terracotta & cacti underneath a burning sky

Tiffany and Jose's September wedding was inspired by the couple's love for the high desert, the desert, and their goal to honor Jose's Mexican heritage. Their saturated color palette was influenced by the late summer sunsets that we experience here in Bend. Local ingredients like tumbleweeds were highlighted, with other fun ingredients like cacti, pampas grass, dried palms mixed with seasonal dahlias, roses, grasses, straw flower, and castor beans.

“THe most beautiful bouquet and florals i've ever seen with my own eyes.  thank you so much for making this dream come true.”

THE CEREMonY

The backdrop of Tiffany & Jose's ceremony were floral pillars that stood on either side of them full of texture, blooms, and cacti with baskets and terracotta vases clustered at the base full of succulents and cacti.  The pillars transitioned to the reception, creating an unforgettable photo back drop for their guests to be pictured with.  

The PErsonals

Tiffany's dramatic bouquet was unlike anything we have ever made before.  We included blooming cacti (that we removed the spines from) & dried palms along with other desert and high desert elements.  Her maids' full bouquets included many of the same ingredients as Tiffany's with same intention and less drama to compliment their gowns.  Jose & his groomsmen each wore unique boutonnieres with small seasonal blooms, grasses, seed pods, and succulents.

The PARTY

The Barn at Brasada Ranch was dressed to the nines to offer Tiffany & Jose's guests a once-in-a-lifetime experience.  Suspended tumbleweeds hung from the ceiling along with string lighting.  A large focal fireplace art installation acted as the backdrop for their intimate sweetheart table full of all of Tiffany and Jose's favorite floral ingredients flanked by potted cacti and euphorbia.  Elevated, gestural arrangements anchored each table with full compote arrangements and bud vases at their base surrounded by candles and tabletop decor that honored their theme.
