High-impact floral installations like this one and seasonal, unconventional choices like edible elements are becoming a centerpiece of wedding decor.
This hanging floral installation was crafted by talented local florist Kailey of Bare Roots for a Styled Shoot at The Atrium On Tenth. This collaborative design, created in combination with Courtney Canine - owner and lead designer at Pretty Little Things Vintage Rentals - is one of my all time favorite looks. I love the moody hues and nuanced design details that make this setting feel both luxurious and modern.
Brides are embracing multiple outfit changes throughout the event, often opting for three distinct looks to mark different phases of the celebration.

Our bride had her gown for all of the formalities, and then opted for a shorter party dress for the rest of the festivities. Just look at all the fun she's having in her all white bouncy house from A-1 Party + Event Rentals that she couldn't have if she hadn't changed.
