Why Choosing a Florist You Love (Even From Afar) is the Best Wedding Decision You’ll Make


Hey there, flower friends! It’s Michaela here, with a coffee in hand and my little Maltipoo, Emmie, at my feet, ready to spill all the details from Laura & Dakota’s breathtaking wedding day at The Chase Park Plaza in St. Louis. This wedding was the perfect example of why you should choose a florist whose style you adore, even if they’re not in your local area.

When Laura and Dakota reached out to me about their vision, I knew we had something special on our hands. They wanted their wedding to feel like a romantic garden oasis with a light and airy vibe, filled with lush florals that would leave a lasting impression. And let me tell you, we delivered!

A GARDEN ON THE GROUND…
For their ceremony, we created a stunning 16-foot aisle of lush florals, leading to a beautiful grounded floor nest that became the focal point. This floor piece wasn’t just an arrangement; it was an experience, drawing the eye down the aisle and anchoring the couple’s love story in nature.

CRYSTAL MAGIC…
The reception was nothing short of a floral wonderland. One of my favorite elements was the crystal candelabra centerpiece. We adorned it with a delicate floral wreath that added a soft, romantic glow to the room. It was a perfect mix of elegance and whimsy.

A CAKE TABLE MEADOW…
The pièce de résistance? The cake table. We turned this simple table into a meadow bursting with flowers. It was like the cake was nestled in its own little garden, surrounded by a sea of blooms that made for unforgettable photos.

To put a bow on it…

What I loved most about this wedding was the opportunity to showcase that destination wedding florals aren’t just about choosing someone local—they’re about choosing someone whose style speaks to you. And that’s exactly what Laura & Dakota did.

So, if you’re dreaming of a wedding filled with personalized floral magic, don’t limit yourself to just local florists. Choose the one who understands your vision and can bring it to life, wherever that may be.
