Planner Gratitude Dinner at The Cliff House

Every once in a while, we have to put on an event of our own! To celebrate 10 years of Wedfully Yours, we hosted a thank-you dinner for the wonderful planners we’ve worked with over the years and who trust us to bring their clients’ floral visions to life. Since it was in September, we pulled in design inspiration from the summer-to-fall transition and also leaned into a golden-hour color palette for a garden party feel.

Held at The Cliff House in Dallas, with one big space to work with, where we packed in a few distinct areas, with a long table in the center, and a fountain installation behind it up on a stage. Towards the entrance we decorated the bar setup with a floral arrangement and candles, and did the same for the table with the Nikki Smith permanent jewelry setup - a fun (long-lasting) party favor for guests!

We achieved an intimate dinner party feel with a mix of organic compote arrangements down the center of the table - with sprawling blooms and kangaroo paw for lots of texture and movement - and gold-toned candles for the warm, summer-fall style. Other touches like printed chargers, plates and gold flatware added some more layers and color to the place settings.

The onstage install was heavy on plants, flowers and grassy textures - a cool contrast with the stone fountain itself. Textural floral arrangements at the base of each beam throughout the room really helped complete the space’s full transformation and brought it more brightness and color - and levels with vines climbing up the beams.

With the added celebration of 10 years spent serving Texas couples, connecting with so many of the vendors we work most closely with was such a joy, and we loved bringing this late-summer textural vision to life for a fun night of eating, drinking and chatting!
