Questions to ask your vendor

What to ask before you book

  1. 1.Have you designed sculptural floral installations that need to be structurally self-supporting, without traditional armature?
  2. 2.Can you fabricate or source geometric metal or acrylic arch frames, or do you work with a fabricator?
  3. 3.How do you approach a monochrome floral brief - single bloom, single color - without it reading as sparse or underdone?
  4. 4.Does the venue support projection mapping or architectural lighting that can complement the modern aesthetic?
  5. 5.What's your experience with custom neon or acrylic signage - do you produce it in-house or commission it?

Color palette

terracotta palette

Florals

  • -Rust-toned dahlias and marigolds
  • -Orange and copper chrysanthemums
  • -Dried amaranth and wheat
  • -Terracotta-toned dried botanicals

Decor & linens

  • -Terracotta clay pots and vessels
  • -Rust and amber candles
  • -Natural linen with earthy runners
  • -Wooden and rattan elements throughout
Terracotta is rich and earthy - pair with sage, cream, dusty rose, and warm white. Gold accents add depth. Avoid cool blues or purples - they fight the warmth.

Season planning

summer wedding tips

  • -Golden hour in summer falls late - often 8-9pm - which gives you a long, beautifully lit reception window
  • -Shade is essential for outdoor daytime ceremonies: position the altar so guests face away from the sun
  • -Keep guests cool with hand fans, chilled water stations, and breathable seating arrangements
  • -Floral hydration is critical in heat - work with your florist on conditioning and misting
Golden hourSummer golden hour lasts 30-60 minutes before sunset and produces the warmest, richest light of the year.

Things to consider

  • ·Book air-conditioned transport for the wedding party
  • ·Ice-cold signature drinks or a granita station keeps guests happy during cocktail hour
  • ·Confirm venue has power for fans or misting systems if outdoors all day
