Lilac It Or Not: July 2026

Our summer wedding season is in full swing! With flowers blooming at their very best, this time of year is full of inspiration for beautiful, creative floral design. From vibrant color palettes and whimsical garden-inspired arrangements to statement installations that transform a space, summer weddings give us endless opportunities to dream big. In this month’s blog, we’re sharing a couple of recent celebrations that showcase this. Let’s get started…

The first event we’re sharing today is an art nouveau-inspired wedding and the second is a wedding where a whimsical garden style meets macabre! Let’s jump in with the wedding of Heather & Anant…

This wedding was a whimsical celebration inspired by the beauty of an art nouveau garden, with florals that felt both romantic and beautifully untamed. Lush blooms and textures gave each arrangement an effortless, garden-gathered feel, while the art nouveau influence added an elegant, artistic touch. We ended up with a dreamy floral story that felt imaginative, organic, and completely unique.

The second event we’re sharing today is the wedding of Anika & Darin!

This wedding was a delightfully unexpected blend of whimsical garden romance and macabre charm, proving that wedding florals can be as unique as the couple themselves. A rich and eclectic color palette brought the design to life, adding depth and intrigue. The result was a celebration that felt playful, dramatic, and beautiful. It was a true garden fantasy with a dark twist!

That wraps up this month’s featured events but we’ll be back soon with two more in August. In the meantime, make sure you’re following us on Instagram and Pinterest. We’re always posting our most recent weddings and behind-the-scenes content there!
