Unlikely combinations of colors and textures are what we LIVE for here at Butterfly! When Shirin and Arsalan wanted to bring in black to a rustic theme at their Saddlerock Ranch wedding, we were 100% in. We made the black element work by keeping the rest of the color palette simple: White with greenery. Greenery bought in the rustic texture, and white gave the black a clean-cut, pristine counterpoint. We wound ruscus and white flowers around black arches on their ceremony aisle, and kept the greenery at a minimum for their all-white centerpieces in the reception. This monochromatic approach at the reception let the rustic wood of their tables really shine. The black napkins and chairs at the reception tables... Read More

During the COVID lockdown, many churches were closed for health and safety reasons. Priscilla and Will wanted to bring the church outside for their wedding – and we were thrilled to help set the scene! The couple rented church pews for ceremony seating (courtesy of Found Rentals) and we created a beautiful backdrop consisting of wood pieces echoing the stained glass windows of a traditional church. Tons of greenery and white flowers accented the arches. We also added an arch at the end of the aisle featuring actual doors – just like the entrance of a church. The reception space was a beautiful tent with swagging and more greenery. A black and white scheme reflected in chameleon chairs, linens, and... Read More

Calamigos Ranch offers a whimsical, pastoral venue for weddings. Jessika and Adrian married among the dreamy trees and hanging lights in the Pavilion ceremony space; then, guests partied among nearby carnival rides and under Calamigos’ elegant tent. Our round ceremony structure, decorated with white roses, served as a dramatic backdrop for the couple. The natural mix of white flowers and greenery continued through the cocktail hour and reception space. We dressed the fireplace mantel with lots of gorgeous flowers, and moved the ceremony backdrop to the reception space to add visual impact to the sweetheart table.

Los Angeles is known for its unique wedding venues, and Stone Mountain provides yet another one-of-a-kind space to celebrate. Tucked in the mountains near Malibu, this intimate space offers stunning views and a beautiful round stone helipad. Stone Mountain is perfect for smaller events, and often requires a ‘flip’ of the space from ceremony to reception, but Anna and Alexander wanted to have separate ceremony and reception spaces, so they covered the pool on property. We created a grand pink and ivory ceremony arch against crisp white drapery for a high-impact look with modern touches. The reception space took place on the round stone helipad, with sail-like drapery providing shade for guests. Tall centerpieces matching the ceremony florals carried through... Read More

The lush lawn at the Four Seasons Westlake set the scene for Alla and Alano’s summery wedding. Cream and ivory flowers with pops of lavender and greenery created a light yet luxurious look to the wedding. For the ceremony, we built a freestanding circular arch, echoing the symbol of the wedding ring for a poetic touch. The couple provided guests with tossing petals on an antique cart, which we dressed with more flowers and greenery; and we flanked the aisle with lush wildflowers. For the outdoor reception we designed both tall and low centerpieces with a mix of roses, tulips, and orchids. The tall pieces consisted of full arrangements of flowers, and modern candleholders dressed with phaelenopsis orchids. The final... Read More

Every couple wants their guests to feel at home at their wedding – a space with character. For their Hummingbird Nest Ranch wedding, Karen and Parham worked with us to create a warm, lovely feel with generously flowing greenery, pops of white flowers, and rustic wood touches from A Rental Connection. From the round wood bar to our charming lanterns, to the exquisite chuppah with rows of roses wrapping its posts, the feel was custom, personal, and welcoming. We lined each table with full floral centerpieces continuing the greenery and rose motif; and we decorated the gates leading to the Villa space’s ceremony area with more florals. Another unique touch: Our carved wood pillar holders. They have an antique feel... Read More

A grand staircase. A chuppah fringed with wind-catching flowers. A manicured lawn with a stunning view. Private homes, like the estate where Natalie and Alen wed, offer unique opportunities to our creative team. The property featured wide expanses of lawn and landscaping, allowing us to build a grand chuppah with lengths of orchids to freely move with the breeze. Inside the property, the foyer staircase became the perfect first-look location; we lined the rail with a luxurious layer of white flowers, including roses and orchids. A generous urn piece of white roses stood directly under the house’s stunning chandelier for a picture-perfect start to the bride and groom’s big day. We accented the reception lawn, dressed with gold and white... Read More

Hidden away in a private home, Shai and Candice wed surrounded by family and friends for a springtime wedding reminiscent of a secret English garden. Our lush arches and setpieces gave the event a quietly elegant feel; weaving in roses, various greenery, and even lemons imbued our design with an organic, natural look – as if each centerpiece was gathered from the backyard, yet arranged with sense of refinement. The ceremony featured a large arch and aisle pieces; the eclectic, vintage-style white chairs added texture and romance to the setup. Our core design color of yellow – butter yellow, lemon yellow, and everything in between – lilghtened up the thick greenery. And – doves! We accented these beautiful birds’ cage... Read More

Mother nature gives us so many hues to play with, and our clients Sanam and Yoav wanted a bold play of colors for their big day. Their wedding took place at a private home, giving us even more freedom to design a one-of-a-kind wedding. The ceremony and reception were located in the same area to conserve space; we needed a stunning chuppah to serve as a focal point, and designed a gorgeous arch with thick greenery and coral, peach, and pink roses. A rustic aesthetic influenced the rest of the centerpieces, with sprays of greenery and foliage. Roses, hydrangea, lisianthus, even daisies and touches of fruit made appearances in an array of shades from bright yellow to red to blue. ... Read More

The one-of-a-kind Malibu Rocky Oaks Estate Vineyard boasts a helipad with breathtaking views overlooking the hills of Malibu. With nothing but fresh air surrounding you and neighboring wineries and picturesque fields below, the venue gives you an on top of the world feeling. What a magical place for Jane and Baldomero to say “I Do.” The ceremony was staged with a beautiful Chuppah, draped with ivory chiffon and trimmed with a rich floral runner of ivory roses and hydrangea. Subtle touches of soft blush roses were blended into the design. Luscious ceremony urns sat on either side of the aisle marking the entrance to the area elegantly. The reception was held basically a staircase away under the pergola next to the pool.... Read More
