amber + adam [rehearsal dinner]
We had the honor of creating gorgeous arrangements for Amber and Adam's rehearsal dinner at Lawless Spirits & Kitchen in September. If you have never heard of Lawless, you seriously have to check it out. If you have an eye for design, a love of good cocktails or are into old historic buildings, it is absolutely a joint for you. It is always fun to see our work in places other than the typical wedding venue.
"Lawless Spirits & Kitchen celebrates the mavericks, dissenters, and nonconformists who have shaped the world with their unbridled courage and unrestrained passion. Its glitzy style evokes visions of Frank Sinatra or Steve McQueen leaning on the bar with a stiff, well-crafted Rye Manhattan. Plush lounge areas and revolutionary cocktails beckon to modern-day adventurers, intellectuals, and pioneers forged with the character of a Teddy Roosevelt, Mark Twain, or Susan B. Anthony."

The gold chivari chairs were the perfect match to our gold compote containers. They really were the perfect pop and made everything feel THAT much more romantic. (Not to mention, the uplighting from the prohibition style bar is so dreamy. )

Amber & Adam chose red as their inspiration with touches of blush and lush greenery to fill the compote arrangements. We wanted to play off of the colors and flowers that they used for their actual wedding day while not mirroring them exactly. The arrangements are composed of the following flowers:
- Garden Roses
- Spray Roses
- Scabiosa
- Cotinus
- Privett Berries
- Pepper Berries
- Eucalyptus
- Bay Laurel
- Gomphrena
