Rachel + Ty's Champagne-and-Greenery Springtime Wedding

Rachel and Ty had a Springtime wedding at The Laurel in Grapevine, Texas – the perfect backdrop for a romantic, floral-focused ceremony and reception in neutrals from ivory to champagne, and added greenery to make everything feel even more lush! 

The ceremony space had a vaulted ceiling – perfect for an understated greenery installation along the beams, trailing down to frame the couple at the altar. A wooden cross accented with a floral spray in its center also sat up at the altar. We added petals and floating candles down the aisle for a simple tie-in that didn’t take away from the hanging greenery and cross flowers. 

The statement in the reception space was a floral halo that also hung from the ceiling, full of lush greenery and Wisteria. A disconnected floral arch was designed for the photo booth area as another statement and floral tie-in in all the guest photos! 

We designed two different table centerpieces - low compote arrangements and repurposed bouquets with candles for the round tables, and vines of greenery and whimsical blue taper candles on the long tables. Flowers also accented the fireplace mantle and a custom sign of the newlyweds’ last name, as well as the cake, which tied in with the intricate flowers piped on its sides.

The bouquets were romantic and full of fluffy blooms and touches of eucalyptus to complement the bridesmaids’ dusty blue dresses.

Lauren + Michael's Outdoor Ceremony and Reception in the Hill Country

Lauren and Michael got married in the Texas Hill Country at Windmere Farms, where Shannon Rose Events led the charge on transforming the space for an outdoor ceremony and tented reception in a color palette of yellow and mustard with pops of green and neutral tones – a perfect light and airy springtime vision.

The ceremony design centered around large organic-style arrangements that sat on natural wood pedestals at the altar and filled with statement blooms Delphinium, Mums, Roses and rounded out with other floral and greenery textures. Ground arrangements and smaller grass clusters lined the aisle for an effortless blend with the surrounding hill country scenery.

The reception was held just steps away at the venue’s sperry tent. A few long rectangular tables were used for seating and we designed bud vases and floral frog arrangements to line their centers, along with candles.

Given the simple approach to the tables, we designed a few key statement moments to make all the difference in transforming the tented space – a lush greenery installation hung from the ceiling for a focal point to bring the eye up, and tent poles were concealed with either faux-tree or foliage-focused designs that grew up from the ground.

Lauren’s bridesmaids wore matching deep green gowns that contrasted with their light and bright bouquets – also in an organic style and lots of textural variety. The bridal bouquet had the perfect pops of yellow along with romantic neutral blooms like blush Peonies and ivory and white Roses.

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: Blush Peonies, Quicksand Roses, Hues of Apricot Lisianthus, Caramel Tulips, yellow Butterfly Ranunculus, Spirea, Golden Mustard Roses, white Majolica Spray Roses, Nandina

Alan + Grace's Springtime Wedding at The Emerson

Alan and Grace got married at The Emerson in the spring, and wanted a soft palette and whimsical details to match. Jing Jing of Silent Tea Events was a huge part of not just helping our team bring the design inspiration to life but navigating unexpected rainy weather! 

We got to transform The Emerson’s all-white ceremony space with a mix of warm- and cool-toned flowers and foliage - we designed a textural meadow-inspired installation for the altar, dense with grasses and plants and accented with Allium and Chamomile. At the start of the aisle, we designed two floral clusters to frame the entrance, and two hanging baby’s breath arrangements in the rafters.

Baby’s breath also helped accent the outdoor cocktail hour, in the form of a garland strung with disco balls along the venue’s string lights. The seating chart brought in another pop of lavender and yellow, and made for the perfect photo op with a bell labeled “ring for Sangria” and a faux window box decorated with flowers.

The reception also featured a hanging installation, anchored by oversized baskets with greenery and floral textures hanging down across two long guest tables and framing the sweetheart table. For the newlyweds, we designed a lush floral runner and ground arrangements from the ceremony to bring in the same garden style. The guest tables had patterned linens and floral-printed taper candles for more springtime touches.

Grace’s bouquet was designed in an organic style with spring blooms like Ranunculus and Sweet Pea - and the bridesmaids’ were carried in little woven baskets for the perfect accessory with their light purple gowns!

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: Kiera Garden Roses, Quicksand Roses, Amnesia Roses, lavender Clematis, Chamomile, Blush Ranunculus, yellow Butterfly Ranunculus, Orlaya, lavender Sweet Pea, yellow Lisianthus

Mollie + Keller's Sunset-Inspired March Wedding

Mollie and Keller got married in March at Rest Yourself Ranch outside of Fort Worth and we worked with Erin of Clover Events to set the stage for a sunset-inspired wedding filled with a mix of vibrant and pastel tones, terracotta and rustic accents. The floral color palette was anchored by neutrals but featured rust, orange, terracotta and deep red tones. Touches of blue in other decor were the perfect counterbalance to the warm shades.

For the outdoor ceremony, we designed organic-style ground arrangements to line the aisle and added plants in between. Up at the altar, more ground arrangements of tall-stem pampas grass sat at the base of a wooden cross for a natural, rustic-feeling touch. The ceremony had wooden log seating to match!

The reception was also held outside, and repurposed the ceremony ground arrangements to create a focal point with a display around the cake table. Guest tables were styled with a mix of warm orange tones and blue linens, and we designed low, lush compote arrangements in terracotta vases to pair with cacti and amber votive candles for the centerpieces.

Cocktail tables were another opportunity for a floral touch, and we designed mini arrangements held in terracotta cantarita vases to pair with petite cacti for cute trios.

The bouquets were hand-tied with a variety of blooms and textures to match the color palette and rustic, winter-into-spring sunset inspiration, and perfectly complimented the rust-tones bridesmaids dresses.

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: Toffee Roses, Quicksand Roses, Caramel Tulips, red Ranunculus, white Butterfly Ranunculus, orange Butterfly Ranunculus, Bohemian Mocha Lisianthus, orange Wax Flower, Dried Bougionvilla, white Limonium

Love to Our Planners Event at D'Vine Grace Vineyards

This February, D’Vine Grace Vineyard’s Valentine-inspired planner appreciation lunch was a welcome occasion to celebrate the dedication, hard work and vision of so many of the planners who make our work that much better! We loved designing the flowers for this sweet event, all in a palette of pink and red.

Guests got to enjoy a coffee bar and espresso martinis, wine pairings with lunch and a photo area - the tables were a focal point of the room, with deep red decor like the pillar candles and place settings, all on top of pink and red linens. We designed low centerpieces meant to look lush and tie in all the red tones.

We also designed ground arrangements to accent the seating chart - a fun statement display that held seating assignments on heart-shaped cards. These arrangements were clustered on one side, and countered by a red balloon installation on the other. More red and pink pillar candles scattered in front added another dimension.

The espresso martini table was tiered, and we added a couple petite floral clusters on top and trailing down one side for another floral touch. Bud vases and more pillar candles made up the final touches throughout the space.

We were so happy to be part of this thank-you event for the professionals that orchestrate every detail of our clients’ big days - it was so special for them to get to enjoy an event like those they’re normally behind the curtain for!
