An Artful Celebration of Love
Romance is an artform in itself, and many artists throughout the years have drawn inspiration from the theme of love. In Mid-July, team Stoneblossom created romantic, sculptural florals at the Gardiner House, using the wedding of S+W as our muse. The design plan was meticulously & artfully curated with the couple and Stasia Anthony of Exquisite Events. It was important to the couple to incorporate red roses, and a sculptural, gestural design approach, as it reflects the art the groom makes as a sculptor. The designs were composed of unique blooms in a color palette of reds, burgundy, and hot pink creating a bold and impactful impression on guests.
The couple said their vows in style, in front of an asymmetrical, deconstructed arbor. This floral installation was the perfect frame for S+W as they shared their first kiss as man and wife. The arbor was designed with layers of romantic red blooms such as roses, anthurium, and hanging amaranthus with pops of hot pink flowers. As the couple retreated down the aisle, they were showered with velvety rose petals to celebrate their newfound marriage and their love for one another. After celebrating with their loved ones at cocktail hour, the party moved up to the main ballroom for the reception.
The design in the reception space made guests' hearts skip a beat as they entered the ballroom. Everyone’s eyes were drawn to the stunning floral installation above the head table, which appeared to be floating above the table itself. This installation was designed with love, and an artful eye, using stunning red blooms to create dramatic height, and spilling amaranthus to create an artful drip. The tables were skillfully styled with petite arrangements tucked throughout twinking taper candles, and smoked glass votives. Using the Japanese art of Ikebana, we celebrated and highlighted each bloom as the work of art it is, utilizing fun organic lines of movement and negative space to achieve this look.
As artists who work with florals frequently, it was our joy to highlight the natural beauty of the flowers through this intentional, artful design plan. To be able to celebrate the love story of the couple through our arrangements is one of the best parts of our job, and we are always happy to work on an ultra-personalized vision for our clients. This bold, beautiful wedding is sure to be remembered fondly for years to come, by both S+W and their guests!
