Gabby and Charlie’s wedding wasn’t just an event—it was an immersive celebration of love, personality, and bold vision. Hosted at the iconic Parker House, a Victorian-era landmark by the sea, their grand cocktail-style wedding challenged every traditional expectation. With no formal dinner, multiple rooms to transform, and a space rich with history and unique flow, it was clear this celebration called for thoughtful, boundary-pushing floral artistry.

From the start, Gabby and Charlie had a vision: they wanted the venue to feel lush with greenery, sophisticated, and untethered to its coastal location. But articulating that vision was easier said than done—until our first call. As they shared their thousand ideas, I listened deeply, asked the right questions, and created a mood board that captured the look they couldn’t quite explain. It was in that moment that trust and excitement blossomed.


Together, we designed a floral plan that transformed every corner of The Parker House. Key rooms featured grand floral installations to wow guests and soften historic spaces. Connecting areas were filled with layered greenery and strategic accents to ensure cohesion, flow, and enchantment at every turn. The result? A timeless, elegant transformation that stopped people in their tracks—literally. Strangers paused to photograph the venue. Guests gasped. Even the venue owner said he had never seen florals like this.

Gabby and Charlie’s wedding proves that magic happens when creativity meets collaboration. It was lush, unexpected, and utterly unforgettable.

HIGHLIGHTS
