Ethereal Wedding Inspiration Shoot

Every inspired photoshoot has a special place in our hearts, but this modern ethereal inspiration shoot – the brainchild of Kristen Weaver Photography interns Lexie and Rachael – really was special! The interns opted for natural elements and mixed metals, producing the most unique, truly ethereal design.

Of course, the natural woods, stones, and mixed metals throughout the decor had to be offset somehow, and greenery turned  out to be the perfect complement! We included a wonderful selection of assorted greenery throughout the décor, with Italian ruscus, variegated Italian pitt, and with seeded, silver dollar and baby blue eucalyptus throughout.

Our models looked wonderful! Our bride dressed in a flowing Sarah Seven dress from Calvet Couture Bridal, and donned a gold headpiece in her long hair. She carried a specially-crafted greenery bouquet, dressed out in a gold modern metal geometric orb, accented with succulent blooms for some texture.

Meanwhile, our groom looked super stylish in a rich velvet blazer and bowtie, with a seeded eucalyptus, baby blue eucalyptus, and Italian ruscus foliage boutonniere. The soft, elegant contrasted so well with the industrial look of the decor!

Every detail of this modern ethereal inspiration shoot was eye-catching, with each unique design element coming together beautifully. Everything was intentionally mismatched, yet it all fit together perfectly to create the most natural bohemian look. We’re so proud of Lexie and Rachael; Kristen Weaver is fortunate to have such wonderful interns, and we can’t wait for their next photoshoot from this talented team!

Blush and Gold Wedding at the Reunion Resort

Every wedding is special, but Christina and Joseph’s Blush and Gold Wedding at the Reunion Resort was double the fun! This wedding was an absolutely stunning two-day event, expertly planned by Blush by Brandee Gaar, with every special moment and detail brilliantly captured by Bow Tie Photo.

The ceremony at Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Celebration was simple, but memorable.

Christina looked so beautiful as she walked down the aisle, wearing a stunning gown with lace touches, her hair in a sophisticated updo. Of course, her bouquet had to be just as elegant to match! We created her beautiful bouquet with white hydrangea, accented throughout with open pink and white O’Hara garden roses, and cream and champagne roses. Soft touches of Italian ruscus and some seeded eucalyptus greenery for texture completed the arrangement.

For Joseph, we crafted his boutonniere with simplicity and elegance in mind, using a white ranunculus to complement his bride’s beautiful gown. It was just so heartwarming to see Christina and Joseph stand together throughout the ceremony; they made such a beautiful couple!

All eyes were on our couple, but the bridesmaids and groomsmen made quite a style statement as well! The bridesmaids wore the most lovely pale blush gowns, their bouquets created to match with blush ranunculus. The groomsmen donned matching boutonnieres of pink ranunculus.

As beautiful as the ceremony was, the reception at Reunion Resort was truly breathtaking! Shimmery golden linens added a regal look to the tables, perfectly paired with tall glass bell vases. They towered high with lush bouquets of hydrangea blooms, open cream and blush pink roses throughout, with beautiful white orchids spilling out. We even added accents of Italian Ruscus for color and texture. It all came together flawlessly, with everything a perfect fit for Christina and Joseph’s sweet and elegant natures. This Blush and Gold Wedding at Reunion Resort really was unforgettable!

After two days of laughter, happy tears, and memory-making, it was finally time to say goodbye to our newlyweds as they began the next chapter of their journey together. Congratulations again, Christina and Joseph! We wish you all the happiness in the world! Thank you for choosing us to design your wedding floral arrangements, and thanks to the great vendors who made your special day a success:

A Lovely Outdoor Wedding at the Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes: Chelsea and Joshua

The weather in Florida is certainly unpredictable at times, but it was just perfect for Chelsea and Joshua’s outdoor wedding at the Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes! Expert coordination by Blush by Brandee Gaar kept things going smoothly. There wasn’t a moment that was less than perfect, and all of it was captured by the skilled lens of Concept Photography.

The ceremony was breathtaking! Chelsea made a lovely bride as she walked down the aisle, wearing the most brilliant smile and carrying the vibrant bouquet crafted just for her. Joshua, for his part, couldn’t keep the beam off of his face.

They wed below a floral arch crafted with hot pink garden roses, pink roses, and white hydrangeas, orchids, stock and ranunculus, to match the blooms used for Chelsea’s bouquet and the flower girls’ crowns.

Soon after our couple said their I Do’s, it was time to celebrate the start of their new life together! The outdoor reception was just as beautiful as the ceremony had been, with strings of lights lighting up the evening and illuminating the heavenly centerpieces on the tables, the hot pink blooms popping against the creamy white flowers.

It came to an end all too soon, but this couple’s wedding really was one for the books! Congratulations, Chelsea and Joshua! It was a pleasure to design your wedding floral!

An Elegant and Rustic Wedding: Lauren and Cody

The best weddings are those of the best couples, and Lauren and Cody are just the sweetest! Their wedding at Bella Collina was absolutely stunning, and all the credit for making their dream wedding come to life goes to the ever-talented Blush by Brandee Gaar. Every detail was designed to create the ultimate luxurious experience,  with each moment brilliantly captured by Kristen Weaver Photography.

There was a slight chill in the air, but there was more than enough love and excitement to keep everyone warm! Lauren was a picture-perfect bride as she waked down the aisle, with her hair cascading down her shoulders and a big smile on her face.

Her bouquet had been specifically designed to complement her dress, using flowers of the palest shades and varying textures. Café au lait dahlias, champagne roses, mother of pearl roses, and white hydrangeas all found their place in her bouquet.

Foliage garlands curled around pillars for a brilliant pop of green, adding just the right amount of color to the ceremony. But undoubtedly, our favorite part of the ceremony had to be the artist painting it all in real time! It was a unique but gorgeous touch!

Soon after the romantic ceremony, the party began! The reception on the lawn was simple, yet stunning! The décor was a mix of rustic and luxurious, with elements of gold resting on the mahogany tables from A Chair Affair. Our floral centerpieces stood tall on the tables, regal. All of the décor just paired together flawlessly, and just perfect for Lauren and Cody’s sweet and down-to-earth natures.

As with all good things, our couple’s wedding day came to an end, but the memories that were made that day live on. Congratulations, Lauren and Cody! Team James wishes you all the best; it was a pleasure to design your wedding floral!

Cypress Grove Estate House: Julia and Matt

Outdoor weddings have their own unique charm, and Julia and Matt’s wedding at Cypress Grove Estate House was absolutely gorgeous! Planned and Designed by RW Events, the white and blush theme with pops of red and burgundy was definitely a hit!

The weather couldn’t have been more serene on the day of the wedding. Every photo captured by Best Photography came out beautifully, preserving every special moment for an eternity. Julia made a lovely bride, her fair hair twisted into a low updo, her gown simple, but elegant. All eyes were on her as she walked down the aisle, carrying her bouquet.

Her bouquet had been especially crafted with ranunculus floral, white O’Hara garden roses, and champagne roses, accented with dusty miller and seeded eucalyptus. For Matt, we created a matching boutonnière with white ranunculus and seeded eucalyptus.

Of course, we couldn’t forget the bridesmaids and groomsmen! Whereas Julia’s bouquet was made up of neutral whites and blush tones, her bridesmaids’ bouquets were created with vivid burgundy hydrangea, burgundy dahlia and ranunculus blooms, with champagne roses and accents or dusty miller and seeded eucalyptus. The resulting bouquets just popped against the bridesmaids’ blush gowns!

For the groomsmen’s boutonnières, we opted for ranunculus and seeded eucalyptus to match Matt’s own boutonnière, but swapped out the white for burgundy blooms that perfectly matched the bridesmaids’ bouquets.

After a sweet, romantic ceremony, it was time to celebrate the couple’s nuptials! The area had been decked out for the reception, with lots of pops of red and gold throughout the décor. Crimson cloth napkins rested atop shimmering gold chargers from A Chair Affair, complementing the lovingly-crafted centerpieces, created with burgundy and champagne blooms.

The evening was spent laughing, making memories, and indulging in the majestic cake created by The Sugar Suite. But, as with all things, it came to an end, and we said goodbye to Julia and Matt as they embarked on their next adventure together. Congratulations, Julia and Matt!

Blush and Gold at the Country Club of Orlando: Alexandra and Sam

You can never go wrong with a blush and gold wedding, and Alexandra and Sam’s wedding at the Country Club of Orlando is proof of that! Of course, Blush by Brandee Gaar’s brilliant planning must have also had something to do with the whole event turning out flawless!

The blush and gold tones created the perfect romantic vibe, and we had such a great time creating the floral; the pure creamy white blooms we used just contrasted and complemented the warmth of the blush and gold beautifully!

Alexandra looked like a heroine out of a fairytale as she walked down the aisle towards a grinning Sam, with a blush in her cheeks and her dark hair in a half-up, half-down style, so it cascaded down her shoulders and stood out against the white of her dress.

Her bridal bouquet had been lovingly crafted with white hydrangea blooms and white lissianthus floral, with white ranunculus blooms and beautiful white and champagne garden roses, all accented with seeded eucalyptus foliage, Italian ruscus and cascading tangerine vine. The result was a truly lovely and unique bouquet, just perfect for Alexandra!

 

The couple’s faces glowed with joy as they exchanged vows, and the party began almost as soon as the ceremony ended. The ceremony was lovely, to be sure, but the reception turned out to be a party to remember! The room was elegantly and flawlessly decorated, with plenty of hints of gold throughout, and lush floral centerpieces that towered atop the tables!

At the end of the day, there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that this was a wedding that all of us would remember forever, but there truly was nothing more beautiful than seeing the smiles on our newlyweds’ faces and their joy at beginning the next chapter of their lives.

Congratulations, Alexandra and Sam! It was an honor to provide the floral for your special day, and to work with these wonderful vendors:

Bella Collina: Nick and Kristen

If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. It’s the perfect way to describe Kristen and Nick’s wedding at Bella Collina. The planning and design of the classic white wedding were by none other than Alison Watkins of Blush by Brandee Gaar, and she did a marvelous job, as usual.

The ceremony was simple, classic, and elegant. The couple made their vows below a beautifully crafted floral arch, Kristen looking every bit the beautiful, blushing bride. Her bridal bouquet, created with blush and ivory roses, was the perfect complement to Nick’s white rose boutonniere.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests took the party indoors for an awesome reception. Floral centerpieces adorned the tables, greenery lusciously draped across the sweetheart table, but the star of the show – other than the bride and groom, of course – was the cake. Created by Party Flavors Custom Cakes, the majestic five-tier confection stood tall, beautifully offset by the floral arrangements on each side. Classic and delicious!

Congratulations, Kristen and Nick! We hope the rest of your lives together is as beautiful as your wedding day. We’re glad to have been a part of it, but we couldn’t have made it as great as it was without these amazing vendors:

Bella Collina: Domenic and Lisette

Rustic weddings are a joy to behold. The warmth and comfort they evoke is perfect for the start of a couple’s new life together. Domenic and Lisette’s wedding was all that and more. The breathtaking event was brilliantly planned by Blush by Brandee Gaar, while Amalie Orrange Photography expertly captured every beautiful moment.

The outdoor ceremony at Bella Collina was a beautiful sight. The angelic flower crowns donned by the flower girls created a flair of innocence and beauty, while Lisette’s bridal bouquet, featuring lush pink garden roses and white hydrangea, was the perfect complement to her stunning white gown.

After the ceremony, the couple headed indoors for the reception. A lot of thought went into every detail, to really evoke that rustic feel, from the greenery draping the sweetheart table for the couple, to the delicious “naked” cake simply topped with full, lush pink and white blooms.

As they say, all good things must come to an end, but Lisette and Domenic’s stunning sparkler exit was a beautiful beginning to the next chapter of their lives. Congratulations, Domenic and Lisette! We wish you all the best, and we’re thrilled to have helped make your big day memorable, along with these amazing vendors:

Four Seasons Orlando: Janessa and Steve

Every girl dreams of a wedding worthy of a royal, but only a few are lucky enough to have one, like Janessa and Steve’s wedding at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World. The coordination by Abbey Gray of Blush by Brandee Gaar was flawless as usual, and the breathtaking event was photographed by Concept Photography.

The day began with an intimate ceremony, with beautiful, soft draping by Swag Decor and floral arrangements of white and pink along the aisle. Janessa stunned in a long, white princess gown by Solutions Bridal Designer House, perfectly complemented by the pastel bridal bouquet that we’d created with peonies, roses, ranunculus, and garden roses.

The couple wed below a chuppah that had been lovingly adorned with white phalaenopsis, hydrangea, roses, and pink garden roses, adding that perfect fairytale touch to the ceremony.

After the ceremony, Janessa and Steve moved to the reception area, where the pink and silver theme continued. Eye-catching floral centerpieces of varying sizes rested atop the tables, featuring arrangements of phalaenopsis, roses, hydrangea, and pink garden roses.

The embellished card box, otherworldly lighting by Kaleidoscope Event Lighting, and the couple’s shimmery Sweetheart Chairs from Wizard Connection completed the look. However, the star of the show was the six-tier suspended wedding cake, with floral arrangements decorating the top and bottom tiers, creating a cake that was not only a delight for the taste buds, but also for the eyes!

We were honored to work with these vendors to create Janessa and Steve’s dream wedding. Congratulations on the start of your new life together!

Reunion Resort: Lynsey and Craig

In the case of Lynsey and Craig’s Reunion Resort wedding, all that glitters is gold. The couple enlisted expert wedding planner Blush by Brandee Gaar to bring to life the black, gold, and blush inspired wedding.  Bumby Photography masterfully captured all the glamorous details of this stunning event.

The outdoor ceremony started with a soft, romantic palette for the exchanging of vows. Bride Lynsey, carried a lush bouquet of white and blush tone ranunculus, hydrangeas, garden roses, dahlias, and anemones. The brick-paved aisle was lined with delicate rose petals, as bunches of white hydrangeas tied with black satin ribbon dangled from the crisp white resin chairs.

Things got a little more dramatic for the cocktail hour and reception. Chalk Shop designed some seriously enviable custom signs for the swanky affair. We adorned these works of art with floral swag embellishments. Black and gold glamour and luxurious textures was the name of the game for the show-stopping reception. The sweetheart table dazzled in gold sequin linen from Over the Top Rental Linens, as our floral garland paired with the newlyweds personalized chalk art added even more pizzazz!

The guest tables were equally as stunning with floor length black linens, topped with a modern black and white striped table runner. No glitz and glam was spared in the making of these beautiful tablescapes! Pops of gold accented the atmosphere with chiavari chairs, table numbers, candle votives, and gold-beaded chargers. We loved creating varying heights of floral centerpieces to add dimension and visual interest to the space. The arrangements boasted full blooms of white hydrangeas, orchids, and vibrant shades of pink roses. Friends and family were encouraged to indulge their sweet treat cravings with a candy buffet from Sweet Bliss Candy Stations and a classic buttercream cake from Party Flavors Custom Cakes.

We were honored to work with this talented team of vendors to create a stunning and memorable wedding day for Lynsey and Craig. Congratulations, we wish you a lifetime of wedded bliss together!
