When it comes to weddings or special gatherings, the interplay of floral design, invitations, and table settings creates a captivating symphony that resonates with guests.

Belle Fiori, Ltd: Floral Designer

Belle Fiori, Ltd. is where floral artistry meets elegance. Each arrangement tells a story, showcasing flowers in a way that feels both classic and modern. The team at Belle Fiori meticulously curates each design to make a statement. Every stem is selected for its unique beauty, ensuring layers and movement flow seamlessly throughout each piece. Using textures reminiscent of wildlife wallpaper backdrops, they crafted arrangements that evoke warmth and sophistication. Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, their creations elevate any event into an enchanting experience filled with lush beauty.

Emily, the owner of Belle Fiori, noted, “As the florist our job is often to pull together style elements from other vendors to unify a wedding day. A few distinct design details influenced our plan. The graphic design of the backdrop wall next to the DJ booth led to the tropical vibes and the color palette of blue and terra cotta. The unique blue bridal gown and black statement necklace inspired the saturated colors for the bouquets. The juxtaposition of classic, elegant, garden flowers such as Hydrangea and Delphinium against tropical Anthurium brought a one-of-a-kind modern collection to the entire photo shoot.”

Deb, the owner of Paperwhites, shared, “Our design direction for the photo shoot was inspired primarily by the beautiful colors and details found in the wildlife wallpaper backdrop featured by Cori Coffman, our creative director. We explored layers and movement with hand torn and cut paper, beautiful modern fonts, an exotic black envelopes with liners and hand painted elements of gold leaf. The layered menu reflected the design of the invitation with layers and a nod to the wildlife backdrop embellished with gold. A small gold metal butterfly adorned the layered hexagonal place card.”

Windy City Linen: Table Design

Windy City Linen takes pride in crafting statements through their table setups. They understand how layers and movement can transform a simple space into something extraordinary. By incorporating colorful elements, they breathe life into any event while ensuring elegance is never compromised. Every detail matters—from place settings to centerpieces.

Tera and Kristin with Windy City Linen added, “A lot of conversations around this shoot stemmed from Cori’s (Coffman Creative Events) perspective and vision. I think the biggest pieces were playing off of the architectural frame of the room as well as the mixture of woods and metals. A symphony, sort of table! Each color, texture and fabric working together to produce a beautiful abstract tablescape.”

In this room design you can find the linens Federal Blue Granite, Midnight Blue Velvet, Gold Velvet and Charcoal Velvet used.
