Meredith and Abhinav hosted friends and family at the bride’s family’s private ranch in Big Spring, Texas, where everyone was welcomed for a full weekend of celebration. After a rehearsal dinner and welcome party on night one, our team shifted into ceremony preparations, and later, a reception and after party in a speak-easy inspired space. We loved working with Shannon Rose Events to execute this weekend to the fullest!

In a variation of the design vision for the rehearsal dinner, the ceremony and reception featured a vibrant autumnal color palette of red, orange, blush, burgundy and pops of yellow. For the ceremony, held in the bride’s childhood home, we designed a semi-circle of all-Marigold ground arrangements to sit at the altar, at the end of rows of color-blocked arrangements lining the aisle.

For the reception, we transformed a barn on the property yet again, along with a clear tent for the dinner seating. In the tent, we designed floral pillars full of textural fall foliage for drama and dimension, and kept the tabletops simple with compote and floral frog arrangements. These had the same bold colors as the ceremony and popped even more with emerald green chairs lining the tables.

The barn-turned-speakeasy had a cozy feel with multiple floral statements - a bar installation, hanging ferns, and plenty of table arrangements and candlelight. The bar install was a major focal point, featuring lush flowers and greenery designed to reach from the ground up to the bartop. Guests enjoyed custom cocktails and got the full, immersive restaurant-inspired experience from the couple’s favorite spots in New York.

The bridal bouquet was heavily inspired by Meredith’s own style - a modern, autumnal and textural bouquet that popped with her ivory silk gown. She added a custom black blazer to the look for more of that modern, edgy vibe!
