Cornman Farms Wedding | Spring wedding flowers by red poppy floral design ann arbor

It was such a joy to get to work with Kara and Andrew and their family on the beautiful flowers for their Zingerman’s Cornman Farms wedding. It was a perfect spring day and the colors and the garden feel of these blooms was joyful and vibrant, soft and elegant. The chuppah was created by the groom’s father and we added lovely greens and floral accents, but we kept it simple and let the special made-with-love structure shine. We created a beautiful focal piece at the head table in the center of the tent - an elevated floral structure that brought soft color and a sense of something special into the tent for dining. Thank you to Chelsea Brown Photography for these beautiful images - they are stunning!

Frutig Farm The Valley Autumn Wedding | Red Poppy Wedding Flowers

Fall is the best for texture and warm, rich tones - it was such a joy to get to create these rich, autumnal pieces for Elise and Andrew who got to have their celebration in the beautiful open fields at Frutig Farm The Valley in Ann Arbor. The warm, rich tones and textures were the perfect feel of fall on a day warm enough to be outside and enjoy the scenic views at The Valley. Just gorgeous :) Thank you Carey Ahn Photography for these images.

Autumn Downtown Ann Arbor Wedding | Red Poppy Wedding Flowers

Downtown Ann Arbor is just gorgeous in the fall - it’s such a lovely time for a wedding when all your friends and family can walk downtown for drinks and brunch and enjoy all the new art and murals downtown - so special! It was such a joy to get to create these flowers for Miranda and Harry’s wedding downtown - with a ceremony at the Ann Arbor Art Center and reception at Zingerman’s Greyline. The Greyline is a freshly renovated old downtown bus station, with the classic bus station signage still out front and a sophisticated, retro vibe inside. I loved designing these chuppah flowers against the brick walls at the Ann Arbor Art Center - a perfect warm terracotta tone for an autumn day. Thank you to Abby Rose Photo for these beautiful images!

Summer wedding at Misty Farm | Ann Arbor Wedding Flowers

It was a perfect summer celebration for Michael and Andrew at Frutig Farms Misty Farm. The floral decor was natural, lush, classic, with purples, golden yellows, blues, creams, and lots of lush foliages. I just love decorating the wedding ceremony arch here - it feels like a perfect blank canvas with trees framing it and giving it all a perfect natural feel. Adding blooms here gives it that splash of color and brightness to feel celebratory. Looking back at these images, I just love how the olive and eucalyptus give some movement to the arch decor - it’s so great to have the perfect textural foliages at the right time int he season! The greens added inside the tent brought a little more natural feel. Congratulations Andrew & Michael - it was a joy being a part of your celebration!

Ombre wedding shower | Ann Arbor wedding flowers

Yes, yes! To requests for all the color! These ombre wedding shower flowers were a dream! Bold, colorful clouds of all the colors of the rainbow. These past few months have had more requests for lots of color than ever before, and I wonder if it’s this extra joy at gathering and celebrating after pandemic and fewer gatherings - getting back out there!

Frutig Farms The Valley Wedding Flowers | Ann Arbor Wedding Florist

The outside spaces at Frutig Farms The Valley are just magical. It’s amazing to have a perfectly serene, natural space with long views of waving grasses in the sun - just ten minutes from town. It’s such a special place! It was a joy to get to create these pieces for Max and Molly, who waited patiently to get to celebrate with family and friends. Lots of greens and textures and eucalyptus, and blush and burgundy blooms for a natural and sophisticated feel. Gold accents in the candles for a warm glow. Congratulations, Max and Molly!

Elegant Downtown Detroit Wedding | Westin Book Cadillac | Red Poppy Floral Design

So worth the wait! Ramona and Dan were so patient with rescheduling their wedding. I believe meeting with Ramona and her mom in person in 2019 was the last in person meeting I had before everything moved virtual in March. So it was a really long wait until their December 2021 wedding. The plan was always to celebrate at The Westin Book Cadillac in Detroit, but the change to a December wedding I think really enhanced the elegant, sophisticated, feel. All the candlelight and the soft gold colors in a romantically lit room - it was gorgeous. I loved adding a bold pop of raspberry, cranberry, blush, apricot, and gold tones into the flowers. This was all shot so beautifully by Nicole Haley Photography - so many beautiful details - Ramona’s Indian ceremony outfit and her reception dress! And the cake by Sweet Heather Anne that matched her dress is just stunning. Congratulations Ramona and Dan - it was a joy to celebrate with you!

Ann Arbor Wedding Flowers | Red Poppy Floral Design

Nothing gets me into the fall spirit than having hundreds of sunflowers in the studio! Loved getting to create these pieces for this sunflower-loving bride, bringing in all the rich, classic autumnal tones - burgundy, amethyst, goldeny yellows all with lovely textured greens. Loved using the little viking pom (mini little sunflower-like blooms) on the flower girl basket and boutonnieres. Congratulations, Gabby and Avery!
