Sarah and Nathan’s wedding at Stone Crest Venue in McKinney was a vision of Texas and wildflowers, designed with Shannon Rose Events and featuring a unique mix of vibrant cool tones in a collection of highly textural floral elements — a floral arch to frame the altar and a staircase installation as a statement in the reception.

For the outdoor ceremony, we designed a lush, overgrown floral arch that looked like it grew up from the ground, where the volume was concentrated and then got less dense toward the center. This was filled not only with a variety of flowers but several other plants and grasses to add to the natural feel. This achieved the statement look while also meshing perfectly with the backdrop of trees and rustic wooden arch and pews.

The reception had several touches that also made for floral immersion — greenery and flowers laced around ceiling beams and a dramatic staircase installation, along with a garland for the head table and accents on the stage and mantle. The space was grounded with deep blue — in the table settings and glassware — and the flowers provided pops of subtle, natural color all over.

The staircase, especially, created a garden-style atmosphere with lush greenery all the way up the banisters and a lush base featuring purple, mauve and yellow pops. The head table garland mimicked this style and, with pillar candles placed in between, created such a magical and intimate moment. The guest tables held a mix of arrangements in white vases and organic candle-and-floral cluster arrangements.

Sarah’s bouquet featured the full range of the color palette — purple, bright blue, red, yellow and blush all mingling with touches of greenery. The bridesmaids wore dresses in varying shades of blue that tied the whole bridal party together with an emphasis on cool tones and brought out the pops of Tweedia in their bouquets.
