The other #bridalbouquet from our #2for1weddingweekend was for #bellesbride #Jing. Hers was a compact, clean, classic look composed of just #callalilies and #roses. She utilized the #doubletree centerpiece items and added fresh #rosepetals, and opted for a pop of bright color in her altar florals. #boutonniere #bellesandthistles #weddingflowers #weddingflorist #designerduo #floristlife #bellesandthistlesfloraldesign #belleslovesweddings #bellesloveslove #haveflowerswilltravel #travelingflorist #chicagoflorist #indianaflorist #milwaukeeflorist #flowers #theknotbestofweddings

And we accented the #EmeraldRoom at #gaelicpark with additional foliage touches to echo the natural feel and emerald green color scheme used throughout the event. #centerpiece #cardbox #caketable #headtable #cocktailtable #floatingcandles #submergedfoliage #loosefoliage #eucalyptus #ruscus #bellesandthistles #weddingflowers #weddingflorist #designerduo #floristlife #bellesandthistlesfloraldesign #belleslovesweddings #bellesloveslove #haveflowerswilltravel #travelingflorist #chicagoflorist #indianaflorist #milwaukeeflorist #flowers #theknotbestofweddings #2for1weddingweekend

Last weekend we designed a pair of weddings, a ‘2-for-1 wedding weekend’ as we call it. Both bridal bouquets consisted of white flowers, but were totally different from each other. #bellesbride #brenna had a loose, more textured, organic design with a nice variety and some foliage. #bridesbouquet #bridesmaidsbouquet #corsage #boutonniere #rose #astilbe #stock #hydrangea #eucalyptus #sprayrose #ruscus #bellesandthistles #weddingflowers #weddingflorist #designerduo #floristlife #bellesandthistlesfloraldesign #belleslovesweddings #bellesloveslove #haveflowerswilltravel #travelingflorist #chicagoflorist #indianaflorist #milwaukeeflorist #flowers #theknotbestofweddings #2for1weddingweekend

Look it’s not a wreath! Last weekend we spent some time in the Historic Third Ward of Milwaukee, at Plant No. 4. It was our first time there and let us say the venue is so rad. Tons of cool details, highly recommend. We didn’t have any centerpieces for this event but were sure to leave some little floral touches where we could. This first image is from the outdoor patio to be used as a cigar bar by #bellesbride #Lauren and her guests. Then take a gander at the personal flowers next because those were pretty too! #blushandburgundy #bellesandthistles #weddingflowers #weddingflorist #designerduo #floristlife #bellesandthistlesfloraldesign #belleslovesweddings #bellesloveslove #haveflowerswilltravel #travelingflorist #chicagoflorist #indianaflorist #milwaukeeflorist #flowers #theknotbestofweddings #bridalbouquet #bridesmaidsbouquet #corsage #boutonniere #plantno4 #mkewedding

Yea Baby! So delighted to be receiving this commendation from @theknot! We work super hard, sacrifice a lot and put so much of ourselves into our events. Even though we have the best couples this #designerduo could ask for, the behind the scenes junk often goes unnoticed and so it’s pretty nice to be officially, publicly recognized for a job well done. Feeling pretty thankful for each other today, for this acknowledgement for the support of all of you! We had the best year running all over the midwest flowering up the coolest spaces. We loved getting to know our 50+ couples and create unique designs for them. Huge thanks to all who left us reviews. Those sentiments make our heart full and fuel us for the future. And additional thanks to our hubbys, our mothers, and sisters for all they do to support our shenanigans on this B & T adventure. Hooray!! #theknotbestofweddings2020 #theknot #theknotbestofweddings #theknotbestof

In another successful collaborative effort we added our fresh florals to our clients’ hard goods, and came up with great results. #bellesbride #megan and her Groom Phil provided the lanterns, glass, candles, and even made those wood centerpiece boxes! The head table had a box 4 feet long! We filled it with coordinating loose floral and floating candles then we accented the rest of the table in foliage. Honestly, it was all pretty striking in person. Just imagine this draped room with all the candles flowing, drinks flowing.... yes.

So #belleslovesfall. Like a lot. Pumpkins, spooky stuff, the changing leaves, bonfires, snacks, the whole thing. And we adore fall flowers in mix of warm spicy colors, but we don’t get too many #bellesbrides who embrace those tones like we do. Instead, we typically get to play in these cooler colors with alllll the same great textures. And we’re not mad about it. Ok. Kinda obsessed, really. How fab is this assortment for #bellesbride Megan? #kingprotea #dahlia #callalily #astilbe #hydrangea #waxflower #kangaroopaw #oliveleaf #silverdollareucalyptus #plum #burgundy #blush #bridalbouquet #bridesmaidsbouquet #flowergirlbasket #boutonniere #bellesandthistles #weddingflowers #weddingflorist #designerduo #fridayflowers #bellesandthistlesfloraldesign #belleslovesweddings #haveflowerswilltravel #travelingflorist #chicagoflorist #indianaflorist

2 styles of centerpiece adorned the tables @chicagogaelicpark for #bellesbride #jessica. Terrarium style lanterns with vases of coordinating floral on half, and we utilized the collection of glass provided by the venue for the remaining tables. We just added branches, floating candles and rose petals for a natural autumn look. #bellesandthistles #weddingflowers #weddingflorist #designerduo #floristlife #bellesandthistlesfloraldesign #belleslovesweddings #bellesloveslove #haveflowerswilltravel #travelingflorist #chicagoflorist #indianaflorist #milwaukeeflorist #flowers #gaelicpark #chicagogaelicpark #marriedmondays
