Maximalist Winery Wedding at Lachini Vineyards

This stunning editorial at Lachini Vineyards embraced warm tones and bold, maximalist floral designs. We curated lush arrangements featuring roses, butterfly ranunculus, stock, and anthurium in rich shades of pink and orange, complemented by deep burgundy scabiosa, delicate Queen Anne’s lace, and vibrant pops of lime-green hydrangea and amaranth.

The result was a striking balance of modern playfulness and refined luxury—an elevated, artful take on contemporary floral design with an earthy, organic palette.

70s Lounge Inspiration at The Evergreen

For this styled shoot at The Evergreen, we leaned into a rich, moody palette of mixed greens and earthy browns, drawing inspiration from 1970s midcentury modern design. Warm hues of brown, mustard, and burgundy set the tone, while our floral selections brought texture and movement to the arrangements.

Cascading amaranth, sculptural bells of Ireland, delicate ferns, vibrant solidago, muted hydrangea, and glossy magnolia foliage created dynamic shapes, creating a sense of effortless elegance. To deepen the palette and add contrast, we incorporated Toffee and Zen roses, golden craspedia, and burgundy ranunculus & anemones—resulting in a design that felt both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.

Dark & Romantic with a Splash of Boho at Coopers Hall

For this earthy, romantic-meets-boho shoot at Coopers Hall, we embraced deep burgundy and rich brown tones for a moody yet sophisticated aesthetic. Flowy neutral draping added movement to the space, while statement arrangements in burnt orange, burgundy, and warm tan created a striking, autumnal color story.

Our floral designs featured a lush mix of amaranth, roses, dried ferns, hydrangea, anthurium, stock, and anemones, bringing layers of texture and depth. For a unique, organic touch, we incorporated hazelnuts and grapes into the table arrangements, adding an unexpected element of natural beauty.

Unique Textures & Playful Colors

Erin & Char envisioned a floral design that broke away from tradition—one filled with unexpected textures, striking color combinations, and unique botanical elements. Inspired by their vision, we curated a rich, earth-toned palette that felt both modern and organic.

We combined lush blooms like dahlias, zinnias, roses, and cosmos with unconventional foliage and textural accents, including ornamental kale, trailing amaranth, dried grasses, burgundy shiso, smokebush, apples of Peru, and dried ferns. This mix of fresh and dried elements added depth, creating a look that felt both grounded and dynamic.
