Maddie and Nathan chose a beautiful color palette of soft corals, peaches, and whites for their summer wedding at Pear Tree Estate in Champaign, Illinois. For Maddie and her bridesmaids, we chose to combine playa blanca roses, peach shimmer roses, and blush peonies as a base for their bouquets and added touches of delicate pink lisianthus, ranunculus, and stock with draping ruscus and eucalyptus greenery for a soft and romantic design. Groomsmen adorned classic white ranunculus boutonnieres to pop off navy suits and complimented the bridesmaids light blue dresses. Nathan stood above the rest in a darker suit with a custom white floral pocket square to match his bride.
We highlighted Pear Tree Estate’s indoor ceremony space with three large arrangements atop tall silver stands placed asymmetrically at the altar. These greenery packed, peach and pink pieces pulled double duty as reception table centerpieces to accentuate the venue’s tall ceilings later in the evening. A large seating chart greeted guests in the foyer paired with a singular, offset floral pillar statement piece to lead the way into the reception space.
Silver compote bowl arrangements were used as another variety in the reception table centerpieces filled with lush pink peonies, peach spray roses, shimmer roses, stock and light pink ranunculus with a touch of deeper pink carnations for added depth. Colorful taper candles on silver holders topped round tables as an alternative centerpiece with a bed of greenery at the base that complimented the florals around the room. The highlight of the reception however, was the floral piece and greenery that draped along the front edge of the wedding party table with a wooden beam hanging above topped with glowing pillar candles and draping greens.
The Gerowitz wedding was a fun, colorful, and romantic evening to remember. We enjoyed being able to create one of a kind pieces for Maddie and Nathan on their special day. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs.!
“We simply can’t thank Julie enough for everything she did to make our wedding so beautiful!! Her creativity, attention to detail, and service was absolutely amazing! I really appreciated how she was able to help make my vision come to life and provide guidance when I needed ideas for how to make the best use of our budget. She was also so patient and flexible with any changes that needed to be made throughout the design process. We were thrilled with how everything turned out on our wedding day! We got so many compliments on the spectacular flowers and colorful candles! We also appreciated not having to worry about clean up at the end of the night. I would recommend Julie and her team in a heartbeat to anyone planning a wedding in central IL! She made our happy day even happier!”
