Timeless Elegance: Chic Minimalist White Wedding Flowers at Madison's Blackhawk Country Club

Let’s talk about a vibe we’re all loving right now: chic minimalism + monochromatic white blooms. Whether you're planning your dream wedding, hosting a dinner party, or curating an intimate brunch, white florals set the perfect tone for a minimalistic and sophisticated atmosphere. 

For Bridget and Andrew’s micro-wedding, we sourced locally grown dahlias and paired them with dainty white ranunculus and Playa Blanca roses. We designed the centerpieces in matte white ceramic vessels, and then add in some height using tall, wispy stems of Queen Anne’s Lace.

We also provided simple taper candle decor and pleated glass holders for tea lights, which went nicely with the crisp white linens, silver flatware, and white dinnerware. The gentle glow of the candlelight made the space feel undeniably romantic. The beauty of a minimalistic style is that that is keeps the overall aesthetic feeling fresh and modern.

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

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!

Romantic Garden Wedding at the Royal Palms Resort

Melissa and Andrew were looking to have a romantic garden-style wedding in Scottsdale, AZ. They chose to get married at the Royal Palms Resort & Spa, which couldn’t have been a better choice since it would be guaranteed they would be surrounded by lush greenery in every direction. When it came to floral and color choices, Melissa simply shared that they really wanted to incorporate mauve tones. We suggested to add a pop of a gold or mustard to really make the arrangements and bouquets pop against all of the greenery.

When it came to her ceremony decor, Melissa didn’t have much of a vision except that she really wanted to see twinkle lights and geo lanterns used. So we constructed a suspended design filled with bay laurel and tree fern, a variety of florals, and of course, twinkle lights and custom-made paper geo lanterns. It definitely added to that romantic, garden vibe that they wanted to see.

I have to say that Melissa and Andrew were such a pleasure to work with and the ideal client to have. When someone has so much trust in a florist, it truly helps us thrive and deliver the best quality designs!

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.
