Karina + Kenny's Moody Bohemian Wedding at The Meyerson

Karina and Kenny’s wedding was held at the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas and had the perfect elegant and bohemian yet moody feel curated by Rachel Willis Events, from a classic, simple design for the seating chart to ornate, patterned linens. We brought the flowers to match, in shades of ivory, taupe and berry tones, with pops of peach.

The ceremony was held in front of the Eugene McDermott Concert Hall and had two lamp posts at the altar, which were accented with floral clusters at their bases, and greenery trailing up the posts. The other floral touch for the ceremony were organic-style ground arrangements down the aisle.

The seating chart was another opportunity for floral accents — we designed arrangements with pops of color and texture that sat in planter boxes, and greenery lining the bottom. 

Guests sat at a mix of rectangular, square and round tables at the reception — we designed low compote arrangements and lush tall versions on gold stands. The low centerpieces had selenite crystals tucked in for a unique touch. A few elements gave the guest tables more visual interest — a variety of linens, best heads with flowers, sheet moss, and cloches with more blooms. For even more color and height variation, pillar, taper and votive candles in colored and antique brass holders.

The bridesmaids’ bouquets were designed in a loose, organic style with a different accent color — either peach, berry or white — for each, and Karina’s had a mix of everything. These added to the bohemian style with mismatched dresses in the same color palette.

Melissa + Tommy's Black-and-White Wedding at The Olana

Melissa and Tommy envisioned a classic black-and-white wedding with organic-style flowers and The Olana was the perfect backdrop with ornate architectural details and chandeliers in every room. We curated a mix of white romantic, delicate blooms and paired them with greenery for elegant floral touches from an arch at the altar to centerpieces and elevated arrangements for the reception.

The floral arch at the altar made a big impact in the space with a mix of Hydrangea, Roses, Stock and Limonium — a great blend of blooms that ended up looking both lush and airy. The venue’s mirrored wall behind the altar reflected the arch from all angles and created a great effect in the small space. The aisle was lined with ground arrangements of white Delphinium and Larkspur strategically chosen for height.

For the reception space, we designed a mix of low compote centerpieces and tall arrangements for the guest tables. White taper candles on the head table tied in with the white flowers, and etched glass containers and candle holders gave the tablescapes a classic feel and added some texture.

Gold chargers were another great accent to the place settings and kept the tables simple and elegant. The ground arrangements from the ceremony were repurposed in front of the band stage for another floral focal point.

The bridal party’s bouquets were done in a manicured, organic-style design and featured a mix of classic blooms and delicate textures — Rose varieties, Peonies, Ranunculus and Sweet Pea — all in white. These brought home the black-and-white scheme with the bridesmaid’s gowns.

Megan + Nic's Textural Summer Wedding at The Hillside Estate

Megan and Nic’s wedding at The Hillside Estate was texture-filled and played off of fresh neutral tones and lots of greenery for dramatic floral statements that still felt soft and natural. We love how this whimsical mix of neutral and blush textures turned out — especially with other decor details and personal touches!

In the ceremony space leading up to the altar, six tall arrangements filled with blooming branches, Delphinium and Larkspur lined the aisle — they each sat on clear acrylic stands for added height and airiness. We designed ground arrangements for the altar that created a meadow effect surrounding a white wooden cross.

For cocktail hour, we embellished the venue’s outdoor space with some simple greenery touches on the fireplace mantle and floral clusters added to the ferris wheel seating chart display — a nod to the couple’s first kiss story!

Megan and Nic had a sweetheart table at the reception, which we designed a trailing floral garland for — a romantic, lush touch that, with candles at the base, created the perfect statement moment. Long guest tables held the repurposed tall arrangements from the ceremony and bud vases paired with sage taper candles — a subtle pop of color. Petite arrangements and candles decorated the round tables.

Megan’s bouquet was a culmination of all the best textures and tones from the ceremony and reception flowers — white Ranunculus, taupe Lisianthus and Brownie Sweet Pea for a pop to break up the neutrals. Calcynia added in the perfect touch of green and texture to balance out the Roses and Peonies.

Hailey + Noah's Romantic Wedding at The French Farmhouse

Hailey and Noah’s wedding at The French Farmhouse was the epitome of elegant and romantic with a palette of ivory, blush, champagne and light blue. We worked with Gathered Events on this couple’s big day and love how the flowers and other stunning decor elements came together for a refined and layered event at this gorgeous venue.

The ceremony was filled with flowers — starting with a lush lining for the aisle of ivory, blush and nude blooms with blue Delphinium in between for some height. At the altar, we added ground arrangements at various levels to add dimension, and several clusters installed on the door structure — a floral touch for the existing architecture that fit in perfectly.

We decorated the seating chart structures with asymmetrical arrangements full of the soft blush and ivory tones along with lots of greenery. At the reception, touches like settee seating at some of the guest tables really helped elevate the setup, and the whole space was done up with lush, romantic flowers and delicate linens and decor. 

We designed single-bloom arrangements to give a color-blocked effect to the long guest tables. Glass votive holders, blue flatware and floral-patterned chargers gave these tablescapes just enough visual interest but still light and airy-feeling. Round guest tables had compote arrangements for centerpieces and collection of light blue candles.

The sweetheart table repurposed arrangements from the ceremony to line its front and the tabletop itself was kept minimal with elegant taper and pillar candles. Sitting in front of a wooden door that we decorated with more floral clusters, this was a great focal point in the space.

The fireplace was another statement, also repurposed from the ceremony for an installation on the mantle and a surround for the cake table in front, which held a geometric tiered cake with another touch of blue!

We designed garden-style bouquets for Hailey and her bridesmaids, full of romantic blooms like Roses and Ranunculus, and just a touch of dainty textures like Sweet Pea and Tweedia.

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: white Cloud Garden Roses, Playa Blanca Roses, Quicksand Roses, blush Ranunculus, blue Tweedia, white Majolica Spray Roses, blush Astilbe, white Sweet Pea, Gunni Eucalyptus, Huckleberry Greenery

Bitong & Zeyuan's Elegant Summertime Wedding

Bitong and Zeyuan got married at The Hillside Estate — the perfect backdrop to an elegant summertime wedding. Silent Tea Studios guided the design of their ceremony and reception to include white and ivory tones in all the decor, as well as touches of blush and taupe for some dimension. We designed floral details throughout the entryway, ceremony, outdoor space and reception to accentuate the romantic, feminine feel of our newlyweds’ celebration!

An elevated arrangement on a welcome table made a statement in the entryway, along with photos of the bride and groom. A welcome sign was also accented with a lush ground arrangement of romantic and delicate flowers.

A gold circle arch was a statement in the ceremony at the altar, and we designed large floral clusters that were placed asymmetrically but created a balanced look — featuring Hydrangea, Roses, Stock and greenery tucked in between. The aisle was decorated with candles and white Rose petals — a simple yet impactful way to add another fresh accent of flowers.

In the outdoor area where cocktail hour was held, we added a floral spray arrangement on the mantle. A simple touch to tie in this charming courtyard area — complete with string lights — with the rest of the event.

For the reception, we moved the ceremony arch to frame the sweetheart table and turn it into the focal point of the room, along with ground arrangements in front. Guest tables held low and lush compote arrangements in etched glass vases. A cascade down the cake that flowed into a floral circle around the base made for another delicate, ornate touch.

The bride and bridesmaids’ bouquets were classic with soft floral textures like Sweet Pea, Astilbe and Spray Roses, with touches of greenery for a natural look.
