There’s nothing quite like a wedding at The Bohlin Newport RI. The harbor views, the sailing-inspired architecture, and the gentle coastal breeze create an atmosphere that welcomes elegance. For this celebration, we had the joy of working with a luxury color wedding florist Newport RI who specializes in stunning schemes and bold, artistic statement florals—the kind that stop guests in their tracks and instantly set the tone for an unforgettable day.

A Symphony of Spring Color

For this vibrant ceremony installation, we used an intentional balance of cool and warm tones—honoring nature’s palette while giving the design richness and life. These florals weren’t just decorations; they created a mood. A grand, celebratory feeling that carried through the entire wedding.

The Cool Palette: Soft Blues, Lavenders & Mauves

These blooms created the foundation for the cooler, sculptural elements:

  • Delphinium in shades of sky blue and deep indigo
    Their tall, elegant lines gave the installation height and graceful movement.

  • Allium in lilac and muted plum
    These globe-shaped blooms added texture and a striking architectural quality.

  • Stock and sweet peas in soft mauve
    Their delicate petals softened the structure, adding romance and scent.

Together, these cool-toned florals created depth, grounding the design with dimension and softness.


The Warm Palette: Coral, Peach & Vibrant Citrus

The second half of the design embraced joyful, sunlit hues:

  • Coral and peach peonies
    Lush, romantic, and eye-catching—these served as the focal blooms.

  • Golden yellow poppies
    Their whimsical shape brought movement and a touch of playfulness.

  • Blushing foxglove and snapdragon
    These blooms introduced height and delicate texture.

  • Garden roses in warm, citrusy tones
    Classic wedding beauty with a fresh, modern twist.

This palette brought energy and sunshine into the space—an instant mood-booster for guests the moment they arrived.

A Luxury Floral Installation with Purpose

At The Bohlin Newport RI, the ceremony structure sits naturally against the backdrop of the water, so our goal was to enhance—not compete with—the scenery.

Using layered color stories allowed the florals to feel:

  • Organic to the coastal surroundings

  • Sculptural against the open sky

  • Textural for an elevated, luxury feel

  • Balanced, even with bold color choices

The result was a garden-inspired installation that felt like it had naturally grown into place.
