The Great Escape Parkside-Long Stem Bouquet
Christina and Rob wed in a new and much different place than we have ever worked before. The Great Escape Parkside is a 15 bedroom home located in Groveland, Florida. The family rented the entire house and made a retreat out of their wedding weekend. The beautiful grassy and natural yard was the perfect place to have a ceremony-one that was all about the classic whites and greens. Christina wanted her bouquet to include those classic colors-with a twist. LONG stems. This new look is a trend that brides-to-be are loving. Even Sadie Robertson had the same look for her wedding! Her ceremony decor included heaps of petals, greenery growing up the arch drape and to top it off… a floral chandelier hanging from the pergola.
This couple dropped a tent in the backyard of this fun house and lit it up from every angle. We were so excited to do elevated pieces and candelabras galore! The pieces Christina chose for her reception space made the space feel giant while glamming it up! We got to repurpose the floral chandelier from the ceremony site to above the sweetheart table to draw the eye to the newlyweds. We love when our couples want to flower their entire space and really dramatize their sweetheart or head table. Rob and Christina had a cake and a dessert table that had every sweet you could ever want. And their place settings were stunning- an acrylic cut out of every guests names sitting waiting for them at their seat. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, the night was finished with a fireworks display for the bride and groom and their guests.
Congratulations to Rob and Christina, your day was beautiful and you were wonderful!
