Backyard New Year’s Eve Wedding

New Year’s Eve is always special, and there’s no better way to ring in the New Year than with a wedding! Kate and Josh are such a sweet couple, and their New Year’s Eve wedding will tug at our heartstrings for years to come!

Team James had the pleasure of designing the floral for Kate’s sister’s wedding a year ago, and it was an honor to be called back for another Devine wedding! Kate’s parents’ backyard made the ideal venue for such a beautiful day, with Weddings Unique bringing every detail together flawlessly, while Kristen Weaver worked magic with her camera lens, as usual!

The blush and white color scheme was soft in its elegance, allowing us to create the most lovely and romantic arrangements. The entire space had a backyard garden wedding atmosphere in the late afternoon, transitioning to an ethereal atmosphere during the nighttime ceremony with fairy lights gently lighting the night sky.

Kate made a stunning bride as she walked down the aisle, wearing a big smile and a gorgeous Oscar de la Renta gown as she carried her lush bridal bouquet. We lovingly created her bouquet with blush hydrangea, white peonies, and champagne roses throughout, with ranunculus blooms and blush rice floral. Dusty miller and clusters of seeded eucalyptus and Italian ruscus made for an elegant finish.

Kate’s bridesmaids looked stylish and beautiful, dressed in an assortment of beautiful gowns for a Gatsby-inspired touch. Their bouquets were truly striking against their gowns, crafted with blush hydrangea blooms with open cream and champagne roses throughout.

The floral throughout the ceremony was created with Kate’s vision in mind: magnolia foliage woven into stunning garlands accented with baby’s breath. Everything came together for a truly breathtaking ceremony at this New Year’s Eve wedding!

Joshua looked so proud and overjoyed throughout the entire day, and it was little wonder why! They made the most adorable couple, and it was a beautiful sight to see two souls so in love with one another.

Pretty soon, it was time to celebrate the newlyweds at the reception. Every detail was beautiful, with lovely white wooden round tables draped with stunning blush lace, topped with assorted gold mercury vessels holding lush arrangements created to match the bridesmaids’ bouquets.

All too soon, the evening came to an end, and it was time to bid our newlyweds farewell. Congratulations again, Kate and Joshua! Designing the floral for your New Year’s Eve wedding was an honor, and we wish you a long, happy life together!

Winter Park Farmers’ Market: Rochelle and Casey

Rochelle and Casey tied the knot at the gorgeously decorated Central Baptist Church of Sanford while their dream rustic chic wedding reception was held at Winter Park Farmers Market. Their vision was done to perfection with the help of the team from Blush by Brandee Gaar. With Chelsea Patricia Photography capturing all the photographs and Perfect Sky Productions filming the festivities, every unforgettable moment was recorded for them to treasure for years to come.

The color scheme for their special day featured shades of yellow and orange, with tones of navy blue and burlap decorating their rustic wood farm tables provided by A Chair Affair. With this theme in mind, we designed orange and yellow floral accent centerpieces with calla lilies and greenery for their ceremony. Inspired by the ceremony floral, we created complementing bridesmaid bouquets along with an all-white bridal bouquet for Rochelle. Similar orange and yellow floral centerpieces were used for their reception, along with a few tall white floral centerpieces with greenery and branches to add a pop of creativity.

The fun party atmosphere carried from their ceremony to their reception space, the mood further enhanced by the teamwork of Kaleidoscope Event Lighting and Soundwave Entertainment. The happy couple and their guests enjoyed their amazing 5-tiered rustic-inspired log wedding cake with orange and yellow floral accents by Party Flavors Custom Cakes, along with delicious ice cream provided by Ice Cream Social Club. Nothing goes together perfectly like cake and ice cream, well until Rochelle and Casey came along.
