Luxe Emerald and Coral Wedding Styled Shoot

Ballroom Wedding Inspiration | Columbus Courtyard Marriott

Floral design is becoming my jam! In 2019 we decided to add floral design and rental service to our offerings. And like anything I do, I want to learn as much as I can first before jumping right in. And if we’re being honest, I continue to learn and grow throughout the years because I believe in bettering myself in everything I do! That’s why one of my first “must-haves” with becoming a floral designer was to learn from the best. The Behind the Veil Floral Design workshop was amazing! To learn more about my experience at the workshop, read about it in this blog post.

One of the amazing things about this workshop was the styled shoot. We all worked tirelessly to learn how to create beautiful floral bouquets and arrangements. And it was so rewarding to see these designs modeled and captured by the Columbus wedding photographer Comfort Photography. We were able to learn first hand the elements that make a magazine-worthy shoot as well as the details that go into executing and producing quality designs that capture the attention of our clients. 

Atosha shared her design style guide with the Facebook group as soon as she announced the workshop so that we would have an idea of what the styled shoot would produce. It’s so important to make sure that the images we would receive aligns with our own personal design styles. The colors- emerald green, coral, and gold- have been popular wedding colors for many seasons. They pair well with different design styles, but they especially work with when creating a luxurious wedding vibe.

My favorite part of the design was without a doubt the tablescape. I can remember looking at images from celebrity weddings when I first started my business and thinking I can’t wait to be able to create arrangements and centerpieces just like this. As a West Virginia wedding planner and designer, a lot of my clients want a more rustic look and feel to their wedding design. When I first started planning weddings and getting into design, I felt like all of my designs were centered around this vision. As I began to grow my business and learn I have been able to enhance my design skills and now service clients who want to showcase elegance, class, and a hint of luxury into their wedding colors and style. While some of my brides still want a rustic vibe, it’s now more of Southern Elegance or Southern Charm. I’m so thankful that the floral design workshop has allowed me to be able to service my clients better and showcase their vision in a way that is classy, elegant, and romantic. 

When I arrived at the Columbus Marriott ballroom, I couldn’t imagine how we were going to transform the simple boardroom into an elegant wedding design. This workshop opened my eyes to the possibilities of using nontraditional wedding venues to create a luxurious wedding design that is unique and memorable.
