A Delightfully Bold + Colorful Summer Wedding at The Ovation Chicago — mustard yellow, Apricot, and coral colored blooms
As a florist, one of the best things to notice is when wedding planners take the time to get to know who we are, our design style, and appreciate the quality + work ethic we put into every wedding. Midwestern Bride has truly been one of these planners, and it is always an absolute pleasure working with this team. We worked together A LOT throughout 2022 in Chicago, Madison, and Milwaukee areas. It was one of the busiest wedding seasons for everyone due to Covid overflow, but each wedding went off without a hitch. The Midwestern gals always get sh*t done, and we love them for it!
Before Midwestern Bride recommends their client to a florist, they always take into consideration the couple’s event needs, budget, and overall style + personality to make sure that they are paired with the perfect match. We really appreciate this because it allows us to already take the guesswork out of whether or not we will be a good fit for the clients they send our way.
The moment Midwestern Bride put us in touch with Shelby and Ever, we knew this was going to turn out to be the most epic day. The keywords were playful, editorial, and bold citrus colors. The chic, industrial style of the venue and the inspiration for this wedding had our name written all over it, so we were thrilled to work with such an incredible vendor team to make it happen.
Shelby and Ever live in New York, so we were not able to meet in person before the wedding day, but we instantly hit it off over the phone. We remotely work with a lot of couples, so we were confident we could help put them at ease and make the flowers a fun and stress-free part of the planning. The couple shared a few of their ideas and colors they liked, and then we took the reins from there to create them one unforgettable party!

Romantic Garden Wedding at the Royal Palms Resort
Melissa and Andrew were looking to have a romantic garden-style wedding in Scottsdale, AZ. They chose to get married at the Royal Palms Resort & Spa, which couldn’t have been a better choice since it would be guaranteed they would be surrounded by lush greenery in every direction. When it came to floral and color choices, Melissa simply shared that they really wanted to incorporate mauve tones. We suggested to add a pop of a gold or mustard to really make the arrangements and bouquets pop against all of the greenery.
When it came to her ceremony decor, Melissa didn’t have much of a vision except that she really wanted to see twinkle lights and geo lanterns used. So we constructed a suspended design filled with bay laurel and tree fern, a variety of florals, and of course, twinkle lights and custom-made paper geo lanterns. It definitely added to that romantic, garden vibe that they wanted to see.
I have to say that Melissa and Andrew were such a pleasure to work with and the ideal client to have. When someone has so much trust in a florist, it truly helps us thrive and deliver the best quality designs!
Julie and Donny’s Pink and Modern SPRING Arizona Wedding
Go Pink, Or Go Home!
Couples who want something outside-the-box are some of our favorite people to work with. When Julie expressed her wedding vision as something modern, pink and whimsical that would really wow her and Donny’s guests, well, I was filled with excitement to come up with some cool ideas for them. She didn’t have an exact way to describe what she wanted, which was totally cool with me! Welcoming creative challenges is very much a part of this job, and I respect those who want to take a risk to create a wedding unlike anyone else.
These two live in Canada, but flew out with their friends and family for a special and epic day in Arizona. Thank you, Julie and Donny, for your adventurous spirits! Xo.
Painted baby’s breath, Cappuccino ranunculus (with a pop of red ranunculus), and pink pampas grass made the ceremony space really stand out. The two wanted to embrace the Southwestern elements, so to stay in line with the “modern-pink” theme we painted a few desert plants and succulents and made some cool terrarium centerpieces. The pink sand and druzy quartz tied the whole centerpiece look together. For the transition into night, we found some pink twinkle lights that we weaved throughout the centerpieces.
