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!
