This opulent design was created to feel warm, inviting, and rich. The layered textures and vibrant blooms created an authentic, luxurious look that levitated beautifully over the chosen soft gray linen and drapery. Take a look at what we created as a Southern-Inspired Wedding Design with Timeless Elegance | Memphis Wedding Inspiration.

We were inspired by having a color palette of dark burgundy and red, bright fuchsia and purples, with a canvas of gray, accented with gold. This color palette made it pretty easy to dream. The idea of the design is one of luxury, inspired by the depth of romance. It speaks to a sense of style and opulence, perfect for an upscale and lavish celebration. Using the mix of blooms like roses, snapdragon, lisianthus, scabiosa, and hydrangeas, we weaved together a tapestry of colors that exuded sumptuousness.





Our Approach to the Design
- A luscious mix of a burgundy, purple, and pink palette with a base of greenery was selected to create a vibrant, yet sultry foundation
- Roses, spray roses, lisianthus, scabiosa, and hydrangeas were layered to give a lush statement
- A floating centerpiece for an estate styled King’s Table was designed to be the peak of the entire design aesthetic
- Textural variation was used to elevate dimension in every floral piece
- The floral design was developed to complement the overall aesthetic seamlessly


This design approach allows florals to feel meaningful, cohesive, and enduring…and never trendy for the sake of trend.



If you’re drawn to romantic, thoughtfully designed florals, our team can bring your vision to life.

be sweet & happy planning!
