Danielle and Winston's Romantic and Dreamy Day

March 29, 2022 Lana Faulkner

Inspired by the Italian Coast, Danielle and Winston’s wedding style reflected the natural, rich beauty of the private home and landscape. The stunning outdoor affair was embellished with gorgeous florals, a neutral palled using ivory, sand tones, pops of blush, and a halo floral chandelier created a soft and romantic setting.

Events at residential houses are always so unique and give the opportunity for creative designs and decor. In preparation, there are many things to consider for the couple’s vision such as - logistics, the layout, entertainment, rental items including tents, portable restrooms, generators, lighting elements, tables, chairs, seating vignettes, and of course, florals!

With every aspect custom, we work along side vendors closely to ensure that everything goes as planned. At this home in particular, recent rain created soft terrain for a section of the tables. As event industry problem solvers, we were able to adjust the tables and placed blocks under the legs to avoid the tables from becoming uneven. These last minute changes can be critical to carry through a seamless day and execute the vendors hard work accordingly.

Danielle and Winston’s wedding also features the debut of our new custom built floral chandelier - a large circular halo designed with wisteria, greenery, pops of baby breath and orchids. We love creating hanging statement pieces. Hanging florals and greenery add an elevated beauty to the space, and are guaranteed to make a stunning impression!

Danielle carried a cascading bridal bouquet using all florals and no greenery within a neutral pallet, featuring a base of baby breath with pops of phalaenopsis orchids and roses, while her sister and Maid of Honor carried a cascading bouquet entirely of baby breath.

At All Saints Episcopal Church, the ceremony aisle was lined with beautiful garden designed florals that were repurposed for the reception along the dance floor. We always suggest multi-purpose ideas for the florals to ensure you enjoy them throughout the entire day!

Following the ceremony, Danielle and Winston were whisked away in their stylish carriage - a vintage Rolls-Royce.

The magic continued at the Reception at the family’s private home. Cascading baby breath and carefully stylized accents adorned the families home throughout. Baby breath can be used as filler flowers in centerpieces to large, dramatic statement pieces. The flower adds texture to designs while keeping a light, airy look.

Kelley and John's Perfect Florida Wedding

March 1, 2022 Lana Faulkner

Kelley and John’s wedding day took place at the beautiful Ritz Carlton with an outdoor ceremony to include sunny weather, strong winds, and a large floral structure at the altar.

Florida is associated with the perfect weather, therefore, ideal for a beautiful outdoor wedding with picture-perfect scenery at no additional cost. Often our clients prefer to have outdoor weddings. We play our role to create the couple’s vision into a reality, but must prepare for weather changes. It is a challenging factor to consider as there is no way to predict this when planning your wedding. We suggest having a back-up plan to an outdoor wedding, as Florida’s “picture-perfect” weather can be wildly inconsistent. Regardless, we commit to the couple’s wishes and will do everything we can in effort to ensure the day goes smoothly and as beautifully as the couple imagines.

Kelley and John’s wedding shares an example how weather can lead to a change of plans. Faced with strong gusts of wind and the fear of knocking over the large floral structure, Lana stood behind the infinity circle to keep it from blowing over throughout the ceremony, (luckily - the design of flowers was wide enough to hide Lana, but if you look closely you can see the edge of her black shirt standing on the left side of the circle!) ensuring this couple would have the beautiful outdoor wedding of their dreams. Thanks to Lana’s dedication and passion for her clients - the day was as seamless as they had planned.

Kelley carried a handtied Bridal Bouquet using mixes of white, ivory, and champagne florals. Flowers included garden roses, quicksand roses, spray roses, and ranunculus, with italian ruscus and eucalyptus greenery, combined in a dimensional floral design with a ribbon wrap on the stems.

The ceremony aisle was lined with four full garden floral arrangements designed with a mix of white and champagne flowers, leading the way to the beautiful infinity arch placed at the altar. The 7x7 circle structure was adorned with gorgeous floral and foliages in a loose organic design all around circle.

Similar to the problem with the structure, the strong winds kept blowing over the ceremony aisle pedestals that the large aisle arrangements were placed on. This was an area we had to make a concession and decided to place the flowers on the ground, removing the pedestals and changing the desired look we had planned.

The ballroom reception incorporated tall, abundant overflowing garden arrangements paired with low compote centerpieces throughout the space and a combination of clear glass and gold accents creating a luxe look.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Hutchinson!

2021: A Year Review

January 24, 2022 Lana Faulkner

2021 is a special year for the company, marking our 40 year anniversary in business. We are so grateful for the support and love from the Central Florida area and continue to challenge ourselves with new designs and floral artistry.

We comprised a collection to share a few special moments from 2021 to celebrate our many reasons to be thankful this year to include: collaboration with talented vendors, our wonderful clients, and the opportunity of creating new custom structures.

Our one-of-a-kind wisteria chandelier is undoubtedly a Fairbanks Florist’s statement piece. In 2021 we made the debut of many other grand hanging floral installments among several other custom structures - designed for each individual vision. It is so fulfilling and exciting to create something so special and specific for our clients!

To our friends, our support team, and our clients - we thank you!

Maddie and David’s Fun and Fabulous Love

October 1, 2021 Lana Faulkner

Maddie and David’s wedding was illuminated with the couple’s effervescent love and laughter, perfectly curated to their fun and heartfelt relationship. Favorite features include the bride’s sparkly boots signed by her bridesmaids, the couple’s private exchange of gifts before the ceremony, dozens of the family’s chinoiserie vases, and a perfect sunset moment.

Maddie’s shoes made a big statement - a unique way to show off her personality, while providing sentimental support!

A day full of emotion counting down to see one another offers a special opportunity to privately share a thoughtful memento. Love letters and gifts can be sweet and romantic, or silly and light hearted to calm each other’s nerves.

Roses and smilax greenery adorned the pergola creating this gorgeous back drop at The Cypress Grove Estate House. As the ceremony began, the couple was greeted by sunshine and bright florals at the aisle entrance.

The reception space was filled with beautiful blooms in various chinoiserie vessels. Each guest table had different vases and flower combinations. A structured garden floral design added dimension and texture using a wide variety of flowers and greenery to include: roses, tulips, anemones, dark blue delphinium, mini green hydrangeas, Queen Anne’s lace, stock, scabiosa, hellebores, hyacinth, and iris. An assortment of crystal candlesticks and candleholders were added to the tables and surrounding area for elevated style.

Candles and decor are a great way to compliment the floral arrangements. At Fairbanks Florist, we offer a wide selection of gorgeous decor available to rent to achieve your wedding “look”.

We love Maddie’s repurposed bridal bouquet used in the rental furniture to create this lovely cake area!

Cheers to Mr. and Mrs. Hiller and their lively love!

As neighbors and friends, we send a special thank you to Maddie and the Conklin family for the opportunity to play a role in such a meaningful and memorable celebration.

Roses and Elegance: Jennifer and Andrew’s Classic Garden Wedding

August 31, 2021 Lana Faulkner

Jennifer and Andrew’s wedding had a regal, yet traditional theme. Classic elegance! The floral designs were structured for a sculpted garden feeling with texture and dimension between the flowers. This style was especially symbolic of their love story - as their engagement began with a proposal taking place by a beautiful fountain in the middle of a rose garden!

It warms our hearts to include these meaningful details, making each wedding unique and individual to the couple. Jennifer and Andrew’s wedding had several important sentiments including: Jennifer’s Grandmother’s dress lace wrapped around her bouquet, the cake knife from Jennifer’s parent’s wedding, and the Reception’s foyer display of family photos.

The day began at the extravagant St. George Orthodox Church where the couple shared a traditional service and the promise of marriage. Jennifer carried a structured, round bouquet wrapped in her Grandmother’s lace, using a mix of white and light pink roses, white ranunculus, with pops of greenery.

Officially Mr. and Mrs. Giarard, the celebration continued at The Country Club of Orlando. The reception space was adorned with beautiful decor including speciality linens and an assortment of candle embellishments. A garden display on the fireplace mantel and large floral arrangement with family photos in the entry way greeted guests as the entered. Round guest tables consisted of a mixture of tall floral arrangements paired with low compote floral arrangements. The beautiful garden florals used classic and spray roses, hydrangea, among mixed foliages creating airy dimension and texture.

As they continue their journey, Jennifer and Andrew start their lives together in a new city with new jobs, where they’re surely destined to find a beautiful rose garden to reminisce on their special love.

Boho Chic Styled Shoot

Alfond Inn Couture Garden Wedding

May 12, 2021 Lana Faulkner

Couture Garden Alfond Inn Wedding - Winter Park, FL - October 3, 2020

Featuring Taylor Callahan & Jake Tellier

Taylor and Jake’s Alfond Inn wedding was equal parts sophisticated and stylish. This lovely couple chose to include their fur baby Allie in their ceremony, making the Alfond Inn the perfect venue choice, as it is dog friendly. We had a wonderful time helping bring Taylor’s exquisite floral vision to life!

Excitement and joy filled the air and the soon-to-be newlyweds readied for their big day. The bride’s parents were absolutely beaming with pride as they posed for photos with their beautiful daughter.

The couple shared a darling first look in the garden before the ceremony. Taylor carried an unstructured couture garden bouquet made up of peonies, roses, veronica and ranunculus mixed with soft and vining foliage. The bouquet paired marvelously with her intricate lace sweetheart style gown.

Of course, we couldn’t forget to doll up this sweet fur baby. Lana custom designed a floral embellishment for Taylor and Jake’s dog Allie that perfectly matched Taylor’s bridal bouquet.

They say rain on your wedding day is good luck, and Taylor and Jake were blessed indeed! When the rain moved in, we were able to bring a touch of the outdoors inside with our raised garden structure. Custom built by Art, and design inspired by Planner Lisa Stoner just for Taylor and Jake’s wedding, our elevated meadow structure allowed us to create a field of flowers. We used over 2,000 carnations for Taylor’s flower field which was utilized in both their ceremony & reception spaces.

The couple exchanged vows in the dazzling rotunda, as light poured in through the extensive windows and glass dome ceiling.

The reception space was absolutely breathtaking - incorporating a dazzling mixture of greenery, gold accents, custom drapery and extraordinary florals.

We placed our tall gold wall screen, custom designed by Art, behind the bar. Special family photos, greenery vines, candles, and spots of flowers added depth and warmth to the design, and allowing the couple to showcase important family memorabilia.

When many think of wedding florals, they think merely of bouquets and centerpieces. In reality there are dozens of ways to incorporate floral design to create a truly customized ambiance for your event. Large statement pieces can be a great design addition. Palm trees, among many other large plants, can be provided through a Fairbanks Florist vendor. We also repurposed the raised carnation beds at the reception for the perfect sweetheart table backdrop.

We adore monogramed and customized dance floor wraps, which can create personalized statements unique to your event. The newlyweds shared their first dance on a beautiful custom dance floor which read, “Life is only as good as they people you get to share it with.” The statement perfectly suited their intimate wedding, full of love and adoration for their friends, family and of course each other.

Classic Casa Feliz Celebration

April 6, 2021 Lana Faulkner

Classic Casa Feliz Wedding Celebration - Winter Park, FL - November 7, 2020

Featuring Allie Harvard & Corbin Harris

Allie & Corbin’s November wedding was held at the magnificent Spanish style historic museum, Casa Feliz. “Casa Feliz'' translates to “Happy House,” and this couple’s wedding encompassed just that. Their whimsical wedding was filled with joy and love at every moment.

The bride’s gown was truly one of a kind! She found the dress in bright red at Bridal Gallery of Orlando. The dress was custom designed for her in white. It was so very “Allie” and for added personality: sparkly Kate Spade tennis shoes!

One of my favorite moments of the entire wedding was the precious first look shared by Allie & her father. This heartfelt reunion was full of laughter, tears, and an abundance of love.

So often when planning a wedding, big decision making is left to the bride. If the brides happy, the groom’s happy. With Allie and Corbin, the groom had 2 requests: first - a steak for dinner, and second - to cover the colored railing on the balcony. Lana made this request effortless by draping smilax - covering the railing while creating a beautiful ceremony backdrop.

Casa Feliz Winter Park Wedding Ceremony1.jpg

Casa Feliz Winter Park Wedding ceremony2.jpg

You’ve heard the old adage - “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” While blue flowers are a unique wedding request, they just so happened to be the bride’s favorite color! We incorporated blue tones into the décor and achieved her floral style by adding light blue tweedia, dark navy centered anemones, and cool toned greenery. The outcome was both stunning and classy!

The floral chandelier was the show stopper of the reception. During the bride & groom portraits, the bride stopped everyone to admire it!

The beautiful couple was all smiles as the celebration continued well into the night. Guests enjoyed the traditional first dance, father/daughter dance, dinner, dancing, and of course - cake!

The love Allie & Corbin have for one another was so evident in all of their interactions. We know they will build their very own Casa Feliz (happy home) as newlyweds!
