gowns that brought out the touches of blue Tweedia.

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: Playa Blanca Roses, White Cloud Garden Roses, White Majolica Spray Roses, Veronica, Blue Tweedia, Lavender Sweet Pea, Peach Ranunculus, White Larkspur, Blush Butterfly Ranunculus, Butter Yellow Lisianthus
