Rehearsal Dinners — BLOG — LAYERS Of LOVELY FLORAL DESIGN

We had the incredible honor of designing the floral arrangements for a stunning rehearsal dinner for a Little Nell wedding in Aspen, Colorado. Nestled in the heart of the Rockies, The Little Nell offers breathtaking views and an ambiance of unparalleled luxury—perfect for an event celebrating love and togetherness.

Cocktail Hour with a View

The evening began with a cocktail hour on the terrace, where guests sipped on signature drinks while taking in the panoramic mountain views. As the sun set, the mountains were bathed in a warm, golden light, creating a magical backdrop for the evening's festivities. A giant installation of the word "LOVE," meticulously covered in white hydrangeas and orchids, provided a picturesque photo opportunity. The delicate blooms contrasted beautifully against the rugged mountain landscape, symbolizing the harmonious blend of elegance and natural beauty that defined the evening.

A Lavish Dining Experience

As the cocktail hour drew to a close, guests were ushered into The Little Nell's exquisite dining room. The room was a vision of opulence, adorned with an array of white, ivory, and champagne-colored blooms. Each table was a masterpiece, featuring lush arrangements of roses, peonies, and hydrangea, accented with greenery for a touch of freshness.

The centerpiece of the room was undoubtedly the chandelier. Draped in cascading blooms, it hung like a floral waterfall from the ceiling, creating a stunning focal point that drew gasps of admiration from everyone who entered. The soft lighting of the room, combined with the gentle sway of the floral chandelier, created an enchanting, almost dreamlike atmosphere.

Heartfelt Speeches and Floral Backdrops

The evening reached its emotional peak during the speeches. Friends and family shared heartfelt stories and wishes in front of a backdrop of flickering candles and draping orchids. The warm candlelight reflected off the petals, creating a soft, romantic glow that perfectly framed each speaker. The combination of candlelight and florals provided an intimate, cozy setting that made the speeches even more touching and memorable.

Reflecting on a Perfect Evening

Designing the florals for this rehearsal dinner at The Little Nell was an absolute delight. The blend of natural beauty and luxurious details made for a truly unforgettable evening. I am always inspired by the love and joy that these events celebrate, and it was a privilege to contribute to such a special occasion.
