daffodil*parker brought a playful yet chic vibe to the floral design, carefully curating each unique and lively arrangement to highlight specific flowers. They focused on movement and rhythm, selecting bold blooms like chartreuse anthurium, green hanging amaranth, and giant purple allium paired with softer accents like apricot pasta gerberas, Icelandic poppies, and foxtail lilies. Local flowers, including mallow, cosmos, and dahlias, rounded out the stunning floral creations.

The ceremony pieces were masterfully designed to transition seamlessly into accent decor for the cake, bar, lounge, and welcome sign. For the bridal bouquets, daffodil*parker crafted a modern, layered arrangement and a simple, linear bouquet for variety, even incorporating a floral epaulet for a fun, wearable twist. Working in harmony with Velvet Rentals’ bubbly candlesticks and twisty taper candles, the team ensured that the arrangements and candles blended beautifully down the length of the tablescape.
