Elizabeth & Kelly’s Floral Wonderland Wedding

From day one of planning, Liz dreamed of a wedding filled with flowers, flowers, and more flowers! And after nailing down a color scheme of soft dusty lilacs and minimal vibrant pops of plum, we designed the rest of her wedding aesthetics accordingly.

Elizabeth & Kelly’s vision of a floral wonderland wedding began with an aisle completely lined with lush flowers all the way to the altar. With beautiful Lake Mendota as a backdrop, Kelly & Liz said their vows surrounded by family and friends, as well as TONS of gorgeous blooms from Daffodil*Parker.

Later on in the celebration, Chance Productions also teamed up with the incredible floral team to make Liz’s lavish vision of an all floral “ceiling” above the dance floor come to life….and boy did they deliver! Guests didn’t dance under the stars, but instead under the illuminated floral installation. The table centerpieces were kept intentionally minimal as to not take away from the statement piece in the center of the room, and give it that wow-moment it deserved!

With both families being huge Badger fans, it was important to have some of their favorite Madison touches infused into their big day, including Babcock ice cream for dessert and an appearance from Bucky during the dancing! As a thank you to their guests, the couple had Ivy Illustrations create live drawings of guests throughout the night.

Elizabeth & Kelly’s Floral Wonderland Wedding was filled with truly personal touches and so many “wow” moments, it made it an even more special day for the couple and their guests. It was a day we are all SURE to remember, and one we are so happy to have had the opportunity to bring to life! Cheers, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson!
