Client's Request:
The couple sought a romantic yet simple wedding that combined the industrial aesthetic of Glover Park Brewery with delicate floral touches. They requested a wooden arch decorated with purple wedding flowers, including lavender roses, purple bridal bouquets, and purple centerpieces for the reception. They envisioned a warm and intimate atmosphere, with purple and white fall wedding flowers scattered throughout the venue, tying together every detail from the ceremony to the cake display.
Additionally, they wanted personal floral touches for the wedding party. The groom and his father wore boutonnieres featuring purple and lavender flowers, while the mother of the groom wore a corsage that tied in perfectly with the wedding's floral theme.
Florist’s Solution:
Initial Plan:
Flowers by Impressions designed a floral concept centered around fall wedding bouquets and purple wedding bouquets. The wooden arch for the ceremony would be adorned with lavender and purple roses, complemented by low-profile purple wedding centerpieces. For the reception, the cake table would be decorated with additional purple and white bouquet wedding arrangements to tie in with the theme.
Execution:
- Floral Arch and Aisle Arrangements:
The ceremony took place under a wooden arch decorated with cascading purple and lavender roses, white hydrangeas, and lush greenery. To create a garden-like atmosphere, the aisle arrangements were adorned with vertical elements such as Delphinium, Snapdragons, Stock, and Campanula. These blooms added height and structure to the space, providing a stunning visual focus as guests walked down the aisle, while the softer roses and hydrangeas maintained a cohesive theme across the decor. These aisle and arch flowers were distinctly more structural and dramatic than the bouquets and centerpieces.
- Centerpieces:
The long tables featured purple wedding centerpieces arranged with roses, hydrangeas, and greenery, adding an inviting touch to the event. Floating candles in glass votives completed the elegant look, bringing a warm glow to the intimate reception space.
- Boutonnieres and Corsages:
The groom and his father wore purple boutonnieres featuring lavender roses and lisianthus, adding a masculine yet romantic touch to their attire. The mother of the groom’s corsage matched the theme perfectly, complementing her outfit with soft purple tones and delicate blooms.
- Cake Table:
The cake was surrounded by purple lisianthus and lavender roses, seamlessly blending with the rustic wooden table. The floral accents around the cake created a beautiful display, enhancing the overall theme.
- Bridal Bouquet:
The bride carried a stunning purple bridal bouquet featuring a mix of lavender and purple roses, ranunculus, delphinium, snapdragons, and lush greenery. This bouquet perfectly complemented the overall floral scheme, tying the bride’s look into the romantic aesthetic of the day. The purple and white bouquet provided a soft, yet striking element that stood out during the ceremony and in photographs.
Challenges and Adaptations:
- Indoor Setup:
The indoor setting at Glover Park Brewery required a delicate balance of industrial elements with soft, romantic florals. The team carefully placed each arrangement to ensure the flowers enhanced the space without overwhelming the venue’s charm.
- Ceremony Flowers:
The aisle and arch decorations needed to make a statement against the venue’s strong industrial features. The use of taller, structural flowers such as Delphinium and Stock, along with the softer roses, allowed for a dramatic yet cohesive aesthetic.
- Cake Table Installation:
The florals around the cake table needed to complement the venue’s rustic features while maintaining cohesiveness with the overall floral design. The floral arrangement beautifully blended the rustic aesthetic with the couple’s romantic vision.
Memorable Arrangements:
- Floral Arch:
The arch was a breathtaking centerpiece with purple bridal bouquets and fall wedding flowers cascading down. The contrast of the soft flowers with the industrial charm of the brewery made for a stunning backdrop to the ceremony.
- Aisle Arrangements:
The aisle featured vibrant clusters of Delphinium, Snapdragons, Campanula, and Stock, along with the lavender roses and hydrangeas seen elsewhere in the event. These taller, structured flowers created a more dramatic look, distinguishing the ceremony decor from the softer reception arrangements.
- Reception Centerpieces:
The floral arrangements on the tables were low enough for easy conversation but full of rich colors and textures. The mix of roses, hydrangeas, and greenery added a touch of early fall romance, aligning perfectly with the wedding’s theme.
- Boutonnieres and Corsages:
The groom and his father’s boutonnieres and the mother of the groom’s corsage were subtle yet significant details that added personal touches to the wedding party. These small floral arrangements perfectly echoed the purple flowers for the wedding, complementing the larger arrangements while giving the family members a cohesive and elegant look.
- Cake Table Arrangement:
The floral garlands of lavender roses and purple blooms on the cake table added elegance to the rustic space. The arrangement complemented the wooden tables and soft candlelight, tying everything together beautifully.
Guests were also invited to leave their well-wishes for the couple at the guest book table, which was tastefully decorated with a matching floral arrangement. This detail ensured the guest experience began with the same romantic ambiance carried throughout the venue. The surrounding flowers, featuring roses and delicate greenery, added warmth and charm to this important wedding memento.
