Bright blooms, big palms & the happiest vibes

There are some weddings where you walk in and immediately think, Oh, this is going to be fun.This Chloe wedding? Top of that list.

Between the banana trees swaying over the ceremony, the string lights twinkling overhead, and the brightest, happiest color palette ever… it felt like stepping into a tropical garden party—New Orleans style.

Ceremony Under the Palms

The Chloe already has that magic mix of historic charm + lush greenery, but add in vibrant aisle flowers and the sweetest couple ever and suddenly the backyard feels transported.

We lined the aisle with punchy clusters of florals—think peachy roses, coral snapdragons, bold marigolds, soft pink orchids, and a sprinkle of whimsical textures. It all played so well with the white bistro chairs and that gorgeous greenery wall.

The couple said their vows under massive banana leaves swaying gently overhead, and honestly? It felt cinematic. Like a destination wedding… minus the airport security line.

Cocktail Hour, But Make It Tropical Chic

Guests stepped into cocktail hour surrounded by petite, colorful bud vases full of the same bright blooms. The light green linens made the florals pop even more—almost like citrus against sunshine.

We kept everything airy and effortless, letting each little arrangement feel like a moment on its own.

Perfect for guests to sip, mingle, and inevitably take a few photos of the flowers (we see you).

The Sweetest Cake Moment

And can we talk about this cake?! A vintage-style white tiered buttercream beauty topped with tiny strawberries—SO charming. We tucked florals all around to give it that “dessert table but make it editorial” energy.

It was one of those setups where everyone stops by to admire before dessert even begins.

Warm Nights & Happy Hearts

As the sun set and the string lights flickered on, the whole space glowed. The palette, the textures, the setting—it all came together to create a wedding that felt relaxed, joyful, intimate, and bursting with personality.

And that’s exactly our kind of celebration.
