Maria is a previous intern and forever family member of the All Buttoned Up team! So when she reached out to us to find her a dream wedding venue and bring her vision to life, we said heck yeah! Her style was totally unique as some of her key words were artful, fun and funky, modern, refined, colorful and textured. We had just 8 months to bring it all together so we had our work cut out for us. We gathered some amazing vendors to bring the dream to life and one of the most pivotal was Hayley from Hyssop Floral. She has a way of being intentional with the blooms that she chooses and we knew it was going to give us the textured and colorful pop we needed to compliment the organic base.
For the ceremony we used moss velvet ribbon and fabric signage for movement and then almost like art, placed 6 pieces on pedestals at the front of the ceremony to frame our beautiful couple and their plentiful bridal party. These pieces were repurposed inside for the base of the statement seating chart and later placed back on the pillars we carried inside to make a photo backdrop. Being thoughtful with how high impact floral is used, is key.
The bride is a proud Bulgarian and her culture was brought in and honored in several areas as seen withe the honey bread and spice, representing some sweet and spicey elements to marriage. My girl Maria broke the bread with the larger piece so she definitely is in charge ;) For the reception space the fabric signage continued as did the funky patterns of the programs, menu cards and other paper goods. The layered head table was the true centerpiece of the room with a garden of floral and candles running down the center. Broken stone accented the tablescape along with rich fruit and stunning candles and floral. A masterpiece.
We outdid ourselves with this wedding and I couldnt be prouder of how it all came together. A beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple, inside and out.
