Wedding Floral Design Proposal for Sophie & Liam
A personalized floral design concept that celebrates Sophie and Liam's love for nature, sustainability, and California wine culture. This proposal weaves together sunset warmth and organic textures to create a romantic, authentic atmosphere that reflects their shared values and tells their unique love story.
Style Concept Overview
Inspired by Sophie and Liam's love for nature, sustainability, and California wine culture, the floral design harmonizes sunset warmth and organic textures. The palette blends sunset coral and olive green with neutrals like cream and sand, evoking a relaxed, romantic atmosphere.
Key motifs include sunflowers (joy), lavender (serenity), and eucalyptus (resilience), reflecting their shared values of authenticity and eco-consciousness.
Color Palette
Sunset coral, olive green, cream, and sand create a warm, natural aesthetic reminiscent of California vineyards at dusk.
Key Flowers
Sunflowers represent joy, lavender brings serenity, and eucalyptus symbolizes resilience in their relationship.
Design Approach
Organic, sustainable arrangements that capture the essence of wine country while honoring the couple's environmental values.
Floral Design Methodology
Our approach balances color, form, and material harmony to create cohesive yet dynamic arrangements throughout the venue. Each element is carefully selected to withstand the environment while maintaining visual impact.
Color Balance
Sunset coral dominates focal arrangements, softened by olive foliage and cream accents like baby's breath and dried grasses.
Form & Hierarchy
Sunflowers as focal blooms; lavender for texture; cascading eucalyptus for movement. Asymmetrical layouts mimic vineyard vines.
Material Harmony
Linen ribbons, reclaimed wood vessels, and terracotta pots create tactile contrast throughout the spaces.
Light Integration
Arrangements highlighted with sunset backlighting for ceremony and candlelight for dinner reception.
Theme Integration
Every floral element tells a part of Sophie and Liam's story, from meaningful dates to shared passions. Personal touches ensure the design feels uniquely theirs rather than generic.
Ceremony & Rituals
Grapevine wreaths with coral roses symbolizing union and olive sprigs for peace at the wine-blending altar.
Terracotta pots numbered "8" and "22" with trailing lavender mark significant dates along the aisle.
Personal Flowers
Bridal bouquet features sunflowers, lavender, and eucalyptus with a hidden jazz music note charm.
Groom's boutonniere combines eucalyptus leaf and dried lavender, pinned with a cork from their first wine tasting.
Reception & Dinner
Sunflower stems in recycled wine bottles and lavender sprigs on reclaimed wood table cards.
Eucalyptus garland with edible dried lavender petals adorns the wedding cake.

Risk Management
Anticipating potential challenges ensures the floral design remains beautiful throughout the celebration. Our preventative measures address environmental factors, material considerations, and venue-specific adaptations.
Environmental Factors
Water tubes for sunflowers and anchored arches with sandbags protect against heat and wind. We'll confirm no lavender/eucalyptus allergies among VIPs.
Material Consistency
We avoid plastics in favor of biodegradable ties and reclaimed containers. Coral tones will be tested under sunset light to prevent clashes with venue décor.
Venue Adaptation
Installations are reinforced with flexible wiring to withstand coastal wind, and weighted bases secure aisle planters in sandy areas.
Final Summary
This design merges California's golden hour with French rustic charm, celebrating Sophie and Liam's love for nature, adventure, and sustainability. Every detail—from the lavender-scented aisles to the repurposed wine bottle vases—echoes their story.
