Lauren + David's Beachside Destination Wedding

This North Texas team is going places! Today we’re looking back on a destination wedding in Key Largo, Florida, for the sweet Lauren and David! This was such a fun adventure at a beautiful destination. We provided full-service coordination and floral design for this wedding at the Marriott Key Largo Bay Resort. This wedding was full of love, romance, and celebration!

Lauren and David were an absolute joy to work with - both brought so much life to their celebration with friends and family. At an oceanfront venue, this was a beautiful beachside ceremony and reception in the sand, surrounded by romantic lighting. We took this elegant beach feel and translated it to the event flowers. We designed pieces with lots of white and grey blooms that didn’t detract from the natural beauty of the location yet completed the classy and intimate atmosphere.

We adorned the reception tables with white compotes, bud vases filled with beach rocks and statement flowers, and bundles of driftwood that Lauren and David collected on the beach together. Candles were added to the tables as well to create the perfect intimate atmosphere. This reception was simple, classy, and so well-suited for this lovely couple.

Lauren and her bridal party continued the neutral theme with ivory and grey dresses, and the bridesmaids carried bouquets of ocean-plant-inspired bleached Italian ruscus that acted as effortless accessories. The bridal bouquet was the ultimate combination of tropical, beachy blooms, from white orchids and roses to tropical leaves. 

This destination wedding was one that all beach-lovers dream of! We were so thrilled to transform a new environment with flowers and couldn’t be more thrilled for Lauren and David. Wedfully Yours is always up for a new adventure, and this wedding was no exception!

Bouquet Ingredients: Phalaenopsis Orchids, Snowy Jewel Roses, white Ranunculus, Spirea, white Anthurium, bleached Italian Ruscus, white Butterfly Ranunculus, Sword Ferns, Tropical Leaves

Brooke + Jeffrey's Vivid and Romantic Winter Wedding

We’re reminiscing over a gorgeous winter wedding that managed to feel as bright and fresh as spring! Brooke and Jeffrey were a joy to work with and we had so much fun curating this gorgeous light blue, lavender, and pink-toned color palette along with our trusted wedding ally, Shannon of Shannon Rose Events! Held at Dove Ridge Vineyard, this ceremony and reception had all of the romantic and fun design elements we could’ve hoped for!

Brooke and Jeffrey’s ceremony was held at the venue’s outdoor ceremony site and gave us lots of opportunity to deck the space out with flowers. We designed aisle arrangements full of delphinium and greenery that made a statement in white planter boxes. At the end of the aisle, we put together a semi-circle of ground pieces overflowing with large romantic blooms. This setup was organic-looking yet overstated in the perfect way, and was made complete by gorgeous weather!

For the reception we designed an over-the-top double garland for the head table that sat in the center of the room. A lush garland lined the whole table in between the place settings, and an overhead installation held even more greenery and flowers on gold stands. This head table design created an immersive garden experience and we love the impact it made on the whole room!

Guest tables were decorated with smaller floral arrangements along with candles to mimic the head table installation. The gold accents throughout the space were the perfect accessories to the lush greenery and peach, mauve, and fuchsia blooms. The cake table was also a focal point and was surrounded by the arrangements that had been along the ceremony aisle, and the ground pieces that had decorated the altar area. 

The bouquets for this bridal party were just as sweet and romantic, and paired so beautifully with the bridesmaids’ blue dresses. Brooke’s bouquet was made bright by plenty of white and ivory blooms, which made the pink and purple tones pop! With this bouquet, and a stunning lace gown, this bride looked so elegant and timeless.

Bridal bouquet ingredients: white Peonies, Juliet Garden Roses, Snowy Jewel Roses, Amnesia Roses, blush Butterfly Ranunculus, light blue Delphinium, lavender Scabiosa, purple Clematis, blue Tweedia, white Ranunculus, purple Astrantia

We adored this wedding, and love any chance we get to dream up new combinations and styles of indoor and outdoor installations. These floral designs and color palettes are some we’ll never forget!

Alli K Bloom Launch: Hand Drawn Florals Brought to Life

Weddings are our forte, so other event types tend to stand out, especially when they’re anything like an AlliKDesign book launch party! We had the honor of designing some funky floral installations for the launch of Alli K’s third book, Bloom. A talented artist and savvy businesswoman, Alli K took her flair for artful wedding calligraphy and turned it into a multi-faceted design business manifested in how-to books, commissioned murals, workshops, and business and branding mentorships. She’s the artist behind our own logo! We were so excited to capture her iconic black-and-white brand and the essence of her first-ever coloring book, Bloom, in our floral design and help her celebrate yet another new venture!

This event was held at BREDA Studio in Deep Ellum, Dallas, and was filled to the brim with photo ops galore! We were so excited to leave our own mark on this fun and unique event and put together a few floral installations throughout the venue. At the entrance we installed an ombre baby’s breath garland that went from white to silver to black and set the tone for this flower-filled party. 

In the main activity room, complete with a huge “BLOOM” mural coloring page that guests could color in directly on the wall, we installed several baby’s breath clouds suspended from the ceiling. These were so unique and helped make the atmosphere truly immersive. These pieces were the perfect backdrop for guests decorating hand drawn-on cookies, dancing, and snacking. We also designed a larger installation that hung above the main seating area and overflowed with dried-flower textures and pampas grass. Smaller baby’s breath touches adorned corners of the venue and accessorized things like furniture inside and the champagne truck from Fetch Me Champagne.

We had a blast working on this event with Alli K and giving her first coloring book the launch it deserved! Since she’s known for the signature hand drawn floral style, there just had to be statement floral designs to bring this event to life! You can still purchase her book, Bloom, at Target, Barnes & Noble, on Amazon, or here on her website.

Brunchy Matrimony: Intimate Mid-day Wedding Celebrations

This week we’re spotlighting what we think is an underrated way to wed and celebrate with loved ones: over brunch! Whether you think you might prefer a more intimate and low-key reception, or you’re just a huge fan of mimosas and french toast, a brunch wedding might just be the perfect option for you! We’re looking back on two lovely couples that we provided coordination for that opted for personal and laid back wedding gatherings.

Rachel and Blake held their ceremony at FUMC Fort Worth and met their guests at Bird Cafe afterward for a brunch celebration. This sweet couple’s reception was the perfect intimate and sophisticated mid-day gathering for friends and family. We designed a garden-inspired faux garland made up of bud vases and greenery vines for the table. Complimentary of the dark wood and deep green linens in the restaurant, this simple floral design was the perfect way to elevate the setup and make it more personal.

Rachel wore a beautiful tea-length dress that served as inspiration for her taupe-and-blush-filled bouquet. This, along with her vintage-style clutch, were the perfect accessories for this lovely bride! 

Bridal bouquet ingredients: Lavender Latte Roses, Cappuccino Roses, white Sweet Pea, Quicksand Roses, taupe Lisianthus, Snowberry, Nagi greenery, Huckleberry

With a similar idea in mind, Jane and Herb held an intimate commitment ceremony and reception at Sixty Vines with their closest family and friends. This was the perfect romantic and cozy venue for these newlyweds to celebrate with loved ones! We carried the essence of this greenhouse space into the table florals, incorporating warm, deep-toned blooms, and gold votive and pillar candles.

Jane’s bouquet featured gorgeous burgundy flowers contrasted with bright white roses and accented by delicate touches of greenery. We love the way it helped make a statement paired with her stunning, classic white gown.

Floral ingredients: burgundy Dahlia, white Majolika Spray Rose, burgundy Ranunculus, Nandina greenery, golden Amaranthus, Baby Blue Eucalyptus, Snowy Jewel Roses, Wax Flower

While you may feel the pressure of the conventionality surrounding certain wedding traditions, there’s only one real rule: if it feels right for you, do it! These two couples are great examples of staying true to your own personalities when it comes to your wedding plans. Focused on keeping things laid-back, they created the perfect low-key and low-stress gatherings to celebrate their marriage with, and we were so delighted to be a part of them!

Laura + Joe's Vibrant Autumnal Wedding

Wedfully Yours provided full-service planning and floral design for Laura and Joe’s wedding, and we can’t say enough about how lovely this couple and their families were. Laura and her mom were such a fun mother-daughter pair to work with! Held at the Milestone Aubrey, this celebration was so much fun and one that guests will surely remember forever. With custom cocktails, an interactive photo booth, and surprise late-night Whataburger, this event had it all! You can see more in their wedding video here.

The Milestone Aubrey has an elegant and open feel throughout, and its ceremony space has a wall of windows that let so much great natural light in. For the ceremony flowers, we paired a floral-embellished wooden cross with a semicircle of greenery and blooms that create the illusion of a lush growing garden. This palette was a colorful take on fall tones with pops of bright purple and yellow. This ceremony space was light and bright and the perfect place for these two to wed in the company of friends and family!

For the reception design, we incorporated the same color palette from the ceremony into centerpieces and tall statement arrangements on the guest tables. The head table held an overhead garland overflowing with berry-toned blooms, yellow leaves, and plenty of texture. All of the designs were paired with lush greenery and lots of candles to create some intimacy. We love executing unique installations like this for an extra-special atmosphere that completely transforms the space.

Another special floral moment was the staircase. We adorned the venue’s gorgeous stairway with purple and lavender flowers and greenery growing up the banisters, and it was the perfect installation to help welcome guests in. 

Bringing this wedding together for Laura and Joe was a joy from start to finish. We love the longer-term working relationships we have with our full-service planning clients. We’re able to serve as a go-to consultant at every step along the way, and are right there day-of to help with all the details!

Laura’s bouquet matched her friendly and sweet personality to a tee. With such a diverse array of floral textures and colors, and perfect hints of greenery, this was the perfect accessory for our bride. Since ivory/wedding gowns still seem to be the most popular option for brides, bouquets are a great way to incorporate some personality and bring in the color!

Bridal bouquet ingredients: burgundy Dahlia, Cappuccino Roses, mauve lisianthus, Brownie Tulips, Cappuccino Ranunculus, purple Larkspur, purple Sweet Pea, Clematis, black Scabiosa, Kangaroo Paw, Cotinus, Huckleberry greenery
