A wedding realisation inspired by the Gatsby boho style.

Floral challenges and wedding magic
Wedding realisations are floral challenges for me and I love them for the opportunity to broaden my horizons. In this post I'll briefly introduce the story of the last one... It was magical!
At the end of June I had the opportunity to make floral decorations, much less standard and different than before. 😊 Let me start at the beginning, that is, with the ceremony venue.
A place full of history - the Linden Tree Manor in Katowice
The wedding hall - Dworek pod Lipami - is a historic former inn building located in the picturesque Giszowiec district of Katowice. I had the opportunity to visit the venue earlier, during an initial consultation on wedding decorations. I always recommend such a meeting, as it allows you to get to know each other better and clarify all your expectations.
A large, spacious room with a stage curtain, round tables and a wooden dance floor was the perfect place for unique decorations. The flowers had to be cohesive, unconventional and emphasise the character of the day. Their job was to commemorate the ceremony in a beautiful way.
From idea to concept - how the Gatsby boho arrangement was created
My idea of making a trial composition. Together, we were able to discuss the prepared composition, clarify the direction of artistic exploration a little more closely and find interesting, satisfying solutions, and trust each other more.
Idyllic grasses, drought combined with elegant white flowers and light gypsophila. These are the inspirations that were the starting point. In other words - creative, slightly romantic, elegant, but also casual, light. Just like the Gatsby boho style, in which the idea is to harmoniously combine two different worlds - a feeling of luxury and eclecticism that allows freedom, individuality and brings the possibility to experiment with different elements and combinations.
The work of a florist from behind the scenes - harmony, precision and emotion
Very impressive compositions, they are very labour-intensive due to the enormous amount of work and the accompanying time pressure. In such moments, the help of another person is indispensable. Each small element had to find its place in the floral sponge. Everything formed a spatial composition in which there was no room for coincidence. Almost every element was important, as it weighed on the harmony of the whole composition. There was no end to the adding of pieces to the jigsaw puzzle, but the final effect was impressive. And that was exactly the point:)
Flowers at a wedding are meant to enchant and emphasise the uniqueness of the event and this is exactly what happened, which I am very proud of.
Elegant white roses, fragrant peonies and towering hollyhocks combined with natural dried plants, the addition of grasses and a whole lot of tiny white gypsophila filling the space created a unique atmosphere... The final compositions I prepared were spacious, abundant in both flowers and accessories.
Placing the decorations on the tables, in tall glass vessels, turned out to be a good decision. The compositions looked unique, light and airy.
The compositions perfectly emphasised the atmosphere of the room. They merged with its space and added a new, unique quality. The unique scent of peonies wafting around provided the finishing touch.
Summary of implementation - satisfaction, gratitude and inspiration
All in all, the preparation of this arrangement was a complete success. The bride and groom were really happy, and that is the most important thing for me. Meeting their expectations brought me great satisfaction and the feeling that I had done my job properly and with heart.
😊 Thank you very much!
