Earth-tones and disco balls for this Arrowhead Hill couple

Abby + Thomas | May 2022

As featured in the Spring/Summer 2023 issue of Brides of Houston

What I loved about planning and designing this wedding day alongside the bride, is that we took an earth-tone color palette (which often equates to a more boho-inspired design or a fall wedding vibe) and instead, adapted it to the spring season. We did this by layering various tones and textures, as well as through the garden style floral pieces. I never believe in perfectly matching anything. Like for example: I wouldn’t take a paint swatch and try to color match every element within the design. Instead, we want the colors to “play well” together, which we can do by identifying our more dominant colors within the palette, and then complimenting them with other tones that align with the design but bring variation visually. What this achieves is a more effortlessly curated aesthetic. And then within this design, we added tons of disco balls alongside the joyful floral palette, which really reflected Abby & Thomas’ joyful, sunshine spirits.

One other design detail to mention was our use of floral meadow pieces in various spots throughout the design. For those that may not know what these are, they are floral pieces that are designing in low profile dishes (that you cannot see) and are arrangements that look like they are growing out of the ground (especially since they are typically more whimsical in shape!) Nothing about Abby & Thomas’ floral design was too manicured, so these pieces really kept with the organic and whimsical feel of the day. They also have the ability to extend your floral budget as the pieces are so mobile and can be used in any number of places. For this event, we incorporated them in front of the welcome table, the seating chart display, and around the cake table. Add in the disco balls, and it really took these pieces to another level!
