Wow Moments: Floral design at Battello

Making a big statement with flowers can be the cornerstone of the most lasting impression on your wedding day. A large floral installation like the one you see here is  such an impressive feature and unlike most of your guests have ever experienced before.

As floral designers in New Jersey, we have worked in a number of event spaces in and around the Hudson River.  Battello has a large open light filled space filled with windows to the outdoors. There is easy access to step outside for photos with your family or to simply enjoy a cocktail. Designing wedding flowers at Battello is always a fun experience and one we enjoy.

After having designed countless wedding floral concepts, this had to have been a favorite. We collaborated with Twigs Flowers + Tea wedding flowers at Battello in Jersey City, New Jersey. The couple had a specific vision to incorporate foraged florals, dried elements and fresh flowers as part of the design. We helped design a large floral chandelier over the dance floor as the main attraction. Helping to bring guests onto the dance floor as well as make a statement was the couple’s goal!

Several weeks of planning went into the design + construction of this piece. Sourcing the materials for the armature to hold the flowers, calculating the amount of florals & foliage, and creating the structure and figuring out a way to hang it on the ceiling were all part of the process.  Renting equipment to use as a platform that raised and lowered in height was needed on site. The incorporation of plants, blooming branches and moss added a volume of texture to add to the drama.
