Gatsby-Inspired Floral Design with Expert Mark Bryan Designs
Creating an Amber Glow
Guest author Mark Bryan, owner of Mark Bryan Designs, set the tone with Quicksand, Amnesia, and white roses paired with hydrangea, Bells of Ireland, brunia, and hanging amaranthus. Amber uplighting bathed the room in a warm glow, making the muted antique floral tones pop.
Lush Blooms for a Gatsby Vibe
To capture the opulent, textural style of a Gatsby wedding, Mark used large, open roses alongside clusters of white hydrangea. A mix of foliage added depth, while careful attention to venue and décor ensured the florals complemented the space.
Transforming the Venue with Light
The venue’s rustic backdrop was softened and unified with amber uplighting, which enhanced the flowers and reinforced the theme’s elegance.
Mixing Heights and Textures
Tall candelabras and silver fluted trumpets were paired with lower antique silver pieces, some adorned with hanging crystals and floral wreaths. The varied heights and textures created a space that felt intriguing, elegant, and timeless. It’s perfectly reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties. The result was a setting where every glance revealed another layer of beauty. Certainly, an opulent stage for a celebration straight out of the Roaring Twenties.
