Kate came to us with a dream: to soften the formality of her ballroom wedding with florals that felt organic, natural, and alive. She wanted her guests to feel surrounded by beauty—not just looking at it. The challenge? Her venue wouldn’t allow anything to be attached to the walls, ceilings, or even the floors. No rigging. No taping. No anchoring.
But where others may have seen limitations, we saw an opportunity to innovate.
We toured the venue multiple times with Kate and her mom to brainstorm possibilities and ensure everyone felt confident and comfortable. Then, in the weeks leading up to the wedding, we tested mechanics in our studio—fine-tuning a completely freestanding structure that could support the weight and look of lush, vine-forward greenery across a 40-foot dance floor. All during a season when the ideal product was out of crop. No detail was too small, and no challenge too big.
We prepped everything offsite to perfection, ensuring the tight on-site setup window wouldn’t compromise a single element. And when it all came together? It was magic. A glamorous ballroom transformed by natural textures, free-flowing greenery, and intentionally unstructured floral design that perfectly echoed Kate’s original vision.
She wanted organic, she wanted artistry—and she got both. As Kate shared, “It was flawless.”
We wholeheartedly believe that wedding planning should be thrilling, romantic, and fulfilling. Share your vision with us, we will do the heavy lifting for you so that you can relax and enjoy the process every step of the way.
There is no place around like Garden in the Pines! Her style is very unique and she caters to the specific details of every party or event. 10/10 would recommend for any floral needs you may have!
