Sophisticated and Poetic

Kate & Joseph’s beautiful July wedding was simply sophisticated & poetic, possessing a classic elegance reminiscent of movie stars and Gatsby. Our goal was to create a clean & modern, yet traditional, feel with simple, elegant blooms in white with touches of champagne. Some of Kate’s favorite flowers are white garden roses and ranunculus, so her bouquet was filled with fragrant roses, garden roses, ranunculus, freesia & stock. You can’t go wrong with a classic white & blush color palette on your wedding day.

It was a gorgeous 80-degree day in Chicago and the chic, urban flair of Loft Lucia in Chicago’s West Loop was the perfect spot for their romantic, open-air reception. One of our favorite additions was the display of wandering greenery & garden roses at the large opening to the outdoor patio. Oh – and how about the glass compotes filled to the brim with hydrangea, lisianthus, Quicksand roses, spirea, and fragrant stock.

Sophisticated & Poetic, indeed!
