Modern spring wedding inspiration honouring the Magnolia bloom

When Dallas wedding photographer ALLEN TSAI had the chance to collaborate with Seattle wedding planner CALLISTA & CO. and Amy from GATHER DESIGN COMPANY, they wanted to create a contemporary design with a strong sense of seasonality. With spring trees blooming all over the Seattle landscape at the time, they were drawn to the idea of using a single type of blooming branch. Once they had settle on the Magnolia the other elements of our editorial came together seamlessly. GREY & CAKE crafted an incredible custom invitation suite, and the Wilder gown from ALEXANDRA GRECCO feels as if it were custom made for the design. 

Seattle wedding florist GATHER DESIGN COMPANY tells us more about the floral design process: "When Callista sent me her idea of using a single type of blooming branch for the design inspiration, I jumped at the idea! Magnolia are large, stately blooms, but they also carry with them an air of elegance and refinement. When used alone, their beautiful shape and subtle colour variations shine. To feature magnolias at their best, we designed both low and taller centerpieces, some with open flowers and some with buds. The bridal bouquet echoed this design and was finished with a soft silk ribbon bow."
