Malva & Moss Floral Studio Artful floral design for modern gatherings and curated spaces—crafted to be felt, not just seen. At Malva + Moss, flowers are not arranged—they are composed.

Can we make film wedding photography the trend for next year, please?

Those grainy, moody frames—each with its own impossible-to-replicate filter—capture something digital never can. The texture, the warmth, the soul.

Film brings a distinct flair to wedding albums—it makes the florals richer, the palettes deeper, the design details more intentional. It elevates the story instead of just documenting it.

Here’s why I’m swooning over this shot by —pure emotion, timeless composition, and that dreamy cinematic tone that does every design detail justice.

Let’s bring more of this magic back next year.

Let’s talk about mockups—the floral kind.

They can be beautiful, yes. Helpful, sometimes.
But they’re also the trickiest part of wedding planning.

Here’s why:
• Flowers are perishable, seasonal, and wildly unpredictable.
Even the best pre-orders can shift depending on weather, supply, or timing.
• Local flowers? Same issue. Bloom cycles move with climate and season, not calendars.
• What looks perfect two months before your wedding may not exist the week of.
• And that “simple” mockup? It’s the same cost as your wedding design—plus labor and delivery.

My recommendation:
Go digital. Share your rental and color references, and let your florist design a visual mockup instead. It’s efficient, sustainable, and gives you a much clearer picture of scale, tone, and palette.

Most importantly—trust your designer.
A seasoned florist won’t promise exactness.
They’ll promise excellence.

If you’re planning your wedding for 2026–2027, start your floral process with the right mindset: flexible, collaborative, and grounded in trust. That’s where the magic happens.

Grounded arch install for E + B’s ceremony at .

Designed with layers of texture and soft-hued tones—think muted blush, dusty mauve, champagne, and warm ivory. Airy and romantic, yet bushy and atmospheric—perfect for an intimate family gathering under the open vineyard sky.

Set against rolling hills and endless blue, this altar wasn’t meant to shout. Instead, it whispered: a subtle, gentle, and elegant gesture translating the couple’s love story into form.

Diving deeper into the BTS of this reception tablescape.

The floral + fruit hills played in color transitions—from the inky midnight blue of grapes to the muted ochre-yellow of halved plums, punctuated by the starry violet of asters.

Cocktail tomatoes weren’t planned, but I’m glad they made their way in—they tied the palette together, echoing the carmine tones of anthuriums, the soft blush of Senior Hope dahlias, and the grounding low-placed elements.

Artful, lush, dramatic yet playful. A design where color theory, texture, and instinct converged—and the goal was beautifully achieved.

A throwback to E + B’s September wedding at —an atmospheric, intimate gathering surrounded by family and friends.

The ceremony overlooked the rolling winery hills, followed by a cozy reception beneath a canopy of trees, with the soft rustle of leaves in the wind setting the mood. Intimate, soulful, and family-centered from start to finish.

When clients send me inquiries and the first five line items are personals (in bulk!), I know we’re heading toward a higher budget.

Here’s my honest take: personals are where you can save. Not every tradition needs to be followed to the letter. Instead, focus on what will actually make an impact, and let your floral designer guide you.

I always talk through personals with my clients to make sure their budget is spent wisely—so the money goes where it matters most.

Less waste, more beauty. That’s the goal.
