Blush, ivory and gold make for a light, yet luxe, color palette, especially for a wedding at such a stunning property as the Bel Air Bay Club. We created a lovely frame to the couple’s gorgeous sofreh with tall centerpieces with composed round arrangements; and larger arrangements at the end of the aisle. In the ballroom, we complimented gleaming mirrored tables and upholstered, gold-trimmed chairs with cascades of roses spilling over long tables. Tall centerpieces in tightly composed arrangements stood on the round tables. And the sweetheart table was over-the-top gorgeous with a lush display of more florals. As always, pillar and votive candles completed the look, adding a romantic glamour to the ballroom. Check out more lovely gorgeousness, below!... Read More

This wedding combined a fresh, spring-like feel with the ornate decadence of the Banker’s Ballroom in Fresno. Gorgeous, long burgundy curtains and gold ceiling molding set an opulent scene in the space. Matching this look with the floral design could appear too heavy, so our team created arrangements of greenery and white flowers that, while no less dramatic than their surroundings, offered an elegant yet airy feel to the room. At the church, we provided gorgeous urn pieces overflowing with ruscus greenery and matching aisle pieces that hung on every other pew. The bride’s bouquet was bursting with fresh, puffy peonies. Back at the ballroom, a massive head table (for the nearly two-dozen bridal party attendants!) was decked out in... Read More

Design is not just about pretty flowers and stunning decor, but about placement of these elements. For Sivart and Adam’s wedding at the Beverly Hills Hotel, a stunning tableau was created by placing the sweetheart table – an elegantly upholstered piece by MTB Rentals – in front of the cake table. Then, we framed this vision with cascades of greenery and white, as well as two pedestals of large urn pieces on either side of the cake. The result is an artful composition with depth and perspective, as well as gorgeous texture thanks to the greenery. Elsewhere throughout their wedding and reception we continued the theme of fresh white flowers with rich vivid greenery, including the church aisle flowers, urns,... Read More

Pink comes in so many shades – blush, fuchsia, mauve, hot pink – and the flower world offers lots of variations of this romantic color. So when Shruti and Alec came to us to design their Calamigos Malibu wedding, we couldn’t wait to use the wide spectrum of pinks available to us. First, the ceremony: We built a clear, modern mandap with acrylic and bordered the top with a mix of pink and ivory flowers. We also swagged a beautiful pink-mauve chiffon fabric along the top and sides of the structure. The ceremonial garlands for bride and groom featured purple-white and soft pink carnations, along with perfect stripes of deep green. At the reception, tall centerpieces displayed a variety of...

We love cherry blossoms – the perfect combination of pretty blooms and the rusticity of tree branches. Carrie and Dan wanted a natural wood and floral chuppah at their La Quinta Resort wedding; we created a structure with a blend of florals, including lots and lots of cherry blossoms. We also cascaded a lovely unfurling of tons of blush and ivory flowers at the base of the branches, too. Plus, a matching arch greeted guests at the beginning of the aisle. Along the crisp white aisle, we placed boxes holding bursts of more ivory and pink flowers. Inside the stunning ballroom, more branches, including curly willow, formed large arrangements on the round tables, dressed with hanging glass votives. Long wood... Read More

For this gorgeous wedding at the Beverly Hilton, we provided a springlike vibe in the middle of autumn. Of course, September in Los Angeles is mild, even hot, some days – so our beautiful florals still had the backdrop of sunshine and clear skies. The focal point for Sara and Kouroush’s celebration was the ceremony chuppah, decorated with tons of greenery and blush, pink, and ivory roses and flowers. Autumn flowers tend to be in rich, deep colors, like red and orange; keeping the color scheme in lighter tones kept the design springy and fresh. We created texture with greenery but didn’t let the greens run too wild, for a classic, not rustic, look. The reception carried over the same... Read More

Unlikely combinations of colors and textures are what we LIVE for here at Butterfly! When Shirin and Arsalan wanted to bring in black to a rustic theme at their Saddlerock Ranch wedding, we were 100% in. We made the black element work by keeping the rest of the color palette simple: White with greenery. Greenery bought in the rustic texture, and white gave the black a clean-cut, pristine counterpoint. We wound ruscus and white flowers around black arches on their ceremony aisle, and kept the greenery at a minimum for their all-white centerpieces in the reception. This monochromatic approach at the reception let the rustic wood of their tables really shine. The black napkins and chairs at the reception tables... Read More

MIssion Bay is a waterway in San Diego, a picturesque area perfect for weddings. Michelle and JR’s wedding ceremony was not only by this beautiful bay, thanks to the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa And Marina – but their reception took place near another body of water: the pool area of a gorgeous private home! We complimented their venues with reflective clear features – like crystals hanging down an acrylic chuppah. We also wove in tons of white to create this light and airy wedding design. The ceremony featured the stunning chuppah, accented with not only lots of clear crystals, but a rich adornment of orchids along the top. Clear chiavari chairs perfectly complemented the acrylic chuppah. The reception featured... Read More

Calamigos Ranch offers a whimsical, pastoral venue for weddings. Jessika and Adrian married among the dreamy trees and hanging lights in the Pavilion ceremony space; then, guests partied among nearby carnival rides and under Calamigos’ elegant tent. Our round ceremony structure, decorated with white roses, served as a dramatic backdrop for the couple. The natural mix of white flowers and greenery continued through the cocktail hour and reception space. We dressed the fireplace mantel with lots of gorgeous flowers, and moved the ceremony backdrop to the reception space to add visual impact to the sweetheart table. See below for photos by Brett Hickman Photo of this naturally pretty wedding. Floral Design: Butterfly Floral and Event Design Planning: Symphony Weddings & Events... Read More

The Beverly Hilton features not only the ballroom where the Golden Globes and other prestigious events take place, but gorgeously neutral ballrooms for special celebrations, too. Aleen and Anthony chose one of these ballrooms for their very own prestigious event – their wedding! Gleaming gold was everywhere, from the glossy dance floor to the cutlery to the chargers. Our all-white floral palette aligned perfectly with the golden luster. We installed hanging roses and orchids above the dance floor, and garlands and cascades of white roses unfurled off of guest and sweetheart tables. Large centerpieces provided a backdrop for the cake, too, giving the room another indulgent focal point. The final touch: tons of flickering candles encased in clear class. Get... Read More
