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!

Raining Fireworks and Roses at Ritz Carlton Ballroom | Real Wedding: Stefanie and Barton

Stefanie and Barton united as one before officiant, Bert Carrier, at the lavish The Ritz-Carlton Ballroom. As both were dedicated to one another , it was only fitting their wedding be decorated in floral arrangements of our striking red roses.

Damon Tucci Photography was there for every kodak moment, capturing both the couple’s custom created red rose “M” floral spotlight piece and every moment included too. Having transformed the Ritz Carlton‘s Salons 5-6, their ceremony scene was lit with whimsical water votive tea light candle aisle pieces accompanied by red rose floral arrangements. A Chair Affair‘s chiavari chairs accented this scene on either side of the ceremony’s aisle design.

 

Stefanie and Barton’s wedding then transferred to their reception scene with Letz Dance On It‘s red rose designed dance floor to accentuate the scene of red silk and light peach linens courtesy of Over the Toplinens. Guests danced and enjoyed their night to the musical stylings of Headliners band.

   

A raining parade of Santore fireworks brought Stefanie and Barton’s wedding to a close and held as a magical ending to their special day. Stefanie and Barton are quickly approaching their two year anniversary and we wish them only the best and happiest life spent in the company of one another!
