We have so much fun creating the perfect wedding flowers, and Jessica’s wedding is the perfect example of why we do what we do: we meet with an awesome bride with desire for beautiful and unique flowers for her wedding, and then we get creative. Jess was a dream to work with – she gave us her inspiration (black and white with touches of gold, and art deco New York), and then let us play!

I loved dreaming up Jess’s bouquet. She knew she wanted white  peonies, and when thinking about adding in gold touches, it was obvious that a dramatic piece or two would be the best way to go. Enter our gilded succulents – magnifico, if we do say so ourselves! I just love the glitter.

We also added in a touch of gold to Chad’s white ranunculus boutonniere, with a gold leaf.

The girls also carried bouquets of white peonies, with black tulle collars added for texture.

Because the church is so large, we created two large arrangements for either side of the altar to draw in focus to the couple during the ceremony. We used white hydrangea, mums, and peonies, mixed with gold leaves.

Finally, we get to the reception. Jess had awesome ideas for the decor, including this New York City skyline backdrop that she commissioned a family member to make. Since the head table was actually two large tables, we designed two taller arrangements incorporating the black, white, and gold to frame in the newlyweds.

We kept the centrepiece low and simple – white hydrangea and mums in a low black vase.  For the cake topper, we played around with touches of gold, glitter, and white peonies.
