It’s no secret that we get to play with color quite a bit over here and I am so grateful! 🥰⁣
⁣
Booked a wedding with this exact color palette for 2020 right after I posted about these tangerine and lime centerpieces last week. Yay!!! Talk about awesome! ⁣
⁣
Anyone else feeling this juicy palette? Would love to see more of this bright, cheerful color and its peachy and rust cousins. ⁣
⁣
Also plays well with blues, corals, and lavenders... Click the link in my bio and select “Book with Botanicamuse” to send an event inquiry and get this party started. 🧡🍊

Maids in waiting. ⁣

This color palette of sand, blush and coral with a touch of white was so much fun to create with a mix of garden style and tropical varieties. ⁣
⁣
I like for the bridesmaids to each be a little different from one another. Some of the bridesmaids had magenta phalaenopsis orchids and some had white mini phalaenopsis stems. I used three different types of foliage to accentuate the tropical jungle feel we were looking to emulate.

Soft, garden tropical bridal gathering.

I drew inspiration from Bri’s waterfall hairstyle and the cascading orchids to create this loose and naturalistic hanging tropical installation. ⁣
⁣
The installation was first envisioned as the ceremony site altar and later served as the sweetheart table backdrop for Bri + Victor. ⁣
⁣
My best advice for designing a wedding or event is to work with your existing space and create opportunities for focal points throughout your space for the WOW factor.

Bar decor is a funky area to design - it is a high-traffic area and there is often little room to make a statement. ⁣
⁣
This tropical bar vignette is one of my favorite bar pieces and coordinates with @hapabri + Victor’s his and hers mojito and mai tai signature cocktails by @socialtapcatering.
⁣
I like to leave little details for guests to enjoy and discover - I want guests to experience my floral and event design throughout the event. I hope the baby pineapple was well received and made someone smile. 🍍⁣
⁣
Now for the real question: mojito or mai tai? Or as @wallflower.design said, one of each! 😘

Loving this cool toned palette of periwinkle, lavender and powder blue with iridescent accents. ⁣
⁣
Binged some Big Little Lies this evening in honor #nationallazyday yesterday. My bride Bri let me run wild! We created a tropical oasis jam-packed with orchids, papayas, and installation work in honor of Bri + Victor. ⁣
⁣
I’ll be catching up on proposals for 2020 toward the beginning of this week. As always, we take on a limited number of events to make sure each client receives exemplary service. If you’d like to work together, I have a couple more dates available this season and am booking out my calendar for next year.⁣

I spent the weekend up in the mountains which reminded me of Katie and Oscar’s wedding two weeks ago. 🌼🌸🌲⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
K + O got engaged while on a summer vacation among the wildflowers at Shaver Lake, CA. A place where the bride summered with her family since childhood. She wanted to evoke this special place to them as a couple in their wedding flowers. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
I created a wildflower, meadow-inspired floral story. I ordered chamomile, mums, eucalyptus, blooming jasmine vine, stock, tweedia, yarrow, roses and garden roses.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Every time I place an order for an event, I leave time and room in my budget to play at the market and allow for spontaneity. I use a cart at my wholesaler to create a visual and see all of the colors, textures, and shapes altogether. ⁣⁣
⁣
This in-person buying experience is a beloved part of my process. ⁣
⁣⁣
I was inspired by the interesting shape and color of the lavender clematis vine (top right) which was used in Katie’s bridal bouquet and as a floating, wildflower-feeling vine that hung above their wedding archway. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I love telling meaningful, purposeful and personal stories through my floral and event design projects. I can’t wait to see the professional shots from @heidiophoto. 🦋🐛🌾
