The design was reception-focused, starting with a reception tablescape featuring rental pieces from All Star Rentals and hot-pink linens from Windy City Linen. 

Flowers for Dreams got creative and innovative with the florals, using a variety of blooms, greenery, and painted elements that felt warm, trendy, and a little tropical. Overall, blooms were vibrant, from hot pink, reds, and blushes in the bouquet, to orange, blue, and yellow accents in smaller pieces. Prominent flowers included anthuriums, dahlias, carnations, pincushion proteas, orchids, palm fronts, and greenery.
