Stylish + Chic Villa Wedding

We were so excited to see one of our favorite couples, Brittany and Derek, featured on 100 Layer Cake a little while back! Click here to see a recap of that feature, along with some insight from Brittany herself. As for this blog, we couldn't wait to share some peeks into the setup, along with our favorite floral highlights. Brittany and Derek's edgy, hipster style translated into awesomely unique floral designs. We used  feather accents, ferns, cascading amaranthus, and lots of browns and greens to tie it all together. Thanks Troy and Aimee Grover for all the spectacular photos. You must see their website here.


Posing with the beautiful bride...it's so hard not to cry. Love these moments :)

Okay, so it's back to work...had to make this day extra special for Brittany and Derek. :)

Rustic + Chic Villa Wedding

The moment we met Holly and Kyle, there was no doubt in our minds that their there wedding would be a blast for everyone. Their fun-loving, outgoing, and ultra-chic style translated into a drool-worthy wedding! We used a lot of natural and organic elements--such as sunflowers, grasses, feathers, shades of brown and forest green, seeds, and pods--to create a laid-back yet sophisticated feel. Every table had a completely different design using vintage bottles and accessories. For the bride's bouquet we used a stunning mix of rich, rustic colors along with an antique chain wrap to create texture. What else did we love? The birch ceremony arch and the zipper bridesmaid dresses!

We burnt the table numbers into pieces of wood to create a rustic vibe.




Peacock feathers were the perfect addition to the decor because of their luxurious and dramatic colors. 

The hanging bottles and pom-poms created a multidimensional ceremony area.
We love the use of "above space" at weddings. :)


Thank you Holly and Kyle for letting us be a part of your wedding. It was truly beautiful, and we were so proud to be spreading floral love...rustic-style.
