Like a Dutch masterpiece, Brooke + John’s wedding was the epitome of a still-life painting come to life. We loved every detail of this gorgeous love celebration at Battello in Jersey City, NJ!
At the start of our planning, Brooke shared her vision of ethereal, wispy arrangements in a moody late Summer palette of cream, mauve, burgundy and mustard. She loved the contrast between textural foliage and lacy florals. We designed bespoke pieces for their reception decor that paired burning bush, olive leaf and grevillea with queen annes lace, hydrangea and zinnia. To make sure her personal flowers stood out against all of the other rich hues of the venue, we designed petite bouquets with small white blooms such as ranunculus, lisianthus and agrostemma.
Our absolute favorite detail of their custom wedding floral designs was the addition of styled fresh fruit and vegetables! We curated cuts of honeydew, fresh figs and black grapes next to photographs of past family weddings on the welcome table, the statement arrangement on the bar and at each guest table against the central vase arrangement. Each photograph of their wedding looks like it belongs on the walls of a museum!
