Sabine + Raymond's Dreamy Texas Destination Wedding

Sabine and Raymond decided to pack up and make the trip from Miami, Florida to Texas to hold their wedding at The Hillside Estate with the help of B Astonished Events. This venue was perfect for their vision of a dreamy, romantic day complete with a warm, muted color palette that we carried into the flowers — in an organic, textural style. 

For the ceremony, we designed urn arrangements to frame the space at the start of the aisle and ground arrangements lining it to lead to the altar with a floral arch. All three of these floral moments created a true “wow” factor in this space and felt so lush.

The reception was held outside in the venue’s courtyard space, with long rectangle tables down the center — decorated with low compote arrangements in white-footed vases and taupe taper candles. We repurposed the aisle arrangements from the reception to frame these long tables at each end. 

Round tables dotted the perimeter of the patio, and we repurposed the elevated arrangements from the ceremony as centerpieces for these, which made for great anchors throughout the space along with adding some height.

Sabine’s bridal bouquet was full of organic texture and movement with blooms in a blend of neutral tones — bright and clean with a touch of warmth. Her bridesmaids wore taupe gowns that complimented the fresh and subtle style.

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: white Cloud Garden Roses, Playa Blanca Roses, Quicksand Roses, white Ball Dahlia, white Majolica Spray Roses, Caramel Tulips, white Ranunculus, Bohemian Mocha Lisianthus, white Sweet Pea, bleached Ferns

Kirsten + Josh's Spring-Inspired Fall Wedding at The French Farmhouse

Kirsten and Josh wanted a springtime-inspired wedding in September, and our team worked with Shannon Rose Events to design a color palette that mixed pastel tones with some autumnal depth – including lavender, mauve, yellow, orange and burgundy. The floral color palette, pops of color and pattern in the reception space, and the perfect amount of warm, wood touches made this event at The French Farmhouse feel spring even in the fall time.

The ceremony space was floral-filled - with a collection of organic-style ground arrangements down the aisle with lots of greenery and pops of blooms like Delphinium, Snapdragons and Roses, and four tall arrangements at the altar. These sat on velvet-draped pedestals for  elevation with candles surrounding them for a subtle pop of pink.

Several floral statements transformed the ballroom for the reception, starting with repurposed tall arrangements for the head table - this time on minimal gold stands - mixed with colored pillar candles and small bud vases styled down its center. The place settings incorporated shades of blue and more touches of gold in the flatware. Other guest tables were decorated with compote and bud arrangements, with a balance of the burgundy, yellow and pink shades.

The same mix was carried throughout the venue with arrangements to frame the cake and mantle. Touches like the patterned linen on the cake table tied all the colors together and brought an eclectic feel.

Kirsten’s bridal bouquet featured brights primarily - pinks, purples and yellow, with a subtle touch of burgundy and greenery. In mismatched shades of blue, bridesmaids tied together the spring-fall style.

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: Kiera Garden Roses, Quicksand Roses, Cappuccino Roses, lavender Clematis, yellow Butterfly Ranunculus, blush Lisianthus, burgundy Ranunculus, Jasmine Vine

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!

Modern, Textural Fall-Inspired Open House at The Hillside Estate

Open house events like The Hillside Estate hosts are always a wonderful opportunity to not only meet brides-to-be but to bring new floral design concepts to life and explore even more ways to deck out one of our favorite venues! We worked with Gathered Events on a fall-inspired open house at THE that perfectly embodied the seasonal colors and textures.

In a palette of orange, yellow, citron and green, the event opened with a staircase installation at the entrance — full of primarily textural branches and just touches of blooms here and there. We also designed a large arrangement for the front table that took on an organic style and helped complete the entry statement for open house guests as they walked in.

We also transformed the chapel, namely with ground arrangements to line the aisle — these were full of fall-inspired flowers and paired with candles all the way down for a romantic touch. For the altar, we designed a full arch exclusively designed around fall branches.

Candlelight was an important part of this event design — it was incorporated throughout the space and brought in an extra pop of color. A mix of orange taper-style and white pillar candles kept the palette bright while adding some ambiance. We love how this all came together and embodied the transition from summer to autumn with a vibrant take on a fall time color palette!

Karina + Kenny's Moody Bohemian Wedding at The Meyerson

Karina and Kenny’s wedding was held at the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas and had the perfect elegant and bohemian yet moody feel curated by Rachel Willis Events, from a classic, simple design for the seating chart to ornate, patterned linens. We brought the flowers to match, in shades of ivory, taupe and berry tones, with pops of peach.

The ceremony was held in front of the Eugene McDermott Concert Hall and had two lamp posts at the altar, which were accented with floral clusters at their bases, and greenery trailing up the posts. The other floral touch for the ceremony were organic-style ground arrangements down the aisle.

The seating chart was another opportunity for floral accents — we designed arrangements with pops of color and texture that sat in planter boxes, and greenery lining the bottom. 

Guests sat at a mix of rectangular, square and round tables at the reception — we designed low compote arrangements and lush tall versions on gold stands. The low centerpieces had selenite crystals tucked in for a unique touch. A few elements gave the guest tables more visual interest — a variety of linens, best heads with flowers, sheet moss, and cloches with more blooms. For even more color and height variation, pillar, taper and votive candles in colored and antique brass holders.

The bridesmaids’ bouquets were designed in a loose, organic style with a different accent color — either peach, berry or white — for each, and Karina’s had a mix of everything. These added to the bohemian style with mismatched dresses in the same color palette.

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: white Ball Dahlia, Quicksand Roses, Golden Mustard Roses, Chocolate Lace Flowers, Chocolate Cosmos, purple Clematis, blush Butterfly Ranunculus, white Asclepia
