Florals & Candles

Modern wedding florals incorporate unconventional elements and designs, while still maintaining a contemporary and minimalist feel. Flower arrangements tend to be artistic and will include minimal flowers that will be placed in geometric and patterned vessels. Since there is simplicity throughout the wedding, adding a larger installation piece as a focal point will give your event an elevated and modern touch. Make sure to include candles in your overall floral budget. Ceramic taper candles and white or neutral pillar candles are a beautiful look. A soft glow during dinner screams modern elegance!
