From the Floral Designer: I was inspired by west coast vibes and trends. I love seeing all the bold colors, unique floral installations and more modern shapes that feel innovative. I knew I wanted to do something that I wasn’t seeing in my area. I was fortunate that my dear friend and talented photographer, Morgan, also had this desire. She captured outdoor full sun images with classic west coast style. Everything from the beautiful, sleek dress to the champagne tower bubbling over with blooms and the gorgeous venue with stone arches and lush gardens leaned into the desired aesthetic. The end result was wonderful!

My hope is that brides/grooms will be inspired to think outside the box a bit and not be afraid to do something different, trusting their floral designer to assist them in taking some creative leaps and that it’s okay to love classic designs or opt for what’s traditional. But, if any part of you desires to do something different or opt for a more vibrant or unique color palette, go for it! This is your day and ultimately it is an expression of your unique style and aesthetic. Don’t be afraid to make it as one of a kind as you are!
