If you find yourself reworking your wedding vision due to COVID-19, I’m here to say that regardless of your Plan B or C, you can *still* accomplish a killer sense of style for your reinvented wedding day. In this post I share ideas for how to do this — from setting the tone early on, to experiential floral designs, to a memorable tablescape for you and your guests. Plus, a link to the full feature in Martha Stewart Weddings for more inspiration and planning tips.

I recently had the privilege of collaborating with a talented group of vendors on a fall-inspired shoot. And I’m REALLY excited to share that it’s been featured on Green Wedding Shoes! In addition to the photos so beautifully captured by Sarah Eichstedt, I figured I’d share a bit below about what went into the floral design for this shoot.

Steph wanted to incorporate modern minimalism into the flowery elements found throughout the Conservatory of Flowers to create a sophisticated dinner party setting for her guests.

Rob and Jason stepped away from their hectic lives in St. Petersburg, Florida to travel to Napa Valley for their most important vacation yet. This time, they were back at their favorite destination to celebrate their love. That, and a weekend of obligatory wine tasting with their dearest family and friends. 

For Lauren & Andres’ wedding at 25 Lusk, we drew inspiration from Japanese ikebana, minimalism, and bold architecture. Lauren’s hope was to use floral design to create impactful moments for her wedding guests. We focused her budget on one big ‘wow’ factor: a suspended installation piece for their ceremony. 

Paul and Chen married at San Francisco’s City Hall on a sunny Spring morning. From there, they headed to lunch to celebrate with 20 of their closest friends. What a way to start a weekend.

Meagan and Kyle got married on the Mayer’s Balcony of San Francisco’s City Hall, quietly, with family by their sides. Then they threw a big ole party at Foreign Cinema to celebrate. The day was a true reflection of the bride and groom: relaxed, contemporary, and fun.
