A Bold and Colorful Summer Wedding at The Ovation Chicago with Mustard Yellow, Apricot, and Coral Blooms
As a florist, it makes such a difference working with planners who truly take the time to understand our design style, how we work, and the level of care we put into every wedding. Midwestern Bride has always been that kind of partner, and it is genuinely a pleasure working with their team. We collaborated often throughout 2022 across Chicago, Madison, and Milwaukee during one of the busiest wedding seasons we have experienced. Even with the pace and volume of events, everything ran smoothly and thoughtfully. Their team is organized, efficient, and incredibly dependable.
Before recommending a florist, Midwestern Bride carefully considers each couple’s needs, budget, and overall style to make sure it is the right fit. We really appreciate that approach. It allows us to step into each project already aligned with the clients and confident in the direction, which makes the entire process more enjoyable for everyone involved.
From the moment Midwestern Bride connected us with Shelby and Ever, it was clear this wedding was going to be something special. The vision was playful, editorial, and bold, with vibrant citrus tones that immediately caught our attention. Paired with the chic, industrial feel of the venue, the overall direction felt like a natural fit. We were excited to collaborate with such a strong vendor team to bring it all together.
Shelby and Ever are based in New York, so we didn’t meet in person before the wedding day, but we connected right away during our initial calls. We regularly work with couples remotely and focus on making the floral process feel easy and stress free, no matter the distance. They shared a few color preferences and creative ideas, then trusted us to take it from there. The result was an unforgettable celebration that felt bold, personal, and completely their own.

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.
