Margaret and Elijah wanted a wedding that felt joyful, expressive, and unmistakably theirs. Inspired by the bridal party palette, the floral design leaned into unexpected combinations of raspberry sorbet, baby blue, lilac, lemon, and sage, bringing movement and personality into a traditionally stately setting.

Textural, character-rich blooms shaped the arrangements throughout the day: Gladiator alliums, Dutch-grown hydrangeas, bells of Ireland, electric pink phalaenopsis orchids, and cascading amaranthus created depth and contrast, layering softness with structure.

Designed in close collaboration with the couple, the florals reflected their love of bold color and playful details while still honoring the architecture of the space.

From abundant centerpieces to a bouquet rich with peachy pink tones, the celebration walked the line between polished and rebellious. Our concept pushed gently against tradition, transforming the mansion into a place that felt vibey, expressive, and fully aligned with the couples POV.
