Jessica + Tuan's European-Inspired Early Fall Wedding at Knotting Hill Place

Jessica and Tuan wanted their early-fall wedding to have garden-party styling and some European influence. We worked with Michelle Phu Events to bring their vision to life at Knotting Hill Place - we used both indoor and outdoor spaces to curate a relaxed yet refined and upscale evening of celebrating!

For the ceremony, we had a pergola of archways to accent with flowers - we strung Wisteria along the top, which created a cool effect of contrasting lush greenery with the stone. Down the aisle, organically designed ground arrangements with lots of fluffy white blooms sat at the ends of the rows.

The cocktail hour was also held outside, with a large circular bar as the centerpiece for the space. We designed a large urn arrangement to sit in the middle, and small clusters of flowers accenting the bar signs.

The reception was romantic, with lots of candlelight - we designed a mix of low arrangements - simple and elegant - and tall centerpieces for the guest tables and created a dramatic focal point by lining the stage with larger arrangements. 

The bouquets were designed in an organic style of all-white flowers and a mix of textures - Dahlias and Orchids were the focal points! The bridesmaids wore a range of green shades which looked perfect with the bright floral-focused arrangements.

Devon + Nathan's Moody Autumnal Wedding at Hotel Drover

Couple Devon and Nathan had a dreamy September wedding at Hotel Drover in Fort Worth full of moody, autumnal flowers and details. We worked with Shannon of Shannon Rose Events to bring this rich color palette to life in the perfect way - with touches of western inspiration and lots of texture.

The ceremony was held outdoors at a beautiful, perfectly-wooded altar site, where we designed a pair of floral pillars with ground arrangements mimicking a meadow of flowers at their bases. These were full of textural accents, greenery, and blooms in white, browns and burgundy. Down the aisle, lush arrangements were placed at each row’s end and added so much volume and drama with Texas grasses and lots of variety in the flowers.

For the cocktail hour, we designed some floral accents for the seating chart, which held leather squares with table arrangements. Arrangements of mostly light, bright blooms popped against the bar setup, which was almost entirely dark wood. Amaranthus trailed down the front, for another dramatic, elegant touch.

The reception was held inside, and the Drover’s space allowed for elongated arrangements hanging from the ceiling on thick rope. These were “clouds” of textures - greenery and baby’s breath - instead of flowers. We designed similar arrangements that were placed at the bases of the wooden pillars in the space. 

On the guest tables, centerpiece arrangements were designed for low, black bowls and featured a lot of rich, chocolate shades. Touches like lamplight, lots of candles, and colored glassware made these tablescapes more interesting and layered.

The bridal party carried bouquets with mostly bright white and ivory flowers and just touches of deeper, moody tones, which balanced perfectly with the bridesmaids’ chocolate-colored gowns. Devon’s bouquet had a few unique pops of texture and blush tones.

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: white Cloud garden roses, brown Orchids, Quicksand Roses, Playa Blanca Roses, white Lisianthus, Roseanne Lisianthus, Queen Anne’s Lace, Brownie Sweetpea, white Majolica Spray Roses, white Freesia, Brownie Tulips

Katie + Hunter's Fall Fort Worth Wedding

Katie and Hunter got married at the character-filled BRIK Venue in Fort Worth, with a soft, neutral autumnal palette curated by Maxwell and Gray along with our team through the flowers and all the decor and accents.

The ceremony was held upstairs - wood floors and seating make this space feel warm and intimate even with exposed beams and piping, and we installed a suspended floral arrangement full of fall textured like Copper Beech, Plumosa Fern, Mums, Roses and greenery for the focal point. The aisle was dotted with ground arrangements and gold lanterns to accent the altar design.

The reception was held in the downstairs space, where rectangular guest tables surrounded a checkered dance floor. We designed low arrangements for the tables, and accented them with bud vases and colored taper candles down the center. Above the dance floor, we strung Smilax vines through the rafters to add an organic feel in this more industrial-style space. The chandeliers in this room and the candles lining the tables gave it the perfect intimate lighting.

For the bridal party, we designed organic-style bouquets centering on white Cosmos with lots of other textures and pops of blue and gold that tied in with the bridesmaids’ gowns in shades of yellow and champagne.

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: cappuccino Roses, Chamomile, Tweedia, Ranunculus, Lisianthus, Astilbe, Cosmos and Butterfly Ranunculus.

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.
