Corey & Hendrik: Timeless Elegance, Classic New York

Corey and Hendrik Wedding – Bride and Groom Portrait Bouquet – Private Club – Raegan Buckley

Hendrik first noticed Corey during their sophomore year at the University of Oklahoma, where they were both studying the same major. Even though he made a point of catching her name during attendance call, he didn’t work up the nerve to ask her out until the last semester of senior year. “We started dating just about three months before graduation,” Corey remembers. “Hendrik had plans to move back to Connecticut for his job, and I was moving to Dallas for mine, but we both fell hard, fast and we were determined to make it work.” For the next seven months, they flew back and forth to see each other in New York, until they both landed jobs there and made the city their permanent home.

First and foremost, an unforgettable wedding will always be remembered for the love, sentiment, and intention shared by the couple it’s celebrating. But when it comes to decor, the weddings that have guests talking for years to come are the ones that feel like stepping into another world entirely. Defined by immersive floral experiences, these celebrations transform venues into something guests have never seen before. Think blossom-draped ceilings that turn a room into a floral canopy, “growing garden” arrangements that spill organically across tables and pathways, and unexpected, high-impact installations that stop guests in their tracks the moment they walk in. What makes this decorative approach so compelling is its range – it bends effortlessly to whatever mood a couple envisions, whether that’s whimsical and wild, soft and romantic, or polished and black-tie.

We were especially delighted to see timeless mainstays – white florals and lush greenery, candelabra décor, and classic black-tie aesthetics – reimagined in bold and unexpected ways. Nothing felt cookie-cutter or by the book. It’s never lost on us that we play a role in telling each couple’s love story, creating a floral backdrop for the first chapter of many still to come. Join us as we look back on these breathtaking moments from the Real BB Weddings of 2025.

Color has the power to transform a wedding, infusing florals with personality, emotion, and unforgettable style. Yet, incorporating bold hues doesn’t mean sacrificing elegance or timelessness. With the right balance of palette, placement, and texture, wedding flowers can make a striking statement while still feeling refined and classic. In this guide, we’ll explore thoughtful ways – brought to life in our Real BB Weddings – that embrace color fearlessly, creating floral designs that are both bold and beautifully enduring.

Use a Monochromatic Palette
If a combination of bold shades doesn’t fit your wedding vision, consider choosing one color family and explore its gradient – blush to magenta, pale peach to deep coral, or soft lavender to plum. The result feels cohesive, sophisticated, and romantic.
