Taylor and Steven’s wedding at Paradise Spring in Lithia, Florida was romantic, artistic, and just a little unexpected. Set beneath the venue’s sprawling oak trees, their floral design paired soft, romantic blooms with tropical textures and deeper, moodier accents for a look that felt completely their own.
For the ceremony, flowing ivory draping created a soft backdrop surrounded by statement floral arrangements in shades of peach, blush, burgundy, lavender, chartreuse green, and ivory. Anthurium, roses, hydrangea, ranunculus, snapdragons, hanging amaranthus, and tropical foliage brought movement and dimension to the designs. Smaller floral groupings lined the aisle, carrying the color palette through the entire outdoor ceremony space.
The reception took the design in an even more intimate direction. Low, sculptural centerpieces were paired with delicate bud vases, taper candles, moss, fruit, and unexpected decorative details. The mix of candlelight, organic textures, and loosely arranged blooms gave the tables an almost still-life quality—romantic and elegant, but far from traditional.
One of our favorite elements of Taylor and Steven’s wedding was the way the florals felt as though they were growing through the space rather than simply decorating it. Long strands of green amaranthus spilled from arrangements, anthurium created dramatic lines, and pops of deep burgundy added contrast against the softer peach and ivory tones.
From their garden ceremony beneath the trees to their candlelit reception, Taylor and Steven’s Paradise Spring wedding was a beautiful example of how color, texture, and unconventional floral choices can create something sophisticated, whimsical, and entirely personal.
