Modern Wedding Design: Blooms

Indoor-Outdoor Cocktail Hour at Sapphire Creek: A Perfect Blend of Elegance and Charm
Sapphire Creek provided the perfect setting for a memorable indoor-outdoor cocktail hour. Guests were welcomed into a stunning space that offered the best of both worlds — the warmth of an indoor gathering space and the beauty of the outdoors. The highlight of the cocktail hour was an exquisite cheese and charcuterie display, brimming with artisanal selections that perfectly paired with the handcrafted cocktails. A custom ice sculpture, sculpted with the couple’s logo, added a unique touch as it beautifully encased the raw bar display, delighting guests with fresh, chilled seafood. As the sun set and the temperature remained just right, guests were able to step outside, mingle under the clear skies, and enjoy the perfect weather, making the cocktail hour an unforgettable start to the celebration.

The room was aglow with an abundance of candlelight, creating a warm, intimate ambiance that contrasted beautifully with the Oak Room’s grandeur. The venue’s vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows allowed natural light to flood the space. Contemporary light fixtures added an extra layer of style and drama. Every detail, from the furnishings to the lighting, complemented the stunning architecture.
Custom Stationery: Menus and Place Cards
The custom stationery placed at each guest seat was a luxurious detail that enhanced the overall design. The menus were crisp white with black text and featured the couple’s embossed wedding logo. Each place card was carefully attached to the menu with a black satin bow. Resting atop a glass charger, the menus and place cards set the tone for a refined and cohesive dining experience.
A Modern Tablescape with Crystal, Black Flatware, and Timeless Details
The table design was an exquisite mix of refined details that added depth and texture to the overall aesthetic. Crystal water glasses complemented the ribbed glass coupes filled with champagne. Ribbed hurricanes housing tall taper candles and ribbed votives added to the modern charm. The addition of bud vases, each holding a single stem white rose, brought an organic elegance to the table scape. Complimenting the glass charger plates, black flatware added a bold element to the modern wedding design.
Sweetheart Table Magic: A Dreamy Baby’s Breath Arch and Toasts of Love
At the head of the room, Marija and David sat at their beautifully designed sweetheart table. It was the focal point of the reception. Surrounding them was a custom arch by Jorgielee Florals composed of delicate baby’s breath, creating a soft, fluffy cloud that framed the couple. This stunning floral installation served as the perfect backdrop for their dinner and the heartfelt toasts given by their loved ones. As they raised their glasses in a toast, their cheers symbolized the beginning of their new life together before the party officially kicked off.
