An August Wedding at Happy Hollow

We are fortunate at Bouquet to be involved in many weddings throughout the year. We believe we shine at helping brides, grooms and families create the weddings of their dreams. Sometimes brides come to us individually, and often we get involved through various Omaha event-planning organizations like 402 Events. 

402 Events called on Bouquet more than a year ago to help with an August 2023 wedding to be held at Happy Hollow Country Club. Although relatively intimate with 150 guests, the bride’s vision for the evening was grand. Her directive for florals was “green and white.” She wanted lush and elegant. This meant we were able to collaborate with the staff at 402 Events to create a vision for the bride, who was open to ideas. 

The wedding ceremony was held outside of Happy Hollow Club near the front entrance. There are lovely gardens and a built-in path perfect for a summer gathering. 402 Events erected a massive clear tent for the evening affair. Clear acrylic chairs, white drapes and lots of lattice helped set a tone that only highlighted the impact of the flowers.

Our Bouquet staff used more than 700 stems to create this stunning archway at the entrance of the tent. Florals included Hydrangeas, Roses, Stock, Lisianthus, Agapanthus and greens including Eucalyptus, Italian Ruscus and Pittosporum. 

Inside guests were greeted by arrangements of the same flower varieties that lined the aisle. Above the platform where the bride and groom were married was a custom floral “chandelier” made of Smilax, Stock and Roses. It served as a showpiece during the ceremony and a centerpiece for the tent during the dance portion of the wedding. 

The right side of the tent was covered in lattice where the Bouquet team wove Italian Ruscus to create a trellis design. The lattice wall was an elegant addition to the tent and served as a backdrop for the band. 

We always try to include a variety of specialty flowers in the bridal bouquet. This bride wanted her personal bouquet to be simple, lush and elegant with many white flowers. We used garden roses, white Dahlias and white Cosmos to complement the other florals but give it a unique touch.

This was one of Bouquet’s biggest events of the year, and we couldn’t have done it without the help of so many incredible vendors including:
