When Simone told me the flowers would need to compliment the hand-painted flowers on the dress her mother was hand-building, I could not have been more inspired! As an amateur seamstress myself, I couldn’t imagine anything dreamier. Simone had such a clear and beautiful vision for what she wanted, while still giving me the freedom to be and artist. A joy to work with, in the end her vision came together in true perfection, from the dress (obviously), to the flowers, the meal at Cafe Pinot, the music, all against the backdrop of the city, it was a true celebration of love.

While the florals nodded to the October wedding date, with deep burgundy, burnt orange, and mustard yellows, the contrasting dark plum and dynamic peach and light blue tones keep them from being too on the nose and lend a much deeper palette.

A tight, round bouquet but not at all the traditional “round ball”. With dynamic colors and an array of textures, this bouquet complemented the hand painted flowers on the dress without stealing the show.

The wedding took place just steps from the historic Central Library, and surrounded by downtowns most iconic architecture, including Frank Gehry’s Disney Concert Hall, The Broad and the classic Biltmore Hotel. “We love exploring urban cities and I’m a native Angeleno, so being surrounded by tall skyscrapers and the historic architecture of the DTLA library felt really magical and quintessentially Los Angeles,” said Simone.
