Kelly + Michael's Elegant Fall Wedding at the Texas Discovery Gardens

Kelly and Michael’s wedding was a case of an absolute perfect match between venue and design vision — these two requested a modern fall style featuring lots of bleached and dried blooms and leaves, and chose the Texas Discovery Gardens to wed and celebrate at. Full of lighter neutral tones and touches of toffee and orange shades, this was such a vision of delicate Autumnal energy!

For this couple’s ceremony, we designed an asymmetrical arch that took on that modern style and featured lots of texture in those neutral ivory shades with a few pops of color. To line the aisle, we designed clusters of blooms and candles to add the garden feel, especially since the ceremony was held outside. This whole setup managed to come across as light and bright while also Falltime-appropriate.

The reception was also held outside and had even more of that intimate immersive garden feel, with a stunning mirror seating chart and delicate flowers everywhere! Butterflies were a motif throughout the reception, and appeared as a special detail on the cake and in other decor, as well as in the bride’s accessories! Given the venue, this was such a fitting choice, and the guests actually got to explore the Discovery Gardens’ butterfly exhibit during cocktail hour.

The guest tables either had a collection of bud vases and candles, or low compote arrangements. All of the floral elements included that stunning toffee color, more soft neutrals and touches of greenery.

The bridesmaids continued the neutral palette with their champagne-tone dresses for such an elegant bridal party vision! They carried bouquets that combined lush blooms and dried leaves and flowers for such a unique textural moment. Kelly’s bouquet featured stunning toffee roses and other statement blooms in shades of ivory for a stunning, sophisticated bridal look.

Monique + Will's Moody Autumnal Wedding at The Emerson Venue

Monique and Will’s wedding at The Emerson was a perfect mix of quintessential moody fall tones and organic and modern textures. We were thrilled to deliver on the bride’s request for a stylish and sleek feel with this moody Autumnal palette. This event managed to blend the moodiness with light and bright touches, both in terms of color and shape/texture. We loved putting together this collection of tablescape flowers, greenery installs, floral arch and other statement arrangements.

Lush greenery laced the chapel’s windows for a simple yet impactful accent. Especially from the guests’ vantage point, this addition added so much to the understated stage area. Altar arrangements at the start of the aisle were the statement pieces of the ceremony and featured fall-toned blooms and lots of greenery that tied in with the window installs. 

In the Emerson’s reception space, we embellished with bud vases and floral frog arrangements, with a mix of taper candles on the guest tables. These created the perfect eclectic feel, and without linens, these were the main source of color and impact. For the sweetheart table, we designed an organic-style arch to frame the couple. This lush piece was the focal point of the room, with extra volume at the bottom through large blooms and tapered greenery at the tops.  

Unique from the rest of the flowers, Monique’s bouquet was understated in color palette and featured dainty blooms like Sweet Pea and Tweedia, all in whites and ivories for the ultimate bridal elegance.

Elle + Davis's Intimate Cocktail Reception at the Place at Tyler

Elle and Davis held an intimate celebration of their marriage at the Place at Tyler, and we were so thrilled to put the floral touches on this stunning refined yet relaxed reception. The venue’s architecture, furnishings and existing plants were a great basis for some simple floral design that elevated the space for this couple’s closest family and friends.

For this modern-bohemian reception, we designed several arrangements to decorate the tables, small bud vase arrangements and added greenery to the chandeliers to mimic the room’s hanging plants. The space was full of blush and soft orange tones with deep green as a statement color in the furniture and wainscoting. The flowers played off of this palette and added in the element of texture that gave everything a playful yet sophisticated feel.

Another key element of the bohemian-inspired design was Pampas grass that we designed into ground arrangements to accent the bar area. These looked gorgeous with the deep green bar — a simple addition with a big impact!

We went for contrast in the bridal party’s bouquets between the bridesmaids’ modern style with bleached Fern leaves and Lunaria, and Elle’s understated bouquet full of cream, peach and toffee-colored blooms. The oranges and neutrals that the bridal party wore couldn’t have been more on-point for the classy autumnal feel of the whole event.

Mary + Zachary's Elegant and Textural Wedding at The Mason

Upscale and elegant meets laidback and relaxed — a difficult vibe to achieve that fit Mary and Zachary so well! Shannon of Shannon Rose Events helped curate such a thoughtfully designed ceremony and reception full of nods to this couple’s history and with lots of room for special floral touches, which we ran with and embellished with a mantle installation, compote and ikebana arrangements, a seating chart installation and others.

With a palette of taupe, blush and ivory, the flowers brought in lots of brightness as paired with the darker elements like black guest tables and blue linens. The guest tables were filled with lots of texture, in the compote arrangements we designed and in elements like the unique black chargers and flatware at the place settings. Candlelight was the finishing touch, as always!

The floral star of the show was the arrangements installed on the fireplace and mantle at The Mason. We designed ground arrangements to sit at the bottom and installed flowers asymmetrically that climbed up the sides of the fireplace. With the white wall and mantle and the pillars on either side, this looked so stunning as a focal point.

Our other favorite touches were the cake and the mini install we built to surround it and the ground arrangement that grew up around the seating chart that sat on a music stand as a nod to how the couple met in high school.

Mary’s bouquet was full of the same crisp colors and was the perfect match with her A-line gown. Her bridesmaids continued the blue thread with their dresses in mismatched cuts and patterns. This wedding was a great example of a color palette adding so much sophistication to the experience, also made so special with personal touches.

Rachel + Derek's Timeless and Edgy October Wedding

Any time our team gets to take on both coordination and floral design for a wedding, we have the best time seeing the whole vision come together. And as we’ve shared before, we don’t think you can go wrong with a black and white color scheme, especially at a venue like Knotting Hill Place that ties right in with that classic and elegant feel. Rachel and Derek’s October wedding was a display of fresh bright white blooms and greenery, with a hint of moodiness in some black details.

The ceremony was kept simple and bright with vines of greenery on the floor down the aisle and two large organic-style arrangements that sat on black urns at the altar. The pop of black definitely made a statement against all the lightness in the room — including sheer curtains and clear acrylic chairs for the guest seating.

The reception had lots of flowers and greenery throughout, and featured more black touches that matched the transition from the ceremony to reception. The guest tables had a mix of tall, lush arrangements on black stands, and simple greenery-and-candle centerpieces. Tall arrangements are always a great fit for this space since they add so much height and can easily be statement pieces!

We always take advantage of the grand staircase in this room, and went extra-lush with for this couple! Lots of greenery embellished the banisters and we added some ground arrangements with more white blooms. The perfect photo op as the couple and their wedding party enter!

Rachel’s bouquet had the same organic style while still embodying the elegant feel of the whole event and her look, which centered around a stunning simple strapless white gown. Her bridesmaids helped round out the black and white palette with black gowns and similar white bouquets with fresh touches of greenery.
