November 2024 While we love the rush of wedding season, we also look forward to the time of rest that follows. Haley and Brody’s November wedding at The Cannery was a timeless scene to end our 2024 season. Clean and sleek was the design aim with Haley carrying a simple petite bouquet of baby’s breath with crisp white roses tucked …
October 2024 One of the joys of only booking one wedding per weekend at J.Blu Design is getting to know each couple’s personal style to design something truly special to them. I can honestly say, we have never done a wedding quite like Patricia and Matt’s fall wedding at Argyle Lake State Park. Patricia had a unique vision of a …
October 2024 The temperatures are falling again in Central Illinois, bringing back all the colors and textures the new season brings. The epitome of a classic fall wedding, and one of our last years favorites, was Shannon and Brian’s orange and green late October wedding at the gorgeous Epiphany Farms Estate in Downs, Illinois. We designed a large bouquet for …
October 2024 After a long winter, we are so excited to finally have fresh flowers filling the studio regularly once again as we dive into our 2025 wedding season!

August 2024 Another dreary midwest Spring day leads me to reminisce about summer weddings past. Courtney and Will celebrated their special day at Carmon’s in Champaign on a beautiful August day filled with sunshine with an abundance of white flowers to contrast rich emerald greens. We designed Courtney’s bridal bouquet with lush blooms of white lisianthus and playa blanca roses …
July 2024 It’s true as wedding florists, we see an abundance of all-white weddings. Yet, despite the amount we do every year, no two are alike. We design each wedding unique to the individual couples when it comes to style, flower choice, and overall atmosphere they want to portray. Delaney and Parker’s all white wedding was one of pure elegance …
May 2024 This time of year in the Midwest, when you say white, we think cold and snow. Baylee and Dylan’s wedding was far from the frigid season we are currently in but instead their creamy white and neutral wedding paired with sage greens brought warmth and romance to an already beautiful late spring day. Baylee’s large, textural bouquet was …
May 2024 Another beautiful summer day brings us back to the prairie landscape of The Hesed House Venue in Heyworth, Illinois. Madison and Gavin chose a classic, romantic white and fern greenery color palette with neutral native grasses for textural accents to compliment the picturesque scenery. For Madison, we designed a slightly cascading bridal bouquet of all white blooms featuring …
October 2023 Kelli and Mitch chose a classic color scheme of whites with just the faintest touches of blush accented with light colored eucalyptus greenery for their intimate fall wedding. For Kelli, we designed a lush bouquet with some of our favorite blooms of playa blanca roses, majolica sprays, and lisianthus with quicksand roses to provide the blush tint and …
June 2023 Summer al fresco dining, but take it up a notch. When asked to design the tablescape for this rustic, farm-to-table dinner, I knew immediately I wanted to use containers, plants and flowers that had the feeling of being gathered around the farm. Each farmhouse table was lined with different eye-catching creams and greens. A collection of crocks, vintage …
June 2023 Taylor and Nick had a classic summer wedding color palette full of bright whites and touches of blush with deep green accents.

April 2023 Amanda and Chase chose a classic white wedding style with ferns for a little bit of whimsy. Amanda’s bouquet was filled with lush white blooms of playa blanca roses, tulips, ranunculus, freesia, hellebore and lisianthus with ruscus, leatherleaf, and sword fern greenery. Bridesmaids bouquets were smaller versions of the bridal but with a touch of quicksand roses to …
