Cherry blossoms are pure poetry, aren't they?

We love how each bloom plays its own role—cherry blossoms creating that gossamer fairy-tale texture, peonies bringing serious romantic presence, and wisteria softening every harsh line. The scattered petals on the ground? That's not mess, darling—that's nature's confetti creating the most beautiful organic carpet for your ceremony.

Design Note: To achieve this cascading effect, ask your florist to emphasize the architectural lines of the wisteria while keeping the peonies clustered for visual impact.

Mason Jar Magic: Rustic Elevated

When Humble Containers Become Design Stars

We're absolutely charmed by how these mason jars embrace intentional imperfection rather than trying too hard to be formal. The varying heights create visual rhythm that keeps your eye engaged, whilst the mix of roses, delphiniums, and sweet peas in each jar tells its own little story. This combination works beautifully because each flower operates at a different scale—roses anchor, delphiniums reach skyward, and sweet peas add delicate texture.

Composition Secret: Focus on choosing one 'anchor' bloom for weight, a technique we use to ground several 'airy' stems and add visual depth.

Altar Arrangements: Framing Your Moment

The consistent sizing reads as intentional design without overwhelming the chair proportions—a detail that enhances your processional photography whilst clearly defining your ceremony space.

Photography Hint: Frame your aisle with consistent floral accents to guide the eye toward the altar, a detail we love for creating a polished backdrop.

We love how the density varies throughout—some areas feel luxuriously full whilst others allow glimpses of the underlying structure.
