The vows have been exchanged, dinner has been served, and now the wedding band is hitting the first note, signaling that the real party is about to begin. It comes as no surprise really that when asked what the favorite part of their wedding was, many of our clients respond along the lines of “dancing the night away surrounded by the people we love most!” All the stress related to wedding decorum has passed and the dance floor becomes a symbol for everyone to relax, let loose, and have fun. Many couples choose to send the message to their guests that this area is designated for celebration without limits by creating a beautiful and welcoming setting. Additionally, this is a focal point in the reception that allows for creative freedom, playfulness, and surprise – we worked on wedding at Oheka Castle that started with an elegant garden theme and ended with everyone dancing under a covering of balloons and flowers.

Distinctive, dynamic, and versatile come to mind when thinking about the table decor ideas that we are going to highlight.

When it comes to weddings, nothing elevates the ambiance, literally and figuratively, like dramatic ceiling decor. Hanging flowers and fixtures can completely transform a space, turning it into a dreamscape perfect for a once-in-a-lifetime event. Suspended designs can be used to create a focal point over the archway or dance floor, or to cast an immersive atmosphere all around.

Meeting with clients, we get a sense that hanging florals are thought to fall under the categories of ‘whimsical’ and ‘fairy-tale’ in terms of aesthetic. “I want my wedding to look sophisticated and timeless, and we are getting married at a classic venue. How can hanging decor possibly work in a setting like ours?” We’re here to tell you that hanging decor aligns with every type of wedding style from polished elegance to secret garden romance. We’ve dressed the ceilings of historic castle estates and luxury ballrooms as well as chic downtown lofts. Read on for high-impact ceiling decor ideas that will impress guests while creating a spectacular scene for your special day.

A Look Back At The Real BB Weddings Of 2022

by Kate Murphy

Brooke and Scott Wedding – Chuppah – Guastavinos – Olivia Christina Photography

To say that 2022 has been an unprecedented year for weddings would be an understatement. It was predicted that more couples would say “I Do” in 2022 than in any other year since 1984. While exact numbers aren’t in yet, our sense is that we’re close to hitting the mark. As wedding florists, we saw firsthand how getting married in a post-pandemic moment influenced our clients’ decisions. Perhaps it had to do with the slowing down and reflection that happened during 2020-2021, but couples were more willing than ever before to take risks and be creative when it came to flowers and decor, attire, food, and entertainment. Expectations about everything being ‘perfect’ gave way to being fully present during this once-in-a-lifetime event. While many of the weddings we are about to highlight look spectacular on an aesthetic level, upon further inspection, you will see that they are speckled with unique and meaningful details that are a sincere expression of the couple’s love and personality. Please join us as we look back at the Real BB Weddings of 2022.
