Event Overview:

Date: June 2024

Location: Vecoma at the Yellow River

Theme: Romantic summer wedding with a surprise gender reveal

Color Scheme: Blush pink, white, and blue

Event Scale: Medium, focusing on florals for the ceremony arch, fireplace, and reception centerpieces with a playful gender reveal integrated into the celebration.

Client's Request:

The couple approached Flowers by Impressions to design the floral elements for their June wedding. They requested a romantic outdoor ceremony with a floral-accented arch, lush bouquets for the bridal party, and elevated centerpieces for the reception. The couple envisioned an elegant and cohesive floral design in blush pink, white, and blue, with a focal display at the venue’s fireplace. They also wanted the florals to support their surprise gender reveal, blending playful blue and pink elements into the decor.

Florist’s Solution:

Initial Plan:

Flowers by Impressions designed the florals to create a romantic, soft atmosphere. The ceremony would be framed by a floral-accented arch, with elegant blush and white bouquets for the bridal party. The reception’s centerpiece arrangements would feature roses, hydrangeas, and greenery on gold stands, complemented by a cascading floral display at the fireplace. Incorporating subtle pink and blue accents into the reception florals, the florist helped integrate the gender reveal seamlessly into the overall decor.

Execution


  • Floral Arch: The outdoor ceremony featured a draped arch with accents of blush pink and white roses, blue hydrangeas, and lush greenery. The soft florals framed the couple beautifully, enhancing the natural elegance of the outdoor setting.
  • Centerpieces: Tall, gold-accented floral arrangements of blush and white roses, hydrangeas, and greenery adorned each reception table. The arrangements were elevated on gold stands to create a luxurious yet open atmosphere, allowing guests to converse easily across the tables.
  • Bridal Bouquet: The bride and her bridesmaids carried soft, romantic bouquets of blush pink and white roses, accented with touches of blue and eucalyptus. These cascading bouquets added texture and complemented the blush tones of the bridesmaid dresses.

Gender Reveal: A fun, memorable moment occurred during the reception when the couple revealed their baby’s gender. The florals subtly reflected the moment, with blush pink and blue accents used throughout the design. Baby sumo wrestlers delighted guests as the gender of the couple’s baby was revealed, all while the pink and blue flowers subtly hinted at the surprise. This playful addition added excitement to the day without overshadowing the romantic theme.

Challenges and Adaptations:

  • Weather Considerations: The summer weather required extra care in keeping the flowers fresh, especially for the outdoor ceremony. The florals were prepped to withstand the heat and maintain their beauty throughout the day.

  • Fireplace Installation: The large floral installation on the fireplace required precise planning to ensure the cascading florals stayed securely in place. The asymmetrical design gave the display a natural, garden-like feel, making it one of the event’s key focal points. The cascading arrangement featured roses, hydrangeas, and greenery, designed to spill over the mantel and create a dramatic focal point. Candles were placed alongside the flowers to add to the romantic ambiance.


  • Seamless Transitions: One challenge was to ensure that the floral décor flowed effortlessly from the ceremony to the reception. The team carefully planned the placement of each arrangement to create visual continuity, while also keeping the design flexible for the surprise gender reveal during the reception.

  • Gender Reveal Floral Accents: The florals were also designed to incorporate the pink and blue color scheme of the gender reveal. Floral accents around the reception added to the excitement and seamlessly blended the reveal into the decor.
