Nestled in the heart of Dayton, Ohio, the historic Dayton Arcade became the enchanting backdrop for a joyous wedding celebration. This remarkable venue witnessed the transformation of the Arcade’s rotunda from a ceremony space into a reception wonderland, while guests reveled in cocktail hour below, in The Tank. The wedding’s lively color palette and creative floral design set the stage for a day filled with happiness and celebration.
Repurposed Ceremony Florals
The grandeur of the Dayton Arcade’s rotunda served as the perfect location for the ceremony. Our team of talented florists designed ceremony florals that not only complemented the venue’s grandeur but also served a dual purpose. These same florals were artfully repurposed to adorn the head table during the reception. The result was a seamless transition that carried the romantic ambiance throughout the day.
Bud Vases as Table Centerpieces
To ensure the head table’s floral arrangement stole the spotlight, the guest tables were adorned with elegant bud vases. This creative choice allowed for an asymmetrical floral masterpiece to shine behind the newlyweds, making it a focal point of the room. The vibrant blooms brought life and energy to the reception, and the use of bud vases added a touch of sophistication and charm to each guest’s table.
The Bride’s Bouquet and Bridesmaids’ Blooms
The bride’s bouquet was a true showstopper, designed to match the lively color palette chosen for the day. A large and opulent arrangement, it radiated with happiness and joy. In perfect harmony, the bridesmaids held smaller versions of the bride’s bouquet, creating a lovely cohesion in the bridal party’s floral aesthetic. The bright and joyful colors represented the love and delight of the couple on their special day.
The Dayton Arcade in Dayton, Ohio, offered the perfect setting for a wedding day filled with happiness, vibrancy, and unforgettable moments. The seamless transformation from ceremony to reception was a testament to meticulous planning and the clever repurposing of ceremony florals. The bud vase centerpieces and the stunning asymmetrical arrangement behind the head table added an extra layer of elegance to the day.
This celebration at the Dayton Arcade was a true reflection of the couple’s love and the joyous journey they embarked on together. The vibrant florals and creative design choices echoed their happiness and created memories that will be cherished forever.
