Christina & Mike: Classic New York Romance

Christina and Mike Wedding – Bride and Groom Portrait – Brooklyn Botanic Garden – Sophie Kaye Photography

Christina remembers the instant connection she and Mike felt on their first date at an Italian restaurant in New York City in early 2023. “Between the delicious Italian dishes, red wine, and easy conversation, we quickly realized how much we had in common. We even discovered our friendly sports rivalry – Mike is a loyal Jets and Mets fan, while I proudly root for the Giants and Yankees.” By the time dinner ended – only because the restaurant was closing – they were already making plans for their second date.

Katie and Bryan Wedding – Ceremony Arrangement Detail – New York Botanical Garden – Sarah Churchill Photography

More than anything, your wedding colors set the tone for your big day, shaping the atmosphere and ensuring the celebration feels cohesive and reflective of your personal style. It’s no surprise that so many of our clients are embracing earth tone wedding palettes now. Warm, romantic, and effortlessly versatile, these neutral hues create a sense of calm and quiet sophistication.

Inspired by the natural world – think layered greens and rich browns of a forest, or the terracotta and sandy blush tones of the desert – earthy schemes bring depth and dimension to a design. Once primarily associated with a bohemian aesthetic, today’s “earth-toned” florals feel far more refined. Through unexpected details, thoughtful styling, and layered textures, we create pin-worthy bouquets, ceremony installations, and centerpieces that feel modern yet timeless, elevated yet inviting.

What began as visions saved to Pinterest boards, Instagram folders, and iPhone notes blossomed into once-in-a-lifetime celebrations, blending luxury florals, thoughtful design, and intentional styling with deeply personal details to create singular, heartfelt experiences for newlyweds, guests, and vendors alike.

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.

Courtney and Sander: Late Spring Romance at Blue Hill at Stone Barns

When Courtney met Sander in 2021 during a COVID peak in NYC, dating for everyone was anything but casual. This was especially true in their case – Courtney, a doctor, was vaccinated early and taking extra precautions. “We were kicked out of bars at 10 PM due to the curfew and spent more time hanging out and chatting on street corners during those first few weeks,” she recalls. In these conversations, the couple would find themselves agreeing on most any topic that came up, eventually learning that they shared very similar views of the world. “We both had intense feelings early on,” she confides.
