Ashton + OB's "Something Blue" Wedding at Stonebriar Country Club

Ashton and OB had a Fall wedding in Dallas, designed by our team and Jennifer at Turn the Paige Events - we brought together classic, elegant design elements with pops of blue, focused on romantic blooms. The ceremony was held at Holy Trinity Catholic and the party started at Stonebriar Country Club - a modern, intimate reception space and the perfect backdrop for the group to celebrate the newlyweds!

For the ceremony, we designed two classic-style urn arrangements to sit on either side of the altar, bringing in some of the soft, romantic flowers the guests would later see at the reception. The church’s chapel was a gorgeous backdrop on its own, so these arrangements were a great accent!

In the country club’s space, a long head table anchored the room with round guest tables around the rest of the room. We designed four tall arrangements to line the head table and make that the focal point, and a lush candle runner sat below the arrangements to make this romantic and intimate. 

Guest tables had low, lush compote arrangements at their center with floating candles surrounding them - more romantic candlelight! These centerpieces were focused on Hydrangea and had dainty blooms and baby’s breath tucked in to round them out. We also accented the cake with a cascade of flowers and baby’s breath across the front for another floral touch.

The bouquets were designed in a manicured style, with all-white blooms - garden and spray roses, Sweet Pea, and pops of greenery for some dimension. The bridesmaids were the perfect “something blue!”

Ashleigh + Jackson's Black-and-White November Wedding at The Olana

Ashleigh and Jackson had a November wedding at The Olana, a European style mansion that perfectly fit the couple’s vision for a lush, timeless black-and-white ceremony and reception. Gillian at Weddings by Gillian was our partner in curating the right mix of romantic, elegant flowers with modern, moodier touches.

The ceremony was held outside, with the back of the venue as the backdrop, which mean we had a built in stone archway to design around and frame the altar - large arrangements in white urns were set at different heights to complete the focal point. These featured hanging green Amaranthus, which made them textural and lush. We also designed some ground arrangements to accent the start, middle and end of the aisle.

The reception took everyone indoors, where round guest tables were positioned around a black and white checkered dance floor by Centerstage Floors. The wedding party sat at a long rectangular table with a subtle floral-patterned linen, covered with low compote arrangements in etched vases, bud vases and candles - layered but simple and airy! Other guest tables had a mix of tall arrangements and low single-bloom arrangements.

Ashleigh and her bridesmaids’ bouquets were designed in an organic, manicured style, more bloom-focused with just touches of greenery. Dainty blooms like Sweet Pea were sprinkled in to add texture!

Hannah + Peter's Lush, Pink September Wedding

Hannah and Peter had a late summer wedding at The Hillside Estate and we worked with them on a unique vision of lush greenery and vibrant flowers in pink shades ranging from blush to magenta. This design was a preppy, whimsical take on the transition to fall, with lots of nature-inspired elements, including a tree installation that made a great statement in this venue.

For the ceremony, we designed a garden-style collection of arrangements at the altar, heavy on greenery and the pink tones. The aisle was also accented with the same color palette, but in color-blocked arrangements. White, blush and hot pink flowers paired with lots of leaves gave this a great visual impact in the venue’s all-white, bright chapel.

The reception was centered around a tree that gave cover to some of the small guest tables and helped completely transform this space - other tall statement arrangements mimicked the tree and were surrounded by more lush flowers in compote arrangements for a “meadow” effect similar to the ceremony altar. Candlelight and etched glass vases were the perfect touches for these tables, along with patterned linens.

The head table was lined with pink-and-white compote arrangements in pink vases, mixed in with dainty bud vases and colored candles.

The bouquets were on the softer side of this bold color palette in blush and ivory. We designed these in an organic manicured style with lots of romantic texture. The bridesmaids wore soft pink gowns, so the bridal party still brought a pop of color!

Abby + Josh's Timeless Wedding at Knotting Hill Place

Abby and Josh’s vision for a modern black-and-white wedding with greenery and black accents couldn’t have been a more perfect match with their venue - Knotting Hill Place. We worked with Rachel Willis Events on a classic-style ceremony and reception with selective modern touches and more dramatic moments throughout the spaces!

We designed a collection of tall arrangements on acrylic stands at varying heights, paired with ground arrangements and candles at the bases for a lush backdrop at the altar in the indoor ceremony space. To make the aisle pop, we added more ground arrangements - all the white blooms and greenery looked bright, fresh and elegant, especially with the venue’s natural light.

At the reception, we added some drama to the head table with four tall arrangements on black stands to line its center, with candles and small arrangements below. Guests were seated at both rectangular and round tables, so we designed a mix of all-candle runners and collections of compote arrangements and candles. The arrangements were all-white for a pop along with all the black decor touches. The band facade was another opportunity for a statement floral moment - dense, lush ground arrangements lined the front. 

The bouquets were all white, featuring Roses, Tulips and Baby’s Breath for a mix of textures that felt romantic and dainty. Instead of black, the bridesmaids wore taupe stain gowns, which were the perfect timeless choice for this early-Fall wedding.

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: white Cloud Garden Roses, Playa Blanca Roses, white Majolica Spray Roses, white Fringe Tulips, white Sweet Pea, Babies Breath

Katelyn + Jarrett's Tropical Midsummer Wedding in Cancun

Katelyn and Jarrett brought our team and Gathered Events to Cancun to deck out a resort venue for their ceremony and reception - full of vivid pink tones and tropical blooms and greenery. It was midsummer and ended up being the perfect upscale lush, beachy vision.

The ceremony was outdoors, with the altar situated beneath an oversized arch. We designed an organic-style installation to hang overhead, featuring Bougainvillea (a local staple), Hydrangea and plenty of greenery. This was in a more neutral palette with just subtle pops of mauve. Arrangements in baskets marked the start of the aisle with more vibrant blush shades. The ocean and the venue’s natural vegetation were the perfect backdrop.

The reception was also in an open-air space, with a round bar, dance floor and a mix of round and rectangular guest tables for the seated dinner. Accents like rattan, wood, stone and colored glass brought in natural textures. A range of blush and pink tones were featured in the flowers and decor - colored candles made the tables extra eye-catching and layered, along with pink menus and glassware. We designed arrangements for the tables that sat in terracotta bowls among the candles.

A large arrangement accented the bar with lots of dimensional tropical leaves, and more pink blooms and greenery encircled the simple wedding cake on a brown wooden fluted table.

Katelyn’s bouquet was all-white with mini Orchids placed throughout to create an organic-feeling shape - this tied in the beachy style to the bride’s look.
