We are so excited to take you through this splendidly colorful wedding filled with all the Mid-Century Modern vibes! Rebecca and Michael said "I do" and hosted their unique wedding planned by Whimsical Creative at Station 3 in downtown Houston, TX.
The wedding ceremony was as breathtaking as it was unique. The floral design team (Us!) lined the aisle with spray painted baby's breath clouds and cacti, making the space oh so lush and nature-inspired. The geometric industrial gold backdrop with colorful flowers and tropical leaves was a perfect match to the mid-century inspirations, and our happy couple to tie the knot. Combined with the venues original brick and old wood floors, these pieces made it lively, vibrant, and visually interesting.
In the outdoor courtyard, cocktail hour had all the retro vibes with fun linens and colorful furniture that matched the industrial-inspired backdrop, all provided by one of our favorite rental companies, Decor by Dulce! A chef-prepared quesadilla action station and an open bar welcomed guests, allowing for a unique and memorable experience!
After cocktail hour, guests made their way upstairs for the reception where the guests were seated on a mix of rectangle and round tables, maximizing the space and giving a lot of visual interest! The rest of the tables were adorned with thosr gorgeous baby's breath clouds repurposed from the ceremony, and ikebana arrangements accented with taper candlesticks. Clean, colorful, and modern looks dominated, making it all the more interesting. We carried on the tex-mex theme with a delicious fajita buffet provided by Papadeaux's and a delicious queso bar! Give us all the cheese!
The cake sat on top of a bright yellow linen that coordinated with a custom sunshine linen on the sweetheart table.
As the night grew, the guests made their way back downstaires to dance the night away under chandeliers of greenery and candles and indulged in a donut bar by the one and only, donut Junkie!
Rebecca and Michael truly radiate happiness and we loved every minute of working with them. When we first met, they told us they had no idea what they wanted the design to look like, just that they wanted it to be unique and feel like them. So, we asked all the right questions and came up with a design that set the tone for the a day they, and their guests, will never forget!
Love Note From Rebecca:
"Where do I even start when describing how amazing Karli, Cherish, and Melanie are? I was never someone who perfectly pictured their wedding, I just kinda knew what I did and didn’t like at other wedding. Let me tell you- I was BLOWN AWAY by what Whimsical Creative came up with. I told Karli to go crazy and work her magic and I’ve been told by everyone that ours was the most beautiful wedding they had been to. Karli is truly the “Patrick Mahomes of wedding planning” as my now husband says. In my wildest dreams I could not imagine a more perfect wedding- all of which I attribute to Karli, Cherish, and Melanie. Karli took my random ideas and turned them into something tangible- she helped me figure out a vibe, a color scheme that I loved, and really helped us figure out what our priorities were. We stated from the beginning that we wanted a party to celebrate with our friends and family and that food and drinks were a major priority. Karli immediately started brainstorming vendors and ideas- things that I definitely would not have been able to do on my own. I personally hate decision making, but Karli made it so easy and I never felt overwhelmed in the process. When it came to flowers, I just knew that I wanted lots of color and creativity- I didn’t just want roses. As soon as I met Melanie, I knew we were floral soulmates. Whimsical doing both planning and florals meant that everyone was on the same page and were working towards the same objective. Cherish was such a calming presence leading up to the big day- the poor woman was answering my last minute emails and assuring me that everything would be okay, and if not, she would handle it. On our actual wedding day, Cherish killed it! Both of my parents have said how impressed they were with the design and Cherish’s direction. Thanks to Whimsical Creative, we've received nothing but compliments, with multiple people saying that we had the best wedding they've ever been to. Words will never express the gratitude I feel- I never felt like Whimsical Events were just wedding planners, I felt like they were friends that just happened to put together amazing weddings. My suggestion is to be open-minded and see what Karli can put together- me and my husband both were amazed to see her design plan and she has an awesome eye for design. Hiring them was probably one of the best decisions we ever made and we gladly give them all the credit. They truly helped create the best day of my life, which I never would have been able to have without their ideas and guidance." - Rebecca Kelly
