A cake table… but make it maximalist! 💐🎂✨

For this scene from our Palace of Vers-Thai styled shoot with HBIC weddings, we went full floral fantasy. With sculptural ECBG Studio cakes stacked high and Ashland Addison blooms cascading across every inch of the table, this moment captures the heart of our concept: What if Marie Antoinette went to Bangkok?

It’s dramatic, romantic, and just a little rebellious - and we’re so proud of the results!

Gone are the days of stiff, formal florals!

For this wedding at Wildman BT, we created floral compositions using wildflowers, mossy bases, and a free-flowing shape that felt plucked from nature. 🌿 These arrangements brought a playful, fun energy to the day while still feeling elevated and intentional.

If you’re dreaming of wedding flowers that feel alive, unstructured, and full of personality - this style might be your perfect match. 💐

Florals can (and should) be as unique as you are. 💍

For this styled shoot, the bridal bouquet stole the show. We used Lady’s Slipper orchids, a bold and elegant choice that gave the arrangement a sculptural, editorial feel.

This is a perfect example of how non-traditional florals can still feel timeless and beautiful. Don't be afraid to think outside the (bouquet) box for your special day!

This ceremony setup was all about creating a feeling - intimate, romantic, and undeniably luxe. ✨

We used florals to bring softness and structure to the space, complementing the layered drapery by Elevated Events and warm lighting at Orso’s Restaurant. The result was a moody backdrop that made the moment feel personal, unforgettable, and truly cinematic!

Whether you're planning a wedding for 20 or 200, the right ceremony design can transform any venue into something magical. Let's talk about how to create that moment for you!

Long tables have a way of making everyone feel like part of something special... and this one was no exception! ✨

For this styled shoot at Orso’s Restaurant, we created a dramatic tablescape that ran the full length of the space, filled with taper candles and lush florals. The design was inspired by the 2025 Pantone Color of the Year (Mocha) which added warmth and depth to the overall look.

This setup works beautifully for intimate weddings, rehearsal dinners, or corporate celebrations where connection and ambiance matter. Want to explore custom tablescape ideas for your event? Let’s connect! 🤍

Espresso martinis... but make them a scene! 🍸💐

This styled shoot at Orso’s Restaurant featured one of our favorite bar moments to date: a stacked martini tower surrounded by lush blooms in soft mocha tones and wild berry textures. The rich color palette tied in perfectly with this year's Pantone color (Mocha) and added a luxe, modern feel to the cocktail display.

This is such a fun way to personalize your event bar and make it feel photo-worthy from every angle! Interested in customized floral touches like this for your next event? Let’s create something magical. ✨

This sweetheart table setup is proof that small spaces can pack serious style! ✨

Tucked into the coziest corner of Orso’s Restaurant, we built a floral vignette that made the space feel intimate and elevated - perfect for an elopement dinner or intimate reception. The florals were arranged low and lush, with taper candles adding drama and romance.

Small space? Big vision? Let’s bring it to life together!

We’re still swooning over this styled shoot at Orso’s Restaurant, planned by the incredible Alex McCarron Events! Our team was brought in to create all the florals and candles for the day - and what a day it was. 🌹✨

The aesthetic was moody, romantic, and intimate, with luxe florals and rich mocha tones (a nod to Pantone’s color of the year) at the heart of the design. From a dramatic floral ceremony backdrop to a cozy sweetheart table and espresso martini tower, every corner of the space was dripping with personality.

If you're planning a wedding, micro-event, or corporate dinner, let’s chat about how to bring your own vision to life!
