A Trending Color Palette With a Pop of Red

Blush and white are staples in the wedding world. Recently, mauve has been added as a more saturated and deeper shade of pink making this trending color palette gain popularity. We used these tones for Katie and Tommy’s wedding at the Bauerhaus but also added a pop of red. Adding another color to this palette […]

A Blush + Burgundy Wedding

While setting up for Kristen and Bradley’s wedding, one of my assistants asked if delivering the bouquets was my favorite part of the day. Truthfully, it’s sometimes. Some times I can sense stress or high emotions in the room and I know that it is best to leave the flowers and quickly leave to let […]

Mauve is back! Those of you who remember the mauve of the ’80s may be asking why but this is mauve in a new way. The warm, rosy tone mixes beautifully with fall colors and gives a more cozy feel from the blush tones we see in spring and fall. We played off the mauve […]

A Pastel Palette at Discovery Lodge

Blush pink, peach, white, and blue. A classic pastel combination. Erin and Josh’s ceremony was at St. Peter and Paul in Haubstadt followed by a reception at the Discovery Lodge at Burdette Park. It was full of flowers, greenery, and candles in the classic palette and metallic accents. There were four different table designs–an elevated […]

Purple + Personality

What are your thoughts on purple? Personally, I love it. I hadn’t worked with it much in the past few years so I was excited to meet Laurel and hear her dreams for a purple and white wedding with silver accents. Beyond the color scheme, this wedding had a lot of personality. This Kentucky couple […]

The New Blush?

Blush has been the on trend color in wedding design for several years. This soft pink can easily be paired with many colors. Last year I felt a shift towards peach instead of blush but now I’m thinking that was just a small detour. Is mauve the new blush? Before you flashback to the 80s […]
