WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR FLORAL TRENDS YOU’RE SEEING
FOR WEDDINGS THIS YEAR?
A major trend this year is the timeless combination of soft white and green tones. This classic palette exudes elegance and a natural
charm that couples adore. Seasonal flowers are also highly sought after, as they bring a fresh, unique touch to each wedding. Brides,
in particular, love the idea of gifting flowers to guests, allowing arrangements to double as meaningful keepsakes.
HOW DO YOU PERSONALIZE FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS TO REFLECT A
COUPLE’S UNIQUE LOVE STORY AND WEDDING THEME?
We always start by discussing the couple’s vision, considering the overall style of their event, their venue, and whether they’re
aiming for a modern or classic feel. We also explore their personal preferences in design and color. Based on these discussions, we
create a few design options and then collaborate closely with them, brainstorming together until we arrive at the perfect
arrangement. Sometimes, brides bring special requests to the table—like one who wanted her bouquet to transform into a reception
centerpiece, which we were thrilled to make happen.
CAN YOU WALK US THROUGH YOUR PROCESS FOR CREATING A
STUNNING BRIDAL BOUQUET? WHAT ELEMENTS DO YOU CONSIDER?
Our process begins with the approved design, ensuring the bride’s vision serves as our foundation. We carefully gather and prepare
the selected flowers, starting with focal blooms such as roses, ranunculus, or peonies to shape the bouquet. Next, we incorporate
filler flowers to create depth and texture, followed by accent elements like berries, grasses, or smaller leaves to add intricate details.
Using a mirror, we check the bouquet from all angles, ensuring it looks stunning from every perspective and feels perfect in the
bride’s hands. Greenery is thoughtfully added to enhance the bouquet’s shape, and we finish with a ribbon tailored to the bride’s
preferred color and length.
WHAT TIPS DO YOU HAVE FOR COUPLES ON HOW TO CHOOSE THE
RIGHT FLOWERS BASED ON THEIR WEDDING VENUE AND SEASON?
We typically suggest seasonal flowers—they’re the freshest, most vibrant choice and can add a personal touch. Many clients come in
with specific color preferences, and while the venue’s setting can play a role, the choice of flowers is often centered on the
couple’s tastes rather than the space. However, lighting is crucial to consider. Colors can look dramatically different depending on
the lighting, so an arrangement that appears stunning in a well-lit venue might look quite different in a dimmer environment.
COULD YOU SHARE A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE OR FAVORITE
PROJECT YOU’VE WORKED ON?
One standout project involved creating a bridal bouquet and boutonnieres in rich emerald green with natural brown and white
accents. It was an unusual color palette but beautifully complemented the groom’s dark green and brown suit, especially against the
backdrop of guests dressed in black. Another unforgettable wedding was for a couple named Lore and Luis—their wedding was
truly one-of-a-kind. You can check out photos from their celebration here:
