As a floral designer, I’ve crafted countless weddings for other couples.
But when it came to my own, I realized something—
the hardest wedding to design is the one you care about the most.
I didn’t want my wedding to feel like work.
I wanted it to feel like a world that existed solely for the two of us.
So I chose flowers that could breathe, lines that moved with the wind,
and colors that spoke gently with the landscape.
Peach, blush, muted lavender, and deeper accents came together
in the same rhythm we’ve always shared—warm, steady, and layered with unexpected depth.
By the lake, under the trees, and in the soft afternoon light, nothing felt staged.
Everything looked and felt exactly the way I hoped it would exist in real life.
I wanted to remember his smile, the breeze brushing past the florals,
and the quiet steps that carried us toward each other.
The florals were never the main character—our story was.
And through them, I gave our story a shape we could keep forever.
