“Spirited Spring” Wedding Complete With Playful Florals and Unexpected Textures at the Maxwell



[section title=”The Planning”]

[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Citrus Orange, Matte Peach, Lemon Yellow, Bright Pink, Spring Green, and a mix of Heather Purple and Delphinium Blue to accent. This bright palette was supported by neutral shades of white and light blush.[/field]

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Rachel and Keenan have such playful souls and colorful tastes that we knew right away the vision and palette had to represent their vibrant love and personalities! The vibe was “Spirited Spring” and the vision was to reflect their whimsy spirit through bright and playful florals, unexpected textures and patterns, personality driven fashion, topped with modern twists. All we can say is the day certainly looked good on these two![/field]

[section title=”The Details”]

[field title=”Food & Drink”]Rachel’s grandmother had unfortunately passed not too long before the wedding and the family wanted to keep her a part of the party somehow. She loved her gin + tonic’s so we had a special signature cocktail dedicated to “The Donna” consisting of a speciality gin, tonic water, and a twist of lime. She was definitely there in “spirit”![/field]

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]Florals were on the high priority list from the beginning and we intentionally chose a color palette that lent itself to the blooming season and unique floral options. From color blocking florals for more interest in the design to using natural elements such as moss, this floral design was one of our favorites this season! As for decor, there were carefully selected pieces that added either the perfect splash of color or texture to the event’s moments, such as green satin linens that had the florals popping all day and night, oranges at the welcome table for a pop of citrus amongst the green, stone bowl for cards from their own home instead of a card box, and handwritten texts selected from the bride on every piece of signage![/field]

[field title=”Wedding Cake”]Rachel and Keenan decided to replace a traditional cake cutting with an espresso martini tower! The photos say it all but it was one for the books! This just proves that you should stick to what you and your partner love. Rachel and Keenan are not sweet lovers and chose to do something that fit their relationship and loves instead![/field]

[field title=”Special Detail #1″]We worked together to decide on a signature scent that represented their relationship and the vibe of the day. This scent burned throughout the wedding from welcoming guests to ending the night at the bar, and now they get to reminisce every time they light the candle in their home.[/field]

[field title=”Special Detail #2″]Pattern was a highlight for this day and by using certain elements we were able to see it communicated from attire to the bar. The bridesmaids wore a floral dress that represented each color of the palette, holding a bouquet of opposing color to add the unexpected pop of color! The pattern didn’t stop there! The bar had hand-selected wallpaper inserts that were able to bring the palette full circle and add detail to every corner.[/field]

[field title=”Special Detail #3″]Polaroid Party! They had a member from each of their parties responsible for 1 polaroid camera and they did NOT fail! From the morning entrance to the epic dance floor to the ending exit they had so many moments and memories captured without the stress of leaning on their guests to do it all. Highly recommend handing a camera to a “polaroid party” member at your event.
