Julia & Jackson’s Bright & Fun Tropical Disco Wedding

Our fun couple share a first kiss under our bold, colorful, & tropical hanging floral installation.
 
Originally scheduled for 2020, and then rescheduled, and then rescheduled again (thanks Covid), we were so thrilled to finally get Julia & Jackson to the altar.

And what an altar it was!

We created this suspended tropical installation with #nofloralfoam, as per usual, and incorporated disco balls, dahlias, and a few veeeery special anthuriums from our friends at Haus of Stems.
 
A super fun floral flat lay featuring a collection of colorful paper goods designed by our client & bride Julia Walck.
 
How cute is this flatlay? The paper goods- designed by Julia Walck herself, were incredible, and they were styled to perfection by Mary Costa Photography.
 
The bold & bright tropical bridal bouquet features phalaenopsis, anthurium, and sunny yellow rudbeckia.
 
So, let’s talk about Julia’s super eclectic bouquet. It features a hot pink phalaenopsis orchid, local dahlias, rudbeckia, and sunflowers, AND those ridiculously amazing anthuriums from Haus of Stems, AND tropical accents like ginger, monstera, and birds of paradise.

Color, texture, personality- this bouquet has it all, and then some!
It’s my maximal tropical garden dream bouquet. For real.
 
A colorful clapperboard and a line up of cheery orange boutonnieres were just a few of the colorful details for J&J's disco pop wedding.
 
Tabitha Abercrombie of Winston & Main designed these fun wedding party blooms.  The bouquet features mini monstera, ginger, and rose and the bold boutonniere features a tiny air plant, orange ranunculus, & oncidium orchid.
 
We kept the personals bright & fun, in sunset sherbet shades of yellow, pink, orange, & red. Those tiny air plants in the bouts? Chef’s kiss for the cuteness!

Fun fact: when you incorporate air plants or tiny succulents into your personals, you can keep them post wedding or event.

I think the chamomile on this wrist cuff corsage also understood the cuteness assignment.
 
This hanging tropical floral installation served as the wedding arch and was created without floral foam. It features anthuriums from Haus of Stems, alongside bold blooms, disco balls, and festive carnation and marigold garlands.
 
In the before times, we actually didn’t have any ceremony decor on our order! Site-specific installations are my jam though, so I was thrilled when Julia & Jackson added this hanging floral installation a few months before their wedding.

Even more so, because they let me do my thing when I politely inquired if they would mind if I hung a bunch of disco balls in it. I know, I know…who can say no to a bunch of disco balls?
 
Just married! J&J share a quick kiss as they recess down the wedding aisle.
 
I probably say it in every blog post, but this shot is always one of my favorites! That post-ceremony, superexcitedwehavetostopandkiss moment when the couple is recessing up (down?!) the aisle.

Aren’t they just perfection- the dress, the crown, the makeup, the suit, the tie, the love. Every last detail!
 
Tropical Greenery, Bold Blooms, & Disco Balls create this suspended wedding arch  at Valentine in DTLA.
 
Kinda like it just grew there, huh?
 
The cutest quintessential wedding portrait at Valentine- the bride wears a fab fringe jacket and holds a colorful tropical bouquet and the groom holds giant colorful balloons.
 
THE FRINGE. I bow down to you Rachel Burke.

And now would be a good time to talk about hiring a wedding planner who really gets you.

Holly of Anything But Gray Events always understands the assignment. AND how cute is it that she surprised Julia & Jackson with these perfectly colorful & coordinated fringe balloons on their wedding day?

Get yourself a Holly.

Julia’s boots are everything. And as a boot bride myself…all the heart eyed emojis.

More fabulous paper goods. More colorful blooms. And the custom drink stirrers?
Best day ever indeed!
 
Bold, colorful, & tropical centerpieces featured pink and orange dahlias, a touch of cobalt, and mixed tropical greenery.
 
We mixed these cute and colorful tropical mini arrangements with bud vases of bright blooms, and of course, more disco balls!

Because Mary Costa really is the best.
