If hiring a florist isn’t in your wedding budget, our friends at Flower Moxie have a solution with their approachable take on wedding day florals. From simple elopements to lavish weddings, every couple deserves florals that bring pops of color, elegance, and incredible fragrance to their day!

Their freelance floral designers are real florists who have worked on hundreds of real weddings and respect budget ranges. They’re quick to give ideas on how to make the most of your wedding floral budget.

As part of the process, your floral designer will provide a customized mood and design board, floral recipes, and build your cart for easy checkout.

Gilded details, show-stopping florals, sparkling decor, and elegant outfits—Zach and Cherelle’s Caramel Room wedding was dripping with luxury. With the help of their planner Wink Design and Events, they transformed the ballroom to suit their vision, with every detail screaming glamour. 

The dramatic florals by An Affair To Remember were the star of the show at this extravagant wedding. The couple said their “I do’s” under a unique arch with lush wrap-around blooms. The opulent feeling was further achieved at their reception—from the canopies of cascading florals to the towering centerpieces paired with crystal chandeliers and glittering candlelight.

And, of course, a glamorous event like this calls for stylish attire. The couple was dressed to the nines for their fabulous big day, with the bride in a sophisticated lace applique trumpet wedding dress that complemented the groom’s black and white tuxedo perfectly. If luxe vibes are what you’re going for at your wedding, you’ll fall in love with these beautiful images by Elizabeth Lloyd.

Stunning and Luxe San Miguel Destination Wedding

May 28, 2022 | riley

Spectacular colonial views of the towns, the best highland sunset, lavish decor, and opulent florals—Caroline and Philip’s picture-perfect San Miguel destination wedding will sweep you away. Captivated by the bride’s hometown, the couple wanted to return with all their loved ones to experience the magic on their big day together. And with the help of their planner Lucero Alvarez, they pulled off the luxurious wedding theme like a dream!

The couple exchanged vows at their beautiful traditional ceremony in Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel before heading to their grand marquee reception at Rosewood San Miguel De Allende. There they danced the night away underneath a decadent ceiling filled with lush florals and fairy lights

To top it all off, they tied the show-stopping elements together with their stunning wedding fashion. The groom looked perfectly dapper in a classic tux, while the bride made a statement with her floral wedding gown and matching embroidered veil. One look at these breathtaking images by Junebug member Ana Hinojosa, and we guarantee you’ll be inspired to start planning your own luxe faraway fete.

The Couple:

Caroline and Philip

The Wedding:

Rosewood San Miguel, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

Why They Chose A San Miguel Destination Wedding 

I grew up going to San Miguel as a little girl, and my family is of Mexican heritage, so it just made sense that we get married in my hometown. We’ve always described San Miguel as magical, and that’s how I feel every time I see the cobblestone streets and colorful doors.

The First Look And First Dance Are The Bride’s Most Cherished Wedding Memories

The first look and first dance are a tie for my favorite moment of the day. All I wanted to do was be with Phil that day, so seeing him for the first time brought me the greatest sense of peace. I knew the rest of the day would be okay no matter what. Our first dance was to “Young and Beautiful” by Lana del Ray and was a truly magical moment for me. It felt like time was suspended at that moment for us.
