For Jessie and Taylor’s wedding, they chose a gorgeous mint color, an urban venue as the setting, and tons of white flowers and fresh greenery! This was one of our first weddings in our HUGE Spring wedding season this year. And, we absolutely loved starting our season out at the Turnbull Building in Chattanooga. This 4-story historic building downtown has tons of urban charm, and we love that the ceremony space is pretty much a blank canvas. So, we often get to create something non-traditional as the ceremony floral installation.

Jessie loved the idea of incorporating tons of wedding greenery into the classic color pallet she chose. The fresh greenery looked awesome with the mint bridesmaid’s dresses and napkins, a boxwood champaign wall, and all of the warm tones of the venue’s wooden & brick interior. We loved how the floating greenery installation turned out for the ceremony. And, the couple decided to flip the 4th floor ceremony into the reception layout during the cocktail hour. So, they even got to repurpose the floating greenery around the cake table. How perfect!

Using eucalyptus greenery in wedding flowers is extremely popular right now. We do a ton of weddings with it each year, and our brides love the muted blue-ish green tones of the greenery. I personally love mixing a few different types of eucalyptus with some more green foliage like ruscus or nagi. But, some brides love just eucalyptus for the greenery in their bouquets and floral arrangements. However, not all eucalyptus is the same. There are several different varieties that we love using for different reasons.

Below, I’ll show you the most common types of eucalyptus, and how they look used in bouquets or other wedding floral elements.

Planning their Downtown Chattanooga Wedding

Planning a wedding in 2020 was no easy task. When Emily contacted us about her big day, Covid-19 shut downs were in full swing. She shared with me that they had booked the Waterhouse Pavillion in downtown Chattanooga, for it’s open-air and Covid-safe features. She explained that her and her fiance Jaren had decided that they would move forward with planning their wedding whether it included 100+ people or 10. They just knew that on September 12th, they were getting married no matter what!

Several years ago when my sister got engaged, they chose a moissanite ring instead of a diamond. At that point, I had never heard of this stone, and knew nothing about the conflict that was occurring within the diamond industry. When I first saw her ring in person, I thought it looked exactly like a diamond and didn’t notice any difference at all. The stone had all the beauty and clarity I was used to seeing in a diamond, and I was truly impressed with it’s stunning sparkle-factor!

I am a wedding florist in Chattanooga, Tennessee, so I interact with a ton of brides each year. Ans since my first interaction with moissanite years ago after my sister’s engagement, many of my clients have shared with me that they too chose moissanite. So, I started doing research to find out all the reasons why a couple would choose this alternative stone, and here’s what I found:

Whether you’re planning a micro wedding (A.K.A. intimate wedding) or an elopement, we have some great ideas on how to make your big/small day super special.

Here at Lang Floral Designs, we do wedding flowers and event design in the Chattanooga area. We have had the privilege of working on over 100 weddings spanning the entire state of Tennessee and beyond. In 2020, we saw a massive change in the wedding industry due to COVID-19. Many of these couples had already begun planning their larger weddings (150-250 guests), and had to make the very difficult decision to move forward, cancel or postpone. However, now that we have seen how this pandemic-plagued year has progressed, many couples are loving the idea of a smaller “micro” wedding to decrease the risk of having to make such difficult decisions about their wedding day.
