What an exciting year for weddings in Arkansas! As the world re-opened, the bridal industry exploded as couples were finally able to put their long awaited wedding planning into action. 

This year saw some of the biggest blowouts when it came to blooms. We featured what seemed like an endless array of Arkansas weddings complete with breathtaking flowers. Here are a handful of our favorites from our features in print and online in 2021. Which is your fave? 

OUR FAVE FLORALS

 

Two-in-One

We loved this wonderful two-part wedding, with florals from two of our favorite flower vendors, Kelly Efird Floral Events AND Vase and Vine. The soft romance of these delicate flowers for Kyndalle and Ty's twice as nice wedding. The outdoor pampas grass on the rustic ceremony arch were particularly beautiful at The Grandeur House in Little Rock.

We love Fall in Fayetteville, and this Meus Floral wedding of fabulous fall and pretty pink florals had us right there. Blush, burgundy, cream and champagne tones carried throughout the beautiful floral arches and aisle in Claire and Scott's wedding décorFor their reception, they chose luxe velvets and fall florals to lend an intimate and comfortable feeling to the chilly October evening.

We're head over heels for Rachel and Cain's fruit and wine color combo, and the dazzling bouquets by Silks-A-Bloom. And can we talk about those tablescapes? What a wonderful way to tie the whole wedding together!

Samantha's Garden outdid themselves with these summery floral elements at Elise and Jacob's wedding. We're talking about the playful pinks, soft yellows and sunset oranges all across the bouquets, tables, ceremony and overhead display.

SPRING/SUMMER SNEAK PEEKS

Romantic Rehearsal Dinner

Grant Harrison Photography

Tipton & Hurst wowed us with this wonderful rehearsal dinner spread. With the help of JoBeth McElhanon of Lilias & Olive, they were able to plan an elevated, stylish and fun rehearsal dinner at the Sunset Lodge at Rusty Tractor Vineyards in Little Rock for Kirby and Walker. The goal was to bring the feel of the vineyard indoors, with Tuscan and California Wine Country touches throughout the décor.

Bohemian Bash

These dainty, dried florals brought bohemian glam to all aspects of the wedding of Megan and Noah. The dried blooms were the star of the show, and Samantha's Garden show us all how it's the little touches that matter most.

Outstanding Orchids

Lela & Lyla Photography

What a wonderful idea, centering the entire floral design around one wonderful flower! Orchids were the star of the show at Natalie and Davis' Walton Arts Center wedding. With two different patterns of monochromatic magic, Zuzu's Petals worked wonders across the entire wedding.
