Jenna + Brandon's Bright White Textural Springtime Wedding

Jenna and Brandon got married at The Hillside Estate, and we worked with MK Event Boutique to curate a classic, fresh white-and-greenery floral vision that was accented perfectly with darker moody decor. Baby’s Breath and Roses were the bride’s request and brought the right textures for the Springtime!

For the ceremony, we designed four elevated arrangements on white pedestals and clear vases at staggered heights on either side of a white wooden cross at the altar. Pillar candles encircled each arrangement for some warmth along with the crispness of the white! Under the chandelier, it all tied together for a stunning focal point at the altar.

In the transition from ceremony to reception, the seating chart broke up the bright white palette with black acrylic signs hung on black boards. We brightened the area up with white arrangements on the ground that also added texture with more Baby’s Breath and Delphinium.

The reception had a mix of round and rectangular tables for guests, so we developed a couple centerpiece designs - white roses in bud vases with pillar candles and low, lush compote arrangements. The head table had trailing garland accent pieces on either end - these gave such a full, fresh look and we filled the design out with pillar candles down the center of the table.

The bouquets were full of Baby’s Breath and white roses, with white Orchids as an accent. The bridesmaids’ gowns were another pop of black that paired perfectly with the bright bouquets.

Lexi + Daniel's Spring Wedding at The Hillside Estate

Lexi and Daniel brought some French Rivera inspiration to The Hillside Estate for such a special spring wedding designed with Gathered Events - textures like Baby’s Breath and Queen Anne’s Lace and darker touches in the decor brought the right amount of depth to make it light and airy while still glamorous.

The ceremony was overflowing with flowers - down the aisle, at the altar in an oversized arch, and in arrangements lining the steps. This created a lush, layered look even with an all-neutral color scheme.

Following the ceremony, guests headed to cocktail hour, stopping by the venue’s entryway again where the seating chart sat with floral accents and candles. We also installed flowers on the staircase to make this area feel just as lush as the ceremony!

For the reception, we anchored the ballroom with four trees in planter boxes along the edges, with white blooms tucked in throughout for a bright pop. The head table held compote arrangements to line the center, with single-bloom arrangements in black and wood vessels in between for an extra full and textural look. A large tree-inspired arrangement was placed on the tete-a-tete in the center of the room, and was surrounded by guest tables with “mini meadows” designed to circle gold lamps as centerpieces.

The night ended with a dance party out on the venue’s patio, where we moved some arrangements from the ceremony that were revamped with silver, black and gold foliage for a fun pop to go along with the mirrored dance floor!

The bridal party’s bouquets were organic-style - the bridesmaids’ were single-stem designs with flowers like Sweet Pea, Roses and Tulips, and Lexi’s bouquet featured the full range which made for such a great effect with the group all together.

Ke Sun and Cong Bi's Vibrant Red Wedding Flowers in the Virgin Hotels Dallas

We worked with Silent Tea Studios on Ke Sun and Cong Bi’s wedding at Virgin Hotels Dallas, and designed all-red arrangements for the ceremony and reception that tied in perfectly with the venue’s bold red accents. We love how these ultra-vibrant flowers in the venue’s stunning spaces turned out for this sweet couple!

The ceremony was held in the hotel’s foyer, which meant a unique backdrop of fluted wood walls that paired so well with the rich, warm red flowers - we designed a semi-circle of ground arrangements to surround the couple and pack a punch in this neutral space.

Those ground arrangements were relocated to the reception to accent table ends, making the whole space feel more vibrant and lush. Low compote arrangements lined the rectangular table tops, and we curated collections of bud vases, fluted votive candleholders and tiny gold lamps to decorate the round tables. Darker accents like black table numbers and dark velvet bows on the place settings added a moody touch, and pomegranates were styled with the centerpieces for another unique pop of red!  

The bridal bouquet was just as bold and vibrant in all-red blooms, designed in a modern, organic style. Bright red Anthurium and statement red Peonies made this such a show-stopping monochromatic moment, especially against her ivory gown!

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: Red Peonies, Heart Roses, Red Sweet Pea, Red Anthurium, Red Ranunculus, Bohemian Mocha Lisianthus

Caitlin + Kory's Blue-and-White Ballroom Wedding

Caitlin and Kory’s ballroom wedding at Knotting Hill Place was the epitome of Springtime elegance, with a bright blue and white palette and statement floral designs at every turn - from oversized tall arrangements flanking the ceremony aisle to staircase installations in both the entryway and ballroom.

To greet guests on their way in, we designed a floral installation for the entryway staircase. A few other floral touches and pops of blue in the front rooms tied in with the lush garland, which popped even more against the dark wood and black iron banisters.

The ceremony in KHP’s indoor cathedral was filled with blue and white Hydrangeas, in tall arrangements that lined the aisle and low arrangements that sat on the ground in between to create an elegant meadow of flowers all the way to the altar, where a lush floral arch sat as the focal point. Glass pedestals, vases and acrylic seating made the whole space feel airy and kept all the attention on the flowers and the wedding party!

The reception repurposed the ceremony arch for the sweetheart table, and the aisle ground arrangements to accent the stage facade. With another staircase floral installation, cherry blossom trees and plenty of flowers on all the guest tables, the reception was full of lush, romantic Springtime blooms.

The guest tables held tall statement arrangements and low compote floral centerpieces, with plenty of candlelight both down the tables and throughout the room. Floating candles were yet another elegant touch and subtle blue details on the tables were the perfect pop for the neutral space.

The bridesmaids’ bouquets were designed in a classic rounded style and Caitlin’s bridal bouquet was made to have an extra full, fluffy look, featuring a lot of the same blue and white blooms. We loved helping turn her bouquet into an ode to her dad by adding some charms in his honor.

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.
