Nora & Dan: A Spring Flower Dream

June 5th, 2023

A beautiful spring bouquet by Winston & Main featuring Claire De Lune Peonies, Poppies, and whimsical accent blooms in shades of lavender, orange, & yellow.
 
We loved flowering Nora & Dan’s intimate Spring wedding which was beautifully captured by Linda Abbot Photography.

This was actually one of our first weddings post-vaccine magic, and it was such a JOY to gather and celebrate again. (And to see people’s smiles without masks!) It truly felt sacred to create these beautiful pieces for Nora and Dan, and to witness their joy and the joy of their community surrounding them!

Also, this bouquet photo! Who is ready for breakfast? 🍳🍳💐
 
A whimsical monochromatic Chuppah installation featuring peonies, poppies, marigold, and carnation garland.
 
For the ceremony, Nora’s dad built their Chuppah, and we decorated it with two whimsical installations.

The hanging installation on the top left is full of peonies, cosmos, marigold, buddleja globosa, and carnation garlands, and the ground installation on the bottom right in shades of lavender showcases beautiful delphinium, allium, peony and local matilija poppies.

Chuppah detail: We love a monochromatic color scheme- using shades and tints of the same color and a variety of textures to make a serious visual statement.
 
A foam-free floral installation on the venue gate serves to welcome guests with bold and colorful peonies, carnations, and whimsical purple allium.
 
We created a site specific installation on their garden gate to make a joyful statement and welcome guests to the celebration.
 
A site specific floral installation by Winston & Main in an existing fountain features locally sourced Cosmos, Poppies, Tulips, and Allium in shades of lavender, orange, & yellow.
 
Fun fact: This fountain was not a part of our original plan BUT I just had to flower it.

Being inspired by and transforming spaces with flowers is one of my favorite parts of designing immersive floral experiences for our clients.

LOVE under the Chuppah. Dreamy yeah?
Sidebar: I love the Jewish wedding tradition that both parents walk the bride (and groom!) down the aisle.
 
Our couple recesses following their ceremony- our bride carries her airy statement bouquet and the whimsically decorated Chuppah is in the background.
 
I say it in every blog post because it’s true…
I LOVE a good recessional shot- the love, the joy, the excitement- it’s all so palpable.
 
Our fun & playful couple enjoy a first dance at their private residence transformed with local spring blooms designed by Winston & Main.
 
We are here for the JOY and transformation of sacred celebrations.
 
Cheery bar flowers featuring everyone's favorite fried-egg peony- the Claire de Lune, as well as local spring blooms in shades of orange, peach, yellow, and lavender.
 
And we’re not mad at bold, textural, and local bar blooms either.
Isn’t that statice just the perfect shade of lavender?
 
A signature Winston & Main centerpiece- it's loose, airy, and organic and features peonies, garden roses, sweet pea, ranunculus and more in a low vessel with very little greenery.
 
Our signature centerpiece is full of fresh blooms, bold color and… not a lot of greenery.
And this one is a forever favorite! It features peonies, garden roses, sweet peas, ranunculus, strawflower, statice, chamomile, and more!

That evening glow up made possible by candlelight and cafe lights.
 
A lush wedding tablescape designed by Winston & Main features multiple arrangements full of local flowers like peonies, garden roses, cosmos, sweet pea and ranunculus, mixed with beautiful pillar candles down the length of the tables.
 
Floral tablescape tip: Long tables require a lot more flowers to look lush and full.

We love to mix centerpiece sizes for a stunning tablescape with high visual impact, which means combining different elements in varying heights and textures.

Here, we alternated different sized centerpieces with candles for a beautiful and detailed design for Nora & Dan’s guests to enjoy (and still see each other over! 😉 )
 
Whimsical wedding centerpieces by Winston & Main, featuring Claire De Lune Peonies, Poppies, Allium, Garden Roses, and Ranunculus paired with pillar candles makes for a romantic, candlelit tablescape.

California poppies really don’t keep for wedding work, but if you can time it juuuuuuust right, they sure are magic. 😍

We love to create experiential and immersive floral environments that help create the vibe and feeling our clients most want to be surrounded by on their wedding day.

Telling a good story and seeing our clients joy is what it’s all about.
 
Our couple share a kiss outside their wedding venue and our bride holds her signature Winston & Main bouquet featuring loose, airy, and organic blooms in shades of orange and lavender.
 
Congrats and Happy Anniversary Nora & Dan!

Moody Jewel Tone Wedding at The Houdini Estate

September 16th, 2019

Our bride's jewel toned bridal bouquet by Los Angeles florist Winston and Main
Jaclyn & Andrew were the absolute dream clients- AND the flowers…
Holy hell!

I’m still in awe and I designed ’em!
Nature is magic.

The lush jewel toned floral copper arch designed by Los Angeles florist Winston and Main.
Let’s talk about this arch. All the flowers. All the colors. All the texture.
AND just a little edge, right?

Important planning tip: Always, always, go for the statement, rather than trying to spread the flowers (and dollars) everywhere.

Originally J&A had opted for a few smaller pieces (aisle markers, smaller pieces around the reception, that sort of thing) BUT this arch was important to Jaclyn, and at our design meeting, we rearranged the proposal a bit to make it a priority.

WORTH IT.

It was such a joy to create this beautiful bouquet for Jaclyn, full of peonies, roses, ranunculus, dahlias, and that gorgeous moody guava greenery.
