Danielle and Winston's Romantic and Dreamy Day

Inspired by the Italian Coast, Danielle and Winston’s wedding style reflected the natural, rich beauty of the private home and landscape. The stunning outdoor affair was embellished with gorgeous florals, a neutral palled using ivory, sand tones, pops of blush, and a halo floral chandelier created a soft and romantic setting.

Events at residential houses are always so unique and give the opportunity for creative designs and decor. In preparation, there are many things to consider for the couple’s vision such as - logistics, the layout, entertainment, rental items including tents, portable restrooms, generators, lighting elements, tables, chairs, seating vignettes, and of course, florals!

With every aspect custom, we work along side vendors closely to ensure that everything goes as planned. At this home in particular, recent rain created soft terrain for a section of the tables. As event industry problem solvers, we were able to adjust the tables and placed blocks under the legs to avoid the tables from becoming uneven. These last minute changes can be critical to carry through a seamless day and execute the vendors hard work accordingly.

Danielle and Winston’s wedding also features the debut of our new custom built floral chandelier - a large circular halo designed with wisteria, greenery, pops of baby breath and orchids. We love creating hanging statement pieces. Hanging florals and greenery add an elevated beauty to the space, and are guaranteed to make a stunning impression!

Danielle carried a cascading bridal bouquet using all florals and no greenery within a neutral pallet, featuring a base of baby breath with pops of phalaenopsis orchids and roses, while her sister and Maid of Honor carried a cascading bouquet entirely of baby breath.

At All Saints Episcopal Church, the ceremony aisle was lined with beautiful garden designed florals that were repurposed for the reception along the dance floor. We always suggest multi-purpose ideas for the florals to ensure you enjoy them throughout the entire day!

Following the ceremony, Danielle and Winston were whisked away in their stylish carriage - a vintage Rolls-Royce.

The magic continued at the Reception at the family’s private home. Cascading baby breath and carefully stylized accents adorned the families home throughout. Baby breath can be used as filler flowers in centerpieces to large, dramatic statement pieces. The flower adds texture to designs while keeping a light, airy look.

Stylish and Sleek: Jesse and James's Modern Farmhouse Wedding

Jesse and James’s effortless and elevated style was translated through their wedding decor by using a gorgeous combination of chic modern design and a classic black and white color palette. The couple’s beautiful love was shown throughout this incredibly stunning celebration made of meaningful family moments, tears of joy, laughter and countless emotions.

The wedding was comprised of custom designs and carefully considered details. Planner and designer Lisa Lyons’s aesthetic and ability to translate her client’s individual style and bring a unique vision that represents the client’s personality to fruition shows her exceptional talent and skill. A focal point of the wedding was the display of our custom built structure created by Art Faulkner. Art’s craftsmanship and understanding of logistics allow him to build Fairbanks Florist’s exclusive custom structures where Lana can showcase her creativity through her remarkable florals and designs. Do Tell Calligraphy staged a beautiful luxe photo back drop that created a big statement and impressed guests. We are so grateful for the creativity and collaboration between all of the talented vendors that resulted in this seamless and extraordinary day.

While wedding trends are always changing, there’s something so classic about a black and white color scheme for a wedding - both timeless and elegant.

The outdoor ceremony at The Mulberry was staged with our custom built structure, adorned with vibrate white florals and greenery to create a back drop defined by contemporary style. The minimalistic design incorporated geometric form by using sleek, clean lines paired with texturized florals.

The farmhouse reception space complimented the black and white accents creating a sophisticated and luxurious feel.

The ceremony structure was repurposed behind the Sweetheart Table for a dramatic statement. Guest tables had various designs incorporating low, slender floral centerpieces, a mixture of small bud vase arrangements, and an abundance of glass candle decor in eclectic styles and heights for the perfect final touch of romance. Every aspect of the tablescape was embellished with captivating elements resulting in a seamless design.

Floral arrangements were made using all white flowers including tulips, ranunculus, anemones with black centers, snapdragons, stock, roses, and hydrangea. The eclectic mix of candles consisted of glass votives, stemmed glass candleholders with water and floating candles, and an assortment of crystal candlesticks with black taper candles placed in hurricane cylinders.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Pittman and your beautiful day celebrating your love with the vow of marriage, uniting families, and supportive friends creating these unforgettable memories.

Kailyn and Jonah's Timeless Romance

Kailyn and Jonah’s wedding day was divine - with every detail a testament of timeless beauty and classic elegance. The white and blush color palette consisted of upscale florals and a hint of wildflower charm. The combination of the floral designs and decor was absolutely breathtaking.

Having to postpone their original date to COVID, they patiently waited for this day, using the time as an opportunity to include many meaningful details sharing their love story.

The ceremony took place at the magnificent St. James Cathedral downtown. Kailyn carried an unstructured bouquet using roses, peonies, ranunculus, and sweet pea. We wrapped Kailyn’s bouquet and her fathers boutonniere with a piece of her grandmother’s dress. This sweet sentiment served as a tribute to her grandmother who passed the weekend of the original wedding date.

Jonah also included special details to honor his family by using a piece of his deceased Father’s shirt in his boutonniere, his sister’s bouquet, and his mother’s corsage.

The elegance continued at the Reception held at Dr. Philips Center for the Performing Arts. The space was decorated with tall stunning florals, an abundance of romantic candle light, and flowers raining from the ceiling.

When the couple entered the picturesque reception - fireworks, and a heart warming moment shared by the bride. The feelings captured of the bride’s happiness and the groom’s admiration for his bride leave us speechless. We are overjoyed and incredibly grateful to play a role in creating these memories.

Kailyn and Jonah basked in the beauty all around them. The wedding was a reflection of their love story - a beautifully captured timeless romance.

Shaila + Sebastian's Multicultural Wedding Weekend

Shaila & Sebastian's multicultural wedding was truly stunning in every way. This two day soiree was full of joy, love and a merging of traditions. This wonderful couple met working in Chicago, although as fate would have it they both grew up in Florida and attended the same college! Their relationship has taken them all across the globe, from Bali to Indonesia, where Sebastian proposed on a mountaintop at sunset. Shaila and Sebastian celebrated their nuptials with a 2-day soiree with a traditional Western wedding on Friday at the Historic Casa Feliz on the Winter Park Golf Course followed by a bright and colorful Hindu party the next night at the Historic Winter Park Farmer’s Market.

The bridesmaids prepped for the day ahead in their suite at the Alfond Inn. Meanwhile, the groomsmen enjoyed a leisurely start to their day, with brunch at The Alfond Inn’s Hamilton’s Kitchen.

A traditional American wedding and reception was held at Casa Feliz. Donned in a stunning white gown and carrying an understated baby’s breath bouquet, Shaila’s look was classic and elegant in every way. The couple enjoyed a “first look” together on Friday at the Alfond Inn. We love the hint of Indian Culture peeking through the celebration with Shaila’s beautifully intricate Henna Tattoos.

Cocktail hour followed the couple’s exchange of vows, nestled beneath the Spanish moss in historic downtown Winter Park.

During the outdoor reception, all eyes were on the hanging floral chandelier with globe candle holders. The classic white and green florals allowed the rustic elements of the venue to shine through. The pairing of all white linens with dark wood chairs created a sophisticated style with old world charm.

The couple spent the evening surrounded by friends and family. They ate, drank, and danced the night away to the live music of the Bay Kings Band.

The next day continued the marriage celebration with traditional indian outfits and rituals!

The second night of celebration was a colorful and lively affair at the Winter Park Farmer’s Market! The bold reds and golds were a stark contrast to the classic white color palette of the previous evening. The night was all about fun and merriment, beginning with a dramatic entrance by the couple, as they danced their way up the stairs to the venue.

Everyone, including the guests were clad in celebratory Indian attire. Traditional music, dancing and food created an absolute delight for the senses. This incredible wedding weekend was a beautiful celebration of unity, family, and culture.

Elizabeth and John’s Elegant and Charming Southern Florida Wedding

Elizabeth and John’s wedding was a romantic affair, full of southern charm and dripping with elegance. Nods to Florida’s citrus industry were present throughout the celebration.

Believe it or not, I was the florist for Elizabeth’s mother and father - Scott and Patty Peelen. They were married years ago in the very same church and country club as their daughter!  It meant the world to me that Patty would choose me to help with her daughter’s wedding flowers! Elizabeth’s sisters - Mary Hillyer and Sarah - along with Patty, were all instrumental in helping plan Elizabeth’s wedding day.

All Saints Episcopsal Church in Winter Park provided a stunning backdrop as the couple exchanged their vows. The dark wood pews, stained glass windows and high ceilings were timeless and elegant. Elizabeth was a radiant bride and her father beamed with pride as he ushered her down the aisle.

Elizabeth’s grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Patterson Jr., donated the pew candelabras to the church which would be used for all three daughter’s weddings. This beautiful gift allowed them to be present in spirit at the wedding.

For the bouquets Elizabeth chose phalaenopsis orchids with Italian ruscus, white playa blanca roses and white spray roses. Her bold choice of white bridesmaid dresses really added a touch of sophistication and a unique vintage flair.

For the Reception we incorporated the vast inventory of Patty’s heirloom family china, and silver candlesticks, trays, champagne buckets and punch bowls.  We adorned the tables with centerpieces created from heirloom crystal stemware, crystal compotes, crystal punch bowls and crystal candle holders.  Let’s not forget the beautiful monogrammed napkins and table runners!  Utilizing family heirloom’s for the table decor set the tone for an exquisite day, full of special family touches and lots of southern charm! 

Three different table centerpieces were alternated on the tables. The high-low combination of floral arrangements created movement and playfulness in the ballroom. The first centerpieces were designed by The Tiny Orchid Company and utilized Patty’s large silver punch bowls and overflowing pots of white phalaenopsis orchid plants.  The second and third style of floral arrangements were created by Fairbanks Florist. For the second style of table centerpiece, we used Patty’s large crystal punch bowls which were filled with low abundant blooms of green and white hydrangea, green hypericum berries, ruscus and Florida oranges. The third table design was created using our stunning 36” tall silver candelabra with four 18” tall white taper candles and abundant white and green hydrangea, green hypericum berries, white classic and spray roses, Florida oranges and Italian ruscus. 

A live band set created a party atmosphere for guests and everyone quickly hit the dance floor! Even the bride herself took the stage.

Elizabeth and John made their exit  through a shower of sparklers surrounded by friends and family. The love birds rode off into the night in a ‘57 Rolls Royce to begin their next adventure together!

Katie + Andrew's Classic Hollywood Union - June 29, 2019

Katie and Andrew’s wedding was an absolute joy to help plan! I adore this couple and the bride’s mother Marie. They were simply dream clients to work with.

Katie readied herself with the help of her mother and bridesmaids.

The bouquets were meticulously crafted with a selection of peonies, garden roses, anemone, ranunculus, spray roses, and olive branch foliage. A classic and glamorous statement piece that popped against the bridesmaid’s navy gowns.

Of course, the grandmothers had to be celebrated with their own white peonies. These beautiful ladies just radiated joy!

This classic Hollywood sign perfectly represents the atmosphere of the wedding. Glamorous, timeless, classic, chic.

St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church was a picture perfect ceremony venue. Bride Katie was beaming as she walked down the aisle.

The table arrangements were a perfect blend of greenery and floral. The ivory linens and vintage mercury glass candleholders created an elegant and timeless setting for guests.

The cake, made by the County Club of Orlando, was adorned with white peonies and roses. It was nearly too beautiful to eat!

Selecting a combination of high and low table centerpieces created dimension in the ballroom. Lana chose the freshest and prettiest flowers for the wedding, we used peonies, garden roses, anemone, ranunculus, spray roses, olive branch foliage, salal, and antique green hydrangea for the reception floral.

Friends and family danced the night away, over the moon to celebrate the beautiful bride and groom!

The couple paid homage to the family members who were wed before them with these beautiful antique framed photos that surrounded the cake with love. Another nod to the Old Hollywood vibe of the entire celebration.

After a wonderful celebration of their love, this Hollywood star and starlet made their exit through a shower of bubbles and then sped off into their new life together!

Lauren + Bobby's Romantic Rooftop Wedding

From the moment I spoke to wedding planner, Traci Marini of Eventfully Yours, I began to envision the luxurious and swoon-worthy floral arrangements that I would be creating to bring Lauren & Bobby’s wedding day vision to life! Their romantic Jewish wedding took place on a picture perfect, crisp fall day. The ceremony was held on the rooftop of the Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center with the reception following in the elegant DeVos ballroom.

Lauren fell in love with the gorgeous phalaenopsis orchids, so we made them the focal point of our floral design.  The white butterfly-like cascading blooms draped flawlessly creating an ethereal feel, and her bridesmaid’s more understated rose & hydrangea bouquets were a perfect complement.

For their romantic rooftop ceremony and reception we paired the phalaenopsis orchids with hydrangeas and quicksand roses in blush and satin. This elegant trio adorned the floral bar across the acrylic ceremony Chuppah. Continuing the bride’s vision inside the reception space, we created this stunning hanging floral chandelier over the dance floor. Both sites were classic & breathtaking.

Following their rooftop ceremony, the beautiful bride stole the spotlight as she glowed beneath the candlelight reflection of the crystal mirrored candle holders. The gorgeous florals completed the vision of Traci, Lauren, and mother-of-the-bride, Happy. 

I always try to make my client's dollar stretch, so we repurposed the floral bar from the Chuppah in the center of the head table following the ceremony.  Re-purposing arrangements in new spaces allows us to breathe fresh life into a floral design and is a great way to get the most out of your budget (plus your guests will be none the wiser!)

I was honored to have been part of seeing the new Mr. and Mrs. Sunner’s wedding day vision come to fruition. The floral arrangements added the perfect touch of timeless elegance and set the backdrop for a picture perfect celebration.

Modern Vogue: Falon and Paul’s Ritz-Carlton Wedding

September 14, 2019

Whilst some couples may choose light and airy romantic design schemes for their weddings, Falon and Paul and their wedding planner, Lisa Stoner of Lisa Stoner Events, came to Lana with a vision of grandeur that was dark and moody with an air of mystique.  

It was a concept Lana was zealous to undertake. And the results?  

Simply divine.

Working closely with Falon and Lisa, Lana was intrigued by the chic, modern club vibe.  The ceremony and reception, held indoors at The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes, were to be transformed into an environment that was rich with a black palette accented with white flowers and lush greenery.

After their brainstorm sessions, Lana went to work designing the floral scheme.  Falon’s bouquet consisted of white long stem, open garden roses hand tied with a silk ribbon while Paul chose a clean look with no boutonniere.

For the ceremony, inside a section of The Ritz-Carlton Ballroom, Lana perched four stunningly ornate floral pieces at the back of the altar while low greenery, candles, and accents of delicate white blooms graced the sides of the aisle.  The glass containers and clear pedestals in front of a luxurious gray wall of fabric gave a sleek look to the formal room.

As guests retreated to the Tuscany Ballroom for the evening’s celebration, they were greeted by a swanky setting that looked like a scene out of a movie.  The ballroom was divided into sections by white light drapes and 3x3 oversized gray planter boxes (constructed by Lana’s husband Art) bursting with floral beneath the lights, creating intimate gathering spaces throughout the room.

Sections for dinner sparkled with candles amongst a variety of modern floral centerpieces of anenomies, tulips, bleached ruscus, smilax, classic spray roses, and elaeagnus branches in creative vases placed on tables drenched in soft black.  

Additional focal points included dark colored bars with gold accents situated near deep emerald couches for conversation as well as the wedding cake near the piano (setting just the right musical mood!).

In addition to the posh floral and lighting, a life-size “Vogue” magazine cover was turned into a photo booth box where the bride, groom, and guests posed throughout the evening for their very own cover photo shoot.  And while this was a fabulous experience for guests, they loved the confetti cannons on the specially designed vinyl dance floor at the end of the night just as much!

Falon and Paul’s wedding, which was lavish and luxurious from top to bottom, was quite a delight for Lana to be a part of.  From unique set-ups to trendy vases to alluring surprises, it was truly a night to remember.
