Kelly and Marcus dreamt up a perfect vision of vibrant, funky flowers and decor for their ceremony and cocktail-style reception at the Virgin Hotel in Dallas — we had the joy of working with them from ideation to day-of coordination. The goal was a relaxed yet fun atmosphere that elevated the venue’s already-stunning spaces and decor.
We used flowers for impactful pops of color in the ceremony space, both through hot pink petals on either side of the aisle and a few strategically placed floral clusters that embellished a gold circle arch up at the altar. This tied in perfectly with the venue’s gorgeous abstract lighting and golden-brown walls, while adding in vibrancy with the flowers.
For the reception, we designed arrangements for both cocktail and dinner tables that continued the palette of punchy orange and pink tones — lanterns holding ikebana arrangements on the high tables and larger organic-style centerpieces full of texture for the others. Simple floral accents were enough to complement the natural vibe of the space, along with black linens and uplighting to achieve a moody, elegant atmosphere.
Kelly’s bouquet was the epitome of all the orange, peach, yellow and pinks that showed up across the ceremony and reception, with all kinds of textures that are just as vibrant as the color palette. It was truly a statement accessory to her stunning modern gown. Bridesmaids brought the scheme of brights with mismatched gowns and even more color in their bouquets.
