Kelsey + Zack's Chic & Contemporary Wedding at The Overture Center for the Arts, Muted hues with a pop of cafe latte roses

From the moment I met Kelsey and Zack for our consultation, I knew their entire wedding day was going to turn out to be complete magic. They had such great energy and had total trust in the floral design process. It’s SUPER important that our clients trust our experience and knowledge of flowers so that we are able to do what we do best — to make sure their wedding turns out just as they imagined.

The couple wanted a chic and minimalistic design approach with a neutral and muted color palette. We added in a pop of an earthy-colored rose to elevate the designs and provide some extra contrast. Below is a list of the flowers that we used throughout:

• Focal Flowers: Cafe Latte Rose, Ranunculus, Quicksand Rose, Playa Blanca Rose

• Gesture Flowers: Campanula, Lisianthus, Carnation, Snapdragon, Spirea, Stock

• Filler/ Foliage: Blueberry Bush, Gypsophila, Variegated Pittosporum, Leather Leaf, Smilax

A Delightfully Bold + Colorful Summer Wedding at The Ovation Chicago — mustard yellow, Apricot, and coral colored blooms

As a florist, one of the best things to notice is when wedding planners take the time to get to know who we are, our design style, and appreciate the quality + work ethic we put into every wedding. Midwestern Bride has truly been one of these planners, and it is always an absolute pleasure working with this team. We worked together A LOT throughout 2022 in Chicago, Madison, and Milwaukee areas. It was one of the busiest wedding seasons for everyone due to Covid overflow, but each wedding went off without a hitch. The Midwestern gals always get sh*t done, and we love them for it!

Before Midwestern Bride recommends their client to a florist, they always take into consideration the couple’s event needs, budget, and overall style + personality to make sure that they are paired with the perfect match. We really appreciate this because it allows us to already take the guesswork out of whether or not we will be a good fit for the clients they send our way.

The moment Midwestern Bride put us in touch with Shelby and Ever, we knew this was going to turn out to be the most epic day. The keywords were playful, editorial, and bold citrus colors. The chic, industrial style of the venue and the inspiration for this wedding had our name written all over it, so we were thrilled to work with such an incredible vendor team to make it happen.

Shelby and Ever live in New York, so we were not able to meet in person before the wedding day, but we instantly hit it off over the phone. We remotely work with a lot of couples, so we were confident we could help put them at ease and make the flowers a fun and stress-free part of the planning. The couple shared a few of their ideas and colors they liked, and then we took the reins from there to create them one unforgettable party!

Urban Wedding with a Touch of Toffee at The Ivy House

After making the decision to open up 1209 Creative to the Midwestern wedding scene, I am not sure that I could have asked for a better couple and vendor team to work with for this beautiful, and 1209’s first, Milwaukee wedding at The Ivy House. I have been so grateful for those I have worked with in Madison so far, and to be able to work in another group of wonderful people in another cool city made me smile so big!

During my first meeting with the bride, Elizabeth, she stated that they wanted the overall design to be something minimal yet still made a statement. The couple wanted to see a lot of texture with ferns and greenery, along with a pop of toffee within their clean, neutral color palette. And let me just say, the Toffee Rose we opted for stole ALL of our hearts.

Below image: We were thrilled that the couple wanted to have a statement welcome design for their guests to enjoy as soon as they entered the ceremony space. Again, the couple wanted to see a lot of greenery, so to really give this some fullness and variation of shades of green we combined tree fern, flat fern, bay laurel, lemon leaf and plumosa (and we added in a few extra scabiosa pods just for fun)..

Above image: We lined the aisle with the fern designs (a combination of tree fern, flat fern, bay laurel, and lemon leaf), and we repurposed these for the reception table centerpieces. This is such a great way to minimize both waste and cost!

Julie and Donny’s Pink and Modern SPRING Arizona Wedding

Go Pink, Or Go Home!

Couples who want something outside-the-box are some of our favorite people to work with. When Julie expressed her wedding vision as something modern, pink and whimsical that would really wow her and Donny’s guests, well, I was filled with excitement to come up with some cool ideas for them. She didn’t have an exact way to describe what she wanted, which was totally cool with me! Welcoming creative challenges is very much a part of this job, and I respect those who want to take a risk to create a wedding unlike anyone else.

These two live in Canada, but flew out with their friends and family for a special and epic day in Arizona. Thank you, Julie and Donny, for your adventurous spirits! Xo.

Painted baby’s breath, Cappuccino ranunculus (with a pop of red ranunculus), and pink pampas grass made the ceremony space really stand out. The two wanted to embrace the Southwestern elements, so to stay in line with the “modern-pink” theme we painted a few desert plants and succulents and made some cool terrarium centerpieces. The pink sand and druzy quartz tied the whole centerpiece look together. For the transition into night, we found some pink twinkle lights that we weaved throughout the centerpieces.
