Luxurious Winter Wedding at Bella Collina: Lisa and Jay

Sometimes, things don’t go exactly as planned, but there’s always a silver lining! Lisa and Jay’s Luxurious Winter Wedding at Bella Collina was stunning, and it was beautiful to see two such loving souls come together!

With Blush by Brandee Gaar at the helm, every detail of the day was unforgettable, with William Arthur Photography capturing it all for a lifetime!

All eyes were on Lisa, a vision in white as she walked down the aisle. Her bouquet stood out beautifully against her gown, created with blush hydrangea, white peony blooms, blush ranunculus, lissianthus, pink garden roses and, for a bit of contrast, black-eyed panda anemone!

Jay looked very handsome in his suit, a big smile on his face as he watched his bride walk towards him. To match Lisa’s beautiful bouquet, we created Jay and the groomsmens’ boutonnieres with ranunculus blooms and Italian ruscus foliage for a simple but elegant style.

Of course, we didn’t forget about the bridesmaids! The ladies looked lovely in long blush gowns, their bouquets a perfect complement with their soft, romantic tones and textures. Blush pink hydrangea and open champagne roses accented with lissianthus and ranunculus created unforgettable arrangements.

Shortly after the touching ceremony, it was time to celebrate! Unfortunately, a bit of rain drenched the outdoor reception area, but all of the amazing vendors came together to make sure that Lisa and Jay’s Luxurious Winter Wedding at Bella Collina would still be perfect!

Sure enough, the reception was a stunning affair. The tables were adorned with white-washed wooden vessels holding beautiful petite floral arrangements, all designed to match the bridesmaids’ bouquets. Royal blue linens on the tables and stylish black chairs completed the look, creating a totally unique yet timeless tablescape.

The dance floor had been soaked in the rain, but Jay didn’t let that stop him from dancing with his bride! Their first dance might not have gone exactly to plan, but it made for some beautiful memories and gorgeous photos.

As with all things, this Luxurious Winter Wedding at Bella Collina eventually had to end, and everyone gathered to wish our newlyweds well as they left as husband and wife.

Congratulations again, Lisa and Jay! Thank you for choosing us to create your wedding floral designs, and thanks to all the fantastic vendors that came together to keep the day going smoothly:

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!

Casa Feliz: Tyana and Roberto

Perfect weddings begin with perfect couples, and Tyana and Roberto are made for each other, so their wedding at Casa Feliz was bound to be stunning! Of course, having Blush by Brandee Gaar handle the coordination of the big day certainly helped.

The sun shone brightly as the day began. All eyes were on Tyana as she walked down the aisle. With her head held high, she looked absolutely stunning as she carried the bouquet crafted especially for her with white hydrangea blooms, with soft pink peony throughout, and champagne and cream roses accented with soft cream spray roses for a bit of texture.

Roberto stood tall in his beige suit, a sparkle in his eyes as he watched his bride approaching. The couple said their I Do’s in an emotional, sweet ceremony and then, it was time to party!

The outdoor reception area was wonderfully decorated, with notes of cream, gold and soft pink throughout the décor. Lush, short floral arrangements sat regally on the tabletops, complementing the jet-black lanterns.

Soon after indulging in the delicious cake from Le Petit Sweet, it was time for the newlyweds to say goodbye to their loved ones and embark on their new journey together.

Tyana and Roberto, we are so honored to have provided the florals for your wedding, and to have worked with these wonderful vendors:

Hilton Orlando: Donna and George

Who says life can’t be like a fairytale? Donna and George’s love story is just that. The couple first met when George was vacationing in Orlando, visiting friends and family, where he met Donna. The couple talked back and forth via email once George returned to Arizona, and the rest is history!

Donna and George’s wedding at the Hilton Orlando was sweet and beautiful without being over-the top; perfect for this cute couple. An Affair to Remember did an amazing job planning the whole event, as usual. Kristen Weaver Photography was there to capture each and every magical moment, from the couple’s first look on the stairs to everyone’s smiles as Donna walked down the aisle. Even the aisle had been adorned just for her entrance, with pure white petals strewn along the sides.

Donna made a picture-perfect bride as she happily said her I Do’s, carrying a unique bouquet crafted with her favorite color, purple. Her bridal bouquet was lovingly crafted with Picasso mini calla lily blooms, expressed sunflower blossoms, fragrant purple stock and purple lissianthus, with merlot dahlia, cymbidium orchids and seeded eucalyptus for texture.

George beamed, proudly gazing at his bride as they exchanged their vows. After they were pronounced husband and wife, the newlyweds and their guests kicked off the reception. The room glowed with iridescent purples, beautifully pairing with the décor and floral centerpieces atop the tables.

Soundwave Entertainment Systems had everyone dancing long into the evening, creating the perfect end to a perfect day. Congratulations, Donna and George!

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:

Cypress Grove Estate House: Chiara and Danny

Chiara and Danny had an amazing, glamorous wedding at Cypress Grove Estate House. The bride was stunning…she not only had two wedding gowns, but two completely different wedding looks, including a change in hairstyle! WOW!

We were delighted to work with RW Events, LLC to create a romantic evening, with plenty of pink roses and sumptuous hydrangea and orchid arrangements. Please enjoy these beautiful photos by Sublime Studios!

The outdoor ceremony took place overlooking the water, underneath the moss-covered cypress trees. Rather than choose the popular rustic look for their outdoor setting, Chiara and Danny went with all white and soft peachy pink. The gazebo was draped in sheer white drapes with a bunches of white floral used as tie-backs.

Each of the white Chiavari chairs was accented by pink satin fabric on the seat and woven into the back. Along the aisle, we added petite rose bouquets wrapped in white satin. So sweet! Chiara carried a bouquet full of pink roses, and Danny wore a complimentary boutonniere.

At the reception, plenty of sparkling lights and chandeliers were hung underneath the clear tent. We even dangled strands of flowers overhead for an added element of fantasy!

For the guest tables, we alternated tall and low centerpieces of pink and white roses and white hydrangea. Along the taller centerpieces, we arranged classy glass candlesticks, and for the lower ones we also used smaller mercury glass votive holder. Plenty of pink linens and silver decor pieces made the space look special.

The cake fromThe Sugar Suite was outstanding! Five towering tiers, including a silver layer, featured sugar flowers and our fresh floral. The white bridesmaid bouquets were circled around the base of the cake stand. The entire look went perfectly with Chiara’s reception gown, which had a silver bodice.

Congratulations, Chiara and Danny! We were so happy to be a part of your special day.

Bella Collina: Jackie and Brooks

We were honored to be a part of Jackie and Brooks’ gorgeous wedding celebration held at the storybook locale of Bella Collina. With Blush by Brandee Gaar in attendance to make sure every detail was perfect for the couple’s day and Lora Rodgers Photography capturing timeless memories, the newlyweds were stress-free and ready to enjoy their wedding day.

Lauren’s bridal look was classic elegance, so we chose lavender and deep plum floral accents, including white and purple Picasso calla lilies, for her bridal bouquet. Her bridesmaids had complementing white floral bouquets with accents of greenery with matching boutonnieres for the gentlemen. Their flower girl and ring bearer had their very own floral accents with a white rose bouquet for their lovely princess and a white rose boutonniere for their sweet prince.

Their reception was elegantly decorated with rustic touches from our greenery surrounding lanterns to the soft white linens provided by Kirby Rentals. As day turned to night, Jackie and Brooks shared their first dance to Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud,” provided by Soundwave Entertainment. For dessert, Two Sweets Bake Shop had a variety of delicious treats from cupcakes to bread pudding for them to enjoy, along with a small wedding cake with white, pink and purple floral accents for the couple to share from Party Flavors Custom Cakes.

Jackie and Brooks had an unforgettable wedding, one that we are overjoyed to have been a part of. Congratulations! The team of professionals that brought their dream celebration to life are:

Ballroom at Church Street: Danielle and Lee

 

Danielle and Lee had a gorgeous wedding at the Ballroom at Church Street, planned by Nicole of Nicole Squared Events and photographed by Nelson of Brian Pepper Photography. We were so happy to contribute our floral designs for their special day!

We created a lush bridal bouquet packed full of white, cream and soft blush pink roses. As a special touch, Lee likes to include a note for the bride to read when her bouquet is delivered.

The bridesmaids carried coral-colored bouquets, which offset their cobalt blue dresses beautifully! The pinky-orange color is just brilliant. The groomsmen had complimenting boutonnieres.

We love how the stained glass windows of the historic ballroom made the perfect backdrop for the couple’s ceremony and formal photos.

The reception room was awash in warm lighting. The decor was opulent but classic and simple. Our tall centerpieces of white hydrangea and very lightly colored blush pink roses looked lovely when surrounded by candles and gold accents.

We also added blush pink roses to make their white wedding cake look extra special!

Congratulations, Danielle and Lee! We wish you a life full of happiness together.

Reunion Resort: Brenda and Peter

Brenda and Peter chose to visit Central Florida from Newfoundland for their destination wedding. The Reunion Resort was a gorgeous location with its tropical floral and palm trees for their special day with Andi Mans Photography in attendance capturing every picturesque moment.

For this classy destination wedding, we chose white floral arrangements for the ceremonial and reception centerpieces for their simplistic beauty. In terms of the bouquets, peach-toned roses popped against the royal blue and gray attire of the bridal party, coordinating the elegant feel of the celebration with its own twist. For the bridal bouquet, we paired white roses and lilies with white floral accents with the peach roses to give its own unique look to complement Brenda’s natural beauty.

As the ceremony drew to a close, the newly-minted newlyweds and their guests transitioned to the reception. Each of the tables was paired with our white floral centerpieces and royal blue linens, courtesy of BBJ Linen, with white chiavari chairs and decor to match from Orlando Wedding & Party Rentals. There was no shortage of entertainment with Scott Thompson from Thompson Entertainment on site, allowing Brenda and Peter to dance the night away with their loved ones in a luxurious paradise.
