Jewel-Tone Outdoor Wedding: Madellyn & Blaine

July 23, 2019

It wouldn’t come as a surprise to us if Madellyn and Blaine’s wedding could influence the next Met Gala theme because their vegetable-studded affair with a jewel-toned palette is the quirky and elegant affair perfect for the red carpet!

We’ll be the first say that we are over-the-moon that jewel-toned color palettes are back in style for the 2019 wedding season, and we’ve never witnessed a couple to pull off the theme with such sophistication as Madellyn and Blaine!

Their Democrat Hot Springs affair featured pops of locally sourced radishes, carrots, and eggplants hidden throughout the event’s décor including Madellyn’s bouquet and the geode-lined reception tablescapes. What are our favorite elements of the big day? It has to be the overall neoclassic design of French-style chairs lined with soft white linen combined with the juxtaposition of the playful tee-pees that we filled with velvet tufted pillows.

Congratulations to Madellyn and Blaine! Thank you for allowing us to design, plan, and coordination your grand event!

Rustic Countryside Destination Wedding: Lucy & Ben

July 16, 2019

As a couple that is by far one of the sweetest couples we have had the pleasure of working with, we are thrilled to share Lucy and Ben’s destination wedding in the UK at Clock Barn with you on the blog!

Located in the heart of the countryside, the seclusion of Clock Barn grants couples a venue unlike many things offered in the region. The beautiful exposed beams give an air of vintage OLD WORLD – fit for the couple craving a rustic wedding. For Lucy and Ben, they admired the endless options offered by the Clock Barn, and we took full advantage of its natural beauty when it came to the overall design. From the paper flags and table numbers to all of the day’s floral arrangements, we incorporate shades of white, champagne, and citron in countless of the details.

Many thanks to Hana Laurie Photography for allowing us to share these special moments, and congratulations to Lucy and Ben!

Wine Country Almond House Dinner

July 9, 2019

Our hearts are still singing after our delicious staging of Sextant Estate Vineyard’s Almond House photo shoot! Their turn-of-the-century farmhouse overlooks over one hundred acres of the Paso Robles wine country, which is the only setting you need for a paired dinner under the stars.

The open-air backdrop, the playful style of the modernized estate and savory wine invigorated our design. Our team designed a relaxed yet polished garland featuring gorgeous vines and opulent white flowers that were placed on creamy linen. Mingled with a few tea lights and branches from a Paper Birch – it’s obvious why we are enamored over this shoot!

This Flourishing Art team is pretty confident that you will be searching for your place setting as soon as you see these mesmerizing images by Mike Larson Photography!

Barn-Style Birthday Soiree

July 2, 2019

There are birthday celebrations, and then there is Barbara’s birthday celebration! Her soiree was outfitted in rose gold, lace, and mercury glass details that ooze eloquence in a barn venue setting. Did we mention that she gifted each of her sweet guests a box of champagne gummy bears? Oh, yes!

We were able to design the understated, graceful arrangements in the form of sherbet-colored ranunculus, blue sea holly, daring white rose, and silky Dusty Miller. Our entire team cannot tell you enough how much we adore textured colonial blue and lace linens at the dining table paired with the life-like bloom-filled linens that cascaded the seating outside of All Seated in a Barn. Could this be the ultimate #BirthdayGoals? We think so!

Thank you to April & Co. Photography for sharing these ultra-fun photos with us!

Monochromatic Flower-Filled Bridal Shower

June 25, 2019

Call us biased, but we think we created the bridal shower of your dreams! Styled with all white floral arrangements in muted metallic vases – featuring tulips, hydrangeas, roses, and peonies – Nevi’s affair at the Bakersfield Country Club is unlike anything we’ve ever designed. A true labor of love, her flower wall was installed with paper petals of pale dijon, powder blues, greys and crisp white. We even placed a soft silver embellishment in the center of each bloom to act as the stigma, and bring our wall to life. April & Co Photography is the talent behind the lens that is helping us share Nevi’s flower-filled bridal shower with you today!

Cozy, Zin-ful Celebration at Sextant Winery

May 29, 2019

Each year, wine lovers alike come in droves to the Paso Robles wine country to indulge in the award-winning, heritage Zinfandel grape. While wine aficionados come to experience this heritage grape in its many forms, our friends at Sextant Winery wanted to ensure their guests were welcomed with a cozy atmosphere for the weekend’s kick-off party, which is precisely where the Flourishing Art team came in to help!

Drawing inspiration from the modern fireplace located in Sextant Winery’s tasting room, we filled the space with candles contained in mercy glass vessels. We wanted event attendees to feel as if they were in the vineyard while sipping some lovely zin variations, which is why we utilized earthy plants and blooms in the form of succulents, weeping string-of-beads vine, Kermit green button pom, and more. Finding ourselves so smitten with the marriage of this design, we placed the arrangements on bars, coffee tables, near the beloved fireplace and even in terrariums hanging on aged grape vines. Did we mention our infatuation with play-on a photo booth? Using floating bronze frames and books suspended from the ceiling, winery visitors could get their photographs taken using a variety of props!

A big thanks to Sextant Winery for trusting Flourishing Art to help elevate your venue, and to Mike Larson Photography for providing these images.
