Weddings hinge on trust. You trust your bakery to bake a delicious and beautiful cake. You trust your seamstress to tailor your dress or suit perfectly. You trust your planner to keep the day running smoothly and to put out fires. You trust your cousin to act right. You trust your maid of honor to help you lift your dress so you can pee.

For decades, wedding trends have leaned toward pastels, twinkly lights, and brushed-gold accents. But in the era of social media, when everyone is curating their own personal brand, shouldn’t your wedding reflect that personal style?

Scale is the invisible force that transforms a dozen stems into an experience. A single bloom in a colored-glass bud vase conveys intimacy and whimsy, while a hundred roses cascading down a ceremony arch evokes romance and grandeur. The flowers may be the same, but the impact is different.

When I start working with a client, I’m not necessarily looking for someone who always defers to me, who says, “Yes, of course, you’re a genius!”, or even someone who says, “Surprise me.” Really, the green flags have more to do with a ‘go with the flow’ attitude.
