Simone + Drew's Vibrant Summertime Wedding

We love playing with fun combinations of bright colors, especially in the summertime! Drew and Simone’s wedding became a perfect opportunity for us to put together lots of floral elements with punchy colors that still looked very organic and classic. This color palette had great unique shades of red and coral that made a huge statement in the flowers, tablescapes, and the bridal party’s dresses! As the coordination team for this wedding, it was especially fun to see the full vision come together!

These two had a beautiful outdoor ceremony with the most gorgeous weather and blue skies! We designed a large floral arch for the altar and lined the aisle with voluminous ground arrangements in white planted that added to the overall brightness of the space, along with the white chairs. These flowers brought the organic style in but also made the setup feel classic and timeless with the white blooms and greenery.

In the reception space, we put together a collection of tall arrangements, low compare arrangements, and other floral touches. The tall arrangements were designed with that manicured style in mind, and took on softer, rounder lines with plenty of greenery tucked in. The gold stands that these sat on, along with the gold furniture, really brought elegance to the space. White linens and candles added to the upscale feel too!

Other guest tables had smaller arrangements in gold vases that utilized the same punchy color palette and unique blooms. We created another special floral moment to act as a centerpiece for the seating assignment cards on a round table. This installation was so dynamic and fun, with red, yellow, and orange wild blooms. The cake was a statement itself, too! It was another great moment of the reds and oranges perfectly complementing all of the gold accents.

Simone’s bridal bouquet had to be a stunning extension of this vibrant floral concept, and was filled with orange Dahlias, Red Tree Peonies, and other statement blooms! It was such a fun and bold complement to her dress!

Bridal Ingredients: Red Tree Peony, Orange Dahlia, Juliet Garden Rose, Red Double Tulip, Red Sweet Pea, Orange Ranunculus, Red Poppies, Orange Asclepia, Sahara Sensation Spray Roses

Laura + Josh's Timeless Summer Ballroom Wedding

Laura and Josh’s light and airy summertime wedding is the feature of this week’s blog - we can’t get enough of this natural, garden-inspired color palette! We loved contributing to this sweet couple’s wedding, which was held at The Room on Main in downtown Dallas. This venue, with stunning high ceilings and outstanding natural light pouring in, was a perfect fit for this fresh and bright design.

For the ceremony, we designed two large elevated arrangements filled with pink and nude blooms among greenery. These served as crucial elegant staples that accented the neutral venue space — they brought some drama while also coming across as sophisticated and classic! Later on in the evening, similar overhead arrangements anchored the reception setup on the wedding party’s head table.

As for the rest of the table design elements, the timeless and elegant feminine theme remained consistent through the use of gold accents, delicate touches of pink, and sprigs of greenery. We designed low compote arrangements for the round guest tables, and incorporated stemmed floating candles for that whimsical and elegant feel. With our collection of floral accessory items, vases and candle holders, we have pieces that fit every style we could design in - and they help complete the overall look every time!

Laura’s bridal bouquet was a lush and beautifully feminine collection of fluffy and delicate floral textures. It followed the same organic-style design as the whole event but was manicured to accent the beautiful bride perfectly! Her bridesmaids’ bouquets followed suit and looked made to fit their nude-blush gowns. So stunning!

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: Chiffon Garden Roses, blush Peonies, Quicksand Roses, Vendela Roses, blush Butterfly Ranunculus, blush Astilbe, peach Foxglove, white Majolica Spray Rose, white Sweet Pea

Samantha + John's Springtime Wedding at the Nasher

This week we’re bringing all the details on the prettiest spring-sunset wedding design to the blog. Samantha and John’s March wedding was the perfect embodiment of mauve, orange, rust and dusty rose sunset vibes and we couldn’t be more in love! This ceremony and reception were set at the Nasher — a gorgeous backdrop for a wedding — and planned by the lovely Keestone Events!

The color palette for these floral elements was built on a more typical foundation of spring and sunset shades, but was made totally unique and artistic with touches of richer rust and teal tones. For the ceremony, we designed arrangements that lined the aisle, voluminous with all kinds of texture. These led up to the altar area, where we built a circle arch full of lush greenery and sunset-toned blooms.

The reception was held outside at the Nasher, in a stunning area where guests sat among trees and strings of lights. Natural-style elements were incorporated into this setup, with wooden chairs and neutral tablecloths. Our centerpiece arrangements and head table garland incorporated all of the great texture and color seen at the ceremony, and were accented perfectly but deep teal napkins as a part of the place settings. All tables were decorated with candles to bring in that dreamy sunset glow and up the coziness and intimacy!

Samantha’s bouquet was a perfect extension of the sunset color concept and incorporated extra-interesting and dynamic textures. We packed it with blooms in a mix of muted tones and pops of color, and added in just a touch of eucalyptus. The bride’s and bridesmaids’ bouquets popped even more paired with the party’s mauve gowns!

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: White Peonies, Cafe Latte Roses, Cappuccino Roses, Sahara Roses, Mauve Lisianthus,Taupe Tulips, Frilly Brownie Tulips Taupe Lisianthus, Brownie Sweet Pea, Rust Colored Mums, White Scabiosa, Tuberose, Eucalyptus, Huckleberry

Organic and Classic: Elevated Garden-Style Photoshoot

This week we’re sharing some details on a classic event design concept that we captured in a styled shoot with Boxwood Hospitality and Sami Kathryn Photography at Klyde Warren Park in Dallas. Elegant, classy, and obviously neutral, white flowers are the most timeless of choices, and look great no matter the season or venue. We had so much fun dressing this amazing tent-like venue structure in endless white blooms and greenery!

To elevate (literally) the design concept from being limited to the tables, we hung vines from the ceiling of the tent to make the space cohesive and organic-feeling. Paired with fairy lights, these brought all the whimsical vibes! Two other staples were the arrangements that decorated the bar. In simple and classic stone urns, these statement pieces framed the bar area and brought some brightness and light in through the white flowers.

Throughout the reception area, we decorated the guest tables with small compote arrangements full of lush white blooms and touches of greenery. The stars of the table decor, several tall arrangements added depth and height throughout the space. Pops of blue added some dimension to the setup, with bright yet subtle linens on the dining tables and patterned blue and white tablecloths over the cocktail tables. Natural-wood chairs added to the organic feel and helped create an elevated garden-party atmosphere.

The bridal bouquet for this shoot was so bright and fresh, with many of the same white statement blooms like Peonies, Frilly Tulips, and Clooney Ranunculus. A mostly-white bouquet looks flawless with a traditional ivory wedding dress, and brings so much depth and dimension despite a neutral color palette. This bride was so gorgeous and classy in her gown that while simple, had the most intricate touches of lace. The perfect look for a garden-style outdoor reception!

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: white Cloud Garden Roses, Clooney Ranunculus, white Peonies, Vendela Roses, white Campanula, Frilly white Tulips, Queen Anne’s Lace

Adrienne + Tyler's Intimate Afternoon Wedding

This week’s blog features the lovely and intimate afternoon wedding of our sweet couple Adrienne and Tyler. These two held a small ceremony at Watermark church and reception at Communion Neighborhood Co-op. We had so much fun coordinating and designing flowers for this wedding, and love how these photos by Jennefer Wilson turned out - so classy and dreamy!

For the ceremony at Watermark, we designed a semi-circle of ground arrangements for the altar as well as matching ground pieces along the aisle. This space is full of rich, warm-toned wood and stone and keeping the floral color palette simple with white/ivory and green was a great complement! Even though Adrienne and Tyler’s ceremony was scaled back guest count-wise, BSR Wedding Films was there facilitating a high-quality livestream for remote attendees!

A laid-back reception followed where guests enjoyed appetizers, cake and drinks at Communion Neighborhood Co-op. We decorated this space with compote arrangements and bud vases with white blooms — simple, but so effective at bringing in some life and freshness! White linens, natural-looking floral elements, and a classic neutral wedding cake, made this reception utterly upscale and elegant-feeling!

Adrienne’s bouquet featured some of the same white blooms, including peonies, ranunculus, and larkspur, with some dark green Huckleberry for that sophisticated and refined look. Her bridesmaids’ metallic gold midi dresses looked stunning with their bouquets as well - we loved this whole wedding party’s look with their pops of gold and green in the groomsmen’s ties!

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: white Peonies, white Cloud Garden Roses, white Ranunculus, Playa Blanca Roses, white Larkspur, white Lisianthus, white Tweedia, white Sweet Pea, white Majolica Spray Rose, Huckleberry Greenery
