Getting Ready in Style

The day began with quiet anticipation as Annie and her bridesmaids prepared in Twenty & Creek’s spacious, light-filled bridal suite.

Surrounded by pastel wedding florals that echoed the day’s signature colors, the bridal party shared heartfelt moments and an unmistakable sense of excitement.

Meanwhile, Henry and his groomsmen gathered in the private groom’s lounge, where tailored suits and polished shoes set the tone for the elegant day ahead.

Every accessory—from the pearl jewelry to pink and green boutonnieres—was chosen to perfectly complement the spring wedding color palette.

A Romantic Outdoor Wedding Ceremony

Annie and Henry exchanged vows in Twenty & Creek’s breathtaking gardens, with the tranquil pond and surrounding greenery serving as the backdrop.

Crisp white chairs lined the aisle, their brightness complementing the soft pastel spring floral arrangements. The design achieved a timeless balance of both luxurious and inviting.

Guests were welcomed by soft live violin music. Along the aisle, delicate floral arrangements in shades of blush, cream, and soft green lined each row, their fragrance mingling with the fresh garden air.

The couple’s young family members delighted guests as ring bearers and flower girls, adding a charming, playful energy to the otherwise romantic setting.

The gentle spring breeze carried the scent of fresh blooms through the air, and every moment—every glance—was framed by the natural beauty of the venue’s gardens.

Couples & Family Portraits in the Gardens

After the ceremony, Annie and Henry took a quiet moment for portraits among Twenty & Creek’s award-winning gardens.

The soft pink and green blooms created a painterly backdrop, perfectly enhancing the springtime surroundings.

When it came time for bridal party photos, the golden hour light filtered through the trees, highlighting the bridesmaids’ custom textile pattern and the delicate floral details.

Family portraits followed, capturing everyone from beaming parents to smiling flower girls and proud grandparents. These images didn’t just document who was there—they celebrated the relationships that made the day so meaningful, all set against the stunning landscapes of Twenty & Creek in Sandy, Utah.

Design & Details

Every element of the reception design reflected a balance of playful spring wedding colors and modern charm. Dinner tables were thoughtfully arranged with layered textures, elegant lampshades, and florals that added depth and movement to the space.

One of the many showstoppers of the night—the wedding cake—donned a custom monogram of the couple’s initials. Just look at how breathtaking it turned out!

The welcome table greeted guests with personal touches, setting the tone for the evening. Throughout the venue, floral arrangements—ranging from lush centerpieces to delicate bud vases—brought color and life to every corner.

Each design choice worked in harmony to create a space that felt both refined and inviting.

A Reception with Playful Luxury

The reception flowed seamlessly from the outdoor gardens into Twenty & Creek’s elegant indoor spaces.

Tables were styled with whimsical accents—a subtle nod to the putting green in the back gardens where guests mingled—and were illuminated by chic rattan light fixtures that added warmth and dimension.

The table settings showcased pink and green floral centerpieces and custom linens, creating an atmosphere that was both elevated and welcoming.

Guests dressed in bright, spring colors and enjoyed a mix of sophisticated dining and lively entertainment.

Children had activities (like this miniature golf course) designed just for them, while the dance floor came alive with music, fresh gelato, and the excitement of the bouquet toss.

The adorable bridal bouquet recipient couldn’t have been more excited.

Twenty & Creek’s Venue Layout

One of the most loved features of Twenty & Creek’s reception layout is the expansive back patio.

Thoughtfully designed with multiple levels, the patio naturally separates spaces for dining, mingling, or dancing under the stars, while still keeping guests connected to the heart of the celebration.

Large glass doors open wide to blend the Grand Hall with the fresh air and garden views outside, creating a beautiful, open flow that’s perfect for spring and summer receptions.

This versatile setup allows couples to host a celebration that feels both spacious and intimate—whether guests are sipping cocktails on the patio or dancing inside.

Heartfelt Moments on the Dance Floor

Some of the most memorable moments of the day happened when the music started. The bride’s first dance with her father was full of tender smiles and a few happy tears as they swayed together, a sweet reminder of the years leading to this day.

The groom shared an equally touching dance with his mother, their quiet conversation and shared laughter making it a moment neither will forget.

When the couple took to the dance floor for their first dance, smiles and quiet laughter filled the space. They swayed together, sharing a moment that felt personal and genuine, while guests looked on with warm smiles.

Later, the cake cutting brought a joyful energy to the reception — the couple laughing as they fed each other the first bites, surrounded by cheers, clinking glasses, and the soft glow of the reception lights.

A Sparkler Exit to Remember

The evening ended with a romantic sparkler exit as Annie and Henry departed in a beautifully restored old-fashioned car.

The warm glow of sparklers lit the pathway, creating a cinematic finale to a celebration filled with elegance, joy, and personal touches.

Conclusion

Annie and Henry’s pink and green spring garden wedding at Twenty & Creek was a masterclass in blending timeless elegance with personalized details.

From the lush floral ceremony by the pond to the playful gold reception accents, every element reflected thoughtful planning and the couple’s joyful spirit.

When people picture a perfect wedding day, they often imagine spring gardens or summer sunsets—but Annika & Johnny’s February celebration at Twenty & Creek proves that winter weddings can be just as stunning, if not more.

With elegant details, thoughtful design choices, and a venue designed to shine year-round, their day offers timeless inspiration for any couple planning a winter wedding in Utah.

All photos are taken by © Janessa Fuller Photography.

A Quiet Start Before the Guests Arrive

The day began with an early walkthrough—an opportunity to appreciate the calm before the celebration began.

The Grand Hall was already beautifully staged, soft natural light filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and fresh greenery dressed the staircase, ready to welcome the ceremony ahead.

Getting Ready: Classic Bridal Style with a Sleek Twist

Upstairs, Annika got ready in the bridal suite, surrounded by her bridesmaids and closest family.

Her dress was classic—structured, elegant, and effortlessly timeless. Paired with a floral-embroidered veil, the look was the epitome of a classic Vogue bride.

Her bridesmaids, dressed in sleek black gowns, added a modern contrast that felt both bold and refined against the soft winter light.

Hair and makeup by Marisa Rose, one of Twenty & Creek’s trusted professionals, captured exactly what many winter brides are looking for—natural, radiant, and polished without feeling overdone.

First Look Moments in the Bridal Suite

Before the ceremony, Annika and Johnny shared a private first look in the bridal suite. The moment was quiet, sweet, and beautifully lit—a perfect way to pause and connect before the rest of the day unfolded.

These early moments also gave their photographer time to capture emotion without distraction.

A Grand Entrance for a Grand Ceremony

The ceremony took place in the Grand Hall, a favorite for winter weddings thanks to its brightness and warmth.

A string quartet played softly as the wedding party entered—groomsmen in tuxedos, bridesmaids in black, alternating elegantly down the aisle.

Two young flower girls led the way with white petals, while guests looked on, surrounded by floral arrangements in winter whites and deep greens.

Then came one of the most striking moments of the day: Annika’s walk down the staircase, arm in arm with her parents.

The staircase, wrapped in fresh greenery, added a sense of grandeur, and the chandelier above caught the light just right. It was both a statement and a deeply personal moment.

A Ceremony Full of Meaning and Light

Standing before tall windows that framed the snowy landscape outside, Annika and Johnny chose to recite personal vows to one another in front of all their guests—a meaningful touch that made the ceremony feel intimate, even in a grand space.

The aisle was lined with lush white florals and greenery, echoing the classic, elegant tone of the day without overpowering it. With the soft winter light pouring in and a string quartet playing gently in the background, the moment felt quiet and sacred.

After sealing their vows with a kiss, the couple turned to walk back down the aisle as newlyweds—surrounded by the love of their family and friends, and the warmth of a space designed to hold moments like this.

Portraits in the Winter Light

After the ceremony, the couple stepped outside for portraits with their families and wedding party.

Even in February, the light remained bright and crisp—proof that you don’t need perfect weather to capture beautiful outdoor images.

The mature trees and snow-lined landscape around Twenty & Creek provided a scenic backdrop that felt naturally elegant and uniquely seasonal.

Dinner, Dancing, and a Celebratory Finish

Inside, the reception began with dinner catered by Marvellous Catering, known for crafting menus that balance variety and warmth—perfect for a winter gathering.

After dinner came the cake cutting and a series of dances: mother and son, father and daughter, and of course, the couple’s first dance.

The evening flowed naturally from heartfelt to joyful, with dancing filling the space as the night went on.

The Grand Finale

Later in the evening, guests lined the walkways with sparklers in hand, ready for the sendoff.

After the bouquet toss, Annika quickly added an extra layer of chic warmth to her look—perfectly suited for a winter night—before heading out with Johnny into the glow of the sparklers and cheers from their guests.

It was a beautiful, celebratory finish to a day full of timeless moments.

Planning your wedding reception? Here are ten wedding tablescape ideas to help you design a look that feels timeless, elegant, and reflective of your personal style.

A beautifully curated tablescape is more than a place for plates and glassware—it is the heartbeat of your wedding reception.

When guests step into a room and see linen-draped tables glittering with candlelight or basking in soft natural sunbeams, they instantly feel the story you’ve chosen to tell.

The secret to an unforgettable display is finding the perfect balance between trend-forward touches and elements that never go out of style.

Color palette, texture, and layout should also harmonize with the architecture and lighting of the event venue—whether that means airy hues to echo the bright, refined interiors of a luxury wedding venue in Utah like Twenty & Creek, or moodier details that accentuate an evening gala’s dramatic chandeliers.

The following ten concepts deliver elegant wedding tablescape ideas that will remain timeless long after the last dance.

1. French Garden Elegance

Imagine stepping into the Jardin du Luxembourg just as spring bursts into bloom. Pale blue linens drape gracefully to the floor while blush roses and sage eucalyptus spill from low, pedestal compotes.

Antique-gold flatware and crystal stemware catch the light, casting a soft glimmer across each setting. Finish the look with petite taper-candle clusters in heirloom brass holders.

This style thrives under expansive windows or within a lush courtyard—venues where garden vistas feel only an arm’s reach away.

For couples craving romance with a dash of European charm, French Garden Elegance remains perpetually en vogue.

2. Black-and-White Chic Contemporary

High-contrast black-and-white tables provide editorial punch and photograph beautifully.

A crisp ivory tablecloth sets the base; lacquered black flatware and high-gloss black charger plates deliver impact. Florals remain minimal: perhaps a structured arrangement of phalaenopsis orchids or sculpted calla lilies.

Graphic menu cards and seating charts echo modern typography.

Round tables give the room a sense of ease and natural flow, keeping the atmosphere intimate while still feeling polished and elevated.

3. Cottagecore Romance

This look blends the softness of an English countryside garden with the inviting warmth of a backyard celebration.

Natural textures take center stage—think woven whicker, leafy green installations, and wildflower-inspired florals in soft pinks, creams, and greens. Everything feels airy and intentional, yet grounded in nature.

Pale wood chairs echo the natural tones and keep the palette breezy and cohesive.

White farmhouse tables anchor the space, while delicate patterned linens add a gentle layer of detail. Soft blush and pale green blooms spill casually from centerpieces, mimicking freshly gathered garden arrangements.

This design is all about harmony—organic, romantic, and quietly elevated. It’s cottagecore reimagined for a luxury event: fresh, thoughtful, and overflowing with seasonal charm.

4. Bold Head-Table Statement

Your head table is a stage set for the newlyweds—why not give it its own spotlight?

Start with a color story drawn from the soft hues of a summer sunset—think pale yellow, lilac, cloud white, and tranquil blue. These tones bring a dreamy, romantic atmosphere to your reception.

Opt for a silky linen on a rectangular table, then build a delicate floral meadow: airy, unstructured blooms that rise and dip like wisps of evening light.

Crystal glassware and candle votives bring in subtle blues and pair nicely with soft gold or matte silver flatware for a refined finish.

The surrounding guest tables can echo these gentle shades in a more understated way, while the head table’s elevated design ensures every toast feels like golden hour.

5. Old-World Vintage Glamour

For couples who adore history’s rich textures, an old-world design drenched in jewel tones never disappoints.

Emerald linens anchor cut-crystal goblets and gold-rimmed charger plates, while ornate candlesticks lend a glow befitting a Venetian palazzo.

Velvet napkins tied with silk-tassel cords and wax-sealed menus round out the narrative.

Dimmed chandeliers combined with pin-spot lighting create shadows that heighten drama—ideal for ballrooms or libraries where dark paneling or floral accents frame the reception scene.

6. Stonefruit & Sand: A Late Summer Palette

Light greens, taupe, and plum tones layer effortlessly: stonewashed linen, handmade ceramic plates, and caramel leather napkin rings set a warm, earthy foundation.

You could go for either wild florals or artfully placed fruits—think apricots, figs, and peaches—to bring natural color and organic texture to each table. Their subtle blush and golden hues echo the natural palette without overwhelming it.

Terracotta bud vases and sculptural taper candles add height and interest, while the inclusion of fruits keeps the look seasonal and grounded. Mixing long farmhouse tables with rounded guest tables changes the rhythm of the space and encourages intimate conversation.

The result is a refined take on Western-inspired design—still rooted in warmth and simplicity, but softened with the ephemeral beauty of summer harvests.

7. Coastal-Inspired Elegance: Blue & White Done Right

This palette is all about simplicity, brightness, and the kind of romance that feels as natural as a breeze off the Atlantic.

Soft blue table runners draped over crisp white farmhouse tables create a look that’s both elevated and approachable—a subtle nod to a North Carolina beach house or a Hamptons garden party.

Tapered blue candles echo the linen’s hue, adding height and a soft glow, while delicate white roses and blush-toned florals keep things fresh and feminine. The warm wood tones of the chairs ground the look, giving just enough contrast without overpowering the palette.

It’s a style that says “refined” without trying too hard—ideal for couples who love a minimal, clean design that still feels full of heart. This tablescape invites guests to breathe, linger, and take in the beauty of intentional simplicity.

8. Botanical Brunch Bloom

Hosting a midday celebration? Embrace the brightness of daytime with an energetic mix of deep maroon, blush pink, and vivid citrus tones.

Style each place setting with black chargers for contrast, layered with bright linen napkins and modern menus. Bud vases filled with cheerful ranunculus, sweet peas, and lisianthus line the center of the table, keeping the look fresh and playful.

Sprinkle in candlesticks with slim black bases for visual rhythm, and consider layering in deep-toned glassware or gold flatware for extra polish.

This look is ideal for venues with natural light and light-toned floors, where colors pop and details shine—like at a garden-inspired event venue designed to feel fresh and open from morning to afternoon.

9. Blue Linen & Garden Bloom Elegance

Sky-blue linens bring a refreshing and seasonal foundation to this vibrant summer celebration. The soft tone sets off the natural wood tones of the chairs, creating a balanced, airy aesthetic that feels both timeless and alive.

Floral arrangements burst with seasonal color—pinks, yellows, corals, and blues—gathered in whimsical centerpieces that feel like they were just clipped from a garden in full bloom. The mix of shapes and heights adds depth, while bud vases and votive candles scatter soft light across each table.

Perfect for outdoor soirées or airy indoor receptions, this look is ideal for couples who want to embrace the joy and color of summer while maintaining an effortlessly sophisticated atmosphere.

10. Pastel Spring Soirée

Softness takes center stage in this refined take on springtime elegance. Stacked farmhouse tables stretch the length of the room, creating leading lines that draw guests into the experience. Pale blush and linen-hued runners offer a muted base, while gold chargers and flatware add warmth and polish.

Powder blue glassware introduces a cool, refreshing contrast—subtle but striking. Taper candles in clear holders line the table in clusters, casting a gentle glow that enhances the delicate palette.

Florals stay light and airy: think soft pink ranunculus, buttery garden roses, pale lilac, and hints of baby blue delphinium, artfully arranged to feel romantic but not overly styled.

The overall effect is fresh and graceful—perfect for a spring wedding or bridal dinner where understated beauty and intentional detail set the tone.

Layout & Flow Matter

Even the most exquisite décor falters without a thoughtful reception layout.

Long banquet rows create a communal, family-style atmosphere. Round tables encourage intimate conversation among smaller groups.

Hybrids—rectangular head tables flanked by round guest tables—provide dimensional interest and flexible seating.

Consider ceiling height, window placement, and architectural focal points when deciding table orientation.

At a sophisticated event venue near Salt Lake City, vaulted ceilings or sweeping garden views might beg for tables aligned to maximize sight-lines, allowing both décor and scenery to star equally in every photograph.

Styling Checklist & Vendor Collaboration

1. Linens & Runners – Foundation of your color story.
2. Chargers & Plates – Opportunity for texture (marble, rattan, gilt).
3. Flatware & Glassware – Metals set the tone; glass shapes influence atmosphere.
4. Stationery – Menus, place cards, table numbers add personalization.
5. Lighting – Taper candles, votives, or suspended fixtures dictate mood.
6. Florals & Greenery – Establish scale, height, and fragrance.
7. Keepsake Favors – Personalized notes, pressed-flower bookmarks, artisan chocolates.

Share mood boards with your planner and florist early so they can source specialty items.

When touring venues, note existing finishes—stone fireplaces, white shiplap, or modern steel beams—to guide complementary décor choices.

There’s something effortlessly timeless about a black-and-white wedding—especially in the middle of summer when everything feels bright and fresh.

For Kelsy and Sam, that classic palette came to life at Twenty & Creek with white florals, fresh greenery, and a modern, minimal design that felt elevated but still personal. Their June wedding was the perfect mix of style, sentiment, and celebration.

The Dream Venue To Set the Scene

Kelsy and Sam were actually one of the very first couples to book their wedding at Twenty & Creek—before the venue had even officially opened. From day one, they believed in the space and its potential. That early trust set the tone for a day that was full of intention and love from beginning to end.

A Morning Full of Meaning

The day began with a calm and happy energy. After grabbing a sneak peak of the venue’s décor, Kelsy got ready in the upstairs bridal suite with her closest friends and family.

There was laughter, music, a few happy tears—and lots of meaningful little moments that made the morning special.

The space itself, full of natural light and elegant details, offered the perfect setting to soak in the anticipation.

Meanwhile, Sam and his groomsmen were in the groom’s lounge downstairs.

It’s designed to be a comfortable, fun hangout before the ceremony, and that’s exactly how they used it—relaxing, telling stories, and hyping each other up before the big moment.

A Quiet First Look

Before guests took their seats in the gardens, Kelsy and Sam had a private first look outside.

It was simple and sweet—a quiet moment to just be together, take a deep breath, and let the day sink in before everything officially began.

A Garden Ceremony with Heart

Their ceremony took place in the gardens, with mature trees, bright summer blooms, and the gentle sound of water from the nearby stream creating a beautiful natural backdrop.

The weather couldn’t have been better.

The look was clean and modern: white florals and greenery framed the altar, while the bridal party wore timeless black—bridesmaids in black dresses and groomsmen in tuxedos. It all popped beautifully against the greenery.

As Kelsy walked down the aisle with her dad, you could feel how meaningful the moment was.

And when the couple shared their vows, there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd. Their words were heartfelt and personal—exactly the kind of ceremony that sticks with you.

The ceremony was a meaningful pause in the day—one of those rare moments when everyone could slow down, take in the setting, and just be present.

Surrounded by greenery and summer light, guests gathered in the garden not just to witness a wedding, but to share in something special. It was simple, heartfelt, and a reminder of what really matters: love, connection, and the people who show up for each other.

A Quick Toast to Forever

After the ceremony, before heading into the celebration, Kelsy and Sam slipped away to the bridal suite to sign their marriage license.

That small moment, just the two of them, was full of happiness. They laughed, hugged, and soaked in the excitement before heading back out to join their guests and kick off the evening.

Post-Ceremony Portraits in the Garden

After signing their wedding license in the bridal suite—a quick, joyful moment shared just between the two of them—Kelsy and Sam headed out to take photos with their family and bridal party.

The energy was light and happy, with everyone soaking in the excitement of the day. The gardens and natural light made for the perfect backdrop, and the group shared laughs, sweet moments, and a few candid shots that captured the fun and connection between them all.

It was the perfect transition from ceremony to celebration.

Custom Touches, Made Just for Them

One of the things that made this wedding feel so special was how well it reflected Kelsy and Sam’s style. Their planner, Ruby Jane Events, brought in custom signage, coordinated design elements, and signature cocktails that tied everything together.

The black-and-white theme carried through the entire day but never felt too formal—it was clean, thoughtful, and warm.

Those personalized details helped transform the venue into something that felt completely theirs.

Twenty & Creek is designed to be a flexible, beautiful canvas, and Kelsy and Sam used it to the fullest—every space felt intentional and full of personality.

The Reception: Full of Joy

The celebration continued in the Grand Hall, with its tall windows, statement chandeliers, and classic architecture setting the tone for an unforgettable evening.

There were heartfelt toasts, a packed dance floor, and lots of laughter—everything you’d want from a wedding night.

But more than anything, there was a sense of togetherness. Whether guests were mingling outside under the bistro lights or dancing late into the night, the energy was joyful and connected.

Toward the end of the night, with loved ones gathered around, Kelsy and Sam shared a special last dance. It was a sweet, full-circle moment—surrounded by the people who had been part of their day from the very beginning, ending the celebration just as meaningfully as it began.

A Day to Remember

Kelsy and Sam’s wedding was a beautiful example of what we love most at Twenty & Creek: when a couple brings their own style, love story, and energy to the space and makes it entirely their own.

Their trust in the venue, even before the doors officially opened, makes their celebration all the more meaningful to us.

It was a day that blended elegance and ease, tradition and personality, design and heart.

Today, we’re talking with one of Utah’s top florists for luxury weddings, Mandy Hutchinson of The Potted Pansy. Known for her earthy, artful designs and heartfelt approach, Mandy brings a distinctive, nature-inspired style to every celebration she touches.

Can you tell us a little about The Potted Pansy and what inspires your floral designs? How would you describe your signature floral style, and what makes it unique?

At The Potted Pansy, we embrace the way the outer petals of a rose are worn and weathered. Imperfect and bruised by all standards, and yet, it is those petals that are protecting the inner perfect. It’s symbolic and beautiful—and we love them that way.

We’re inspired by the raw wildness of nature: the way a tiny plant pushes through the earth to survive, and how weeds, twigs, and unexpected bits of plants add life and depth to each arrangement. It’s not just blooms that create beauty, but the imperfect pieces in between. That symbolism resonates deeply with life—and with your wedding day.

Weddings are the culminating event of your love, the celebration of your being. We design florals that reflect your personalities, weaving lush blooms with textural elements and a hint of earth to create an atmosphere full of meaning.

Our signature style is wild, textural, and unexpected—featuring the way each flower bends and moves, the little quirks that make them beautiful. You’ll see desert elements, creative color palettes, and intentional imperfection throughout. And we’ll be just as excited about your day as you are.

3. What are your favorite flowers to use in wedding arrangements, and are there any underrated florals couples should consider?

There are just too many incredible flowers to choose just one—or even a few! One of the beautiful things about naturally growing flowers is how they shift and change with the seasons. That’s part of the magic.

I always encourage clients to stay open during the design process. Different flowers thrive at different times of the year. When we lean into what’s best in-season, we get healthier, stronger, and more beautiful blooms. Trust your florist to source exceptional flowers—often underrated varieties shine brightest in the right context.

4. How do you help couples choose flowers that complement their wedding style and venue?

We love really getting to know our couples—through in-person or video consultations—observing the way they interact, listening to their stories, and learning about any sentimental elements they want to include. That process helps us fine-tune each design to be truly unique.

Couples don’t need to know anything about flowers—that’s our job! We’ll create something that enhances the wedding’s style and venue, while weaving in anything meaningful they’ve shared.

5. What wedding floral trends are you loving right now?

• Statement tablescapes, especially at the sweetheart or head table
• Tons of texture
• Monochromatic color themes
• Full, flowing florals that connect table to table with cohesion and creativity
• Non-traditional table setups that allow for artistic floral expressions

6. What advice do you have for couples who want stunning florals on a budget?

Focus on what matters most! Impact is everything. Instead of spreading florals thinly across every space, choose pieces that create the most emotional response. Ask: What will make your guests gasp? What do you care about most? Do that.

7. Where should couples focus their floral budget for the biggest impact?

Focus on 1–3 areas that truly matter to you—whether it’s the ceremony backdrop, the sweetheart table, a grand staircase, or the dance floor. Investing in fewer, high-impact installations makes a bigger impression than scattering florals everywhere, including on cocktail tables or even bridesmaids’ bouquets.

8. What are some creative ways to repurpose ceremony florals for the reception?

• Sweetheart table: Use aisle arrangements or a ceremony arch at the base of your table for extra wow-factor.
• Fireplace: Have a fireplace at your venue? Deck it out using ceremony florals.
• Reception entrance: Create a stunning first impression by repurposing florals during cocktail hour for the entryway.
• Guest tables: Place aisle pieces at the ends of dinner tables. Floral doesn’t have to be on the table—try grounding them at table ends and letting them grow upward.

9. How can couples best communicate their vision to a florist while staying open to creative ideas?

Imagery! While we won’t copy an exact photo, reviewing inspiration images together helps uncover repeated patterns and preferences. We ask questions, find consistencies, and build on your ideas to create something unique to you.

Pinterest boards are a great place to start—even if you can’t fully articulate why you love certain images. That’s where our expertise comes in: we help you discover what you’re drawn to and then translate that into a cohesive, meaningful design.

Be open to seasonal flowers and trust your floral designer. The more we know about your overall wedding—the vibe, your personalities, even your story—the more magic we can create.
