Heather + Hunter's Modern Black-and-White Summer Wedding

Heather and Hunter had a June wedding at The Hillside Estate, and the floral design and decor took inspiration from the bride’s black diamond engagement ring - we leaned into bright neutrals for the flowers themselves and tied in black details to give this a fresh and modern feel.

At the venue’s entrance, guests were welcomed with a sign paired with a low floral arrangement, framed by the double staircases accented with vines of greenery. The ceremony in the chapel was designed with ground arrangements and candles to line the aisle, leading up to a semi-circle of flowers at the altar, also made up of ground arrangements that the couple stood in.

For the reception, the head table was designed as a focal point with black linens and bright floral arrangements lining its center, along with two ground arrangements at its ends. Guest tables were covered with white linens and low arrangements growing up from the table - we opted for no vases to give the appearance of a small meadow of flowers at the centerpieces. We also added touches of flowers on the top of a small cake and a floral accent on the groom’s “golf ball” cake display.

The bouquets were designed in a manicured, organic style, with symbolism in the flower choices - Calla Lillies and Tulips, each to honor the bride’s mother and new mother-in-law since they were featured in their bridal bouquets. Panda Anemones added the perfect touch of black to the white blooms!
