The Drake Hotel, Toronto
When it comes to weddings, bigger isn’t always better—sometimes, it’s about the details. For this micro wedding at The Drake Hotel in Toronto, we embraced the power of intimate luxury, elevating every detail with sculptural florals and a moody, modern color palette. Think Loewe meets downtown chic, with an artistic, editorial twist. It’s proof that small weddings deserve florals that truly steal the show.
Stacked Florals: Bold, Sculptural, and Unexpected
For this stunning micro wedding, we designed stacked floral arrangements that captured the essence of modern elegance with a bold, cool-girl twist. We layered deep burgundy tones, moody blues, and soft neutrals to create an unexpected yet harmonious combination that felt fresh and sophisticated. Each arrangement was meticulously curated to bring both texture and depth, creating sculptural floral compositions that were as much a piece of art as they were a floral design.
Burgundy: Deep, rich, and timeless, the burgundy tones brought an air of romance and drama to the arrangements, grounding the palette and adding a touch of vintage flair.
Moody Blues: A cool and unexpected contrast, the blues brought in an element of modernity and edge, perfect for a couple looking to break from traditional wedding florals. The cool tones created depth and a sense of mystery, making the florals feel chic and editorial.
Soft Neutrals: To balance the bold colors, we incorporated soft neutrals that kept the overall design feeling fresh and light, softening the darker tones while allowing the other hues to shine. These neutral blooms acted as a backdrop, allowing the burgundy and blues to pop without overwhelming the design.
Styled in Silver Dessert Dishes: Vintage Meets Vogue
The florals were styled in vintage-inspired silver dessert dishes, adding a touch of nostalgia to the otherwise modern aesthetic. These dishes felt like they came straight out of a Vogue editorial spread—sleek and sophisticated, with just enough vintage charm to make a statement. The combination of stacked florals and these silver vessels created a sophisticated contrast, blending old-world elegance with contemporary cool-girl energy.
It wasn’t just about the flowers—it was about creating a visual moment. These arrangements were bold, beautiful, and undeniably editorial. They told a story of modern romance, elevated luxury, and personal style.
