When life happens, twice

From the wedding to the baptism

Some families let us in once in their lives. And some families call us back.

Recently we had the privilege of working with the same family for two of the most important moments in their story. First the wedding. Not long after, their son’s baptism.

Adapting what Briar does to each moment is always a pleasure. But realising that we can be part of a journey like this, a family being built, is something else. It means being present in every photograph and every record of a path that carries on far beyond these two days.

The wedding

We created the bridal bouquet and the bridesmaids’ bouquets, both in harmony with their idea for that day. The large floral pieces at the couple’s entrance marked the moment when everything begins. And all the tables with nuances sharing bits of their history.

The baptism

Shortly after, we came back with a different scale and a different intention. The flowers surrounded the baptism and welcomed the couple’s son to his first big family moment.

The weight of the second event

It is never the same as the first. When an event goes well, the next one brings a very strong sense of responsibility. The family already knows what to expect from us, and the challenge becomes not to disappoint and to surprise them once again. It was with that commitment that we prepared every detail.

Atelier

Both events were designed through Briar’s most personalised service, the Atelier. Here, every piece is created from scratch for the family, the space and the moment. For this story told in two chapters (so far), it was the right service.

When life happens

At Briar we don’t do floral decoration. We get the chance to fit a piece into the puzzle of life and to be there, simply, when life happens. We will be part of every photograph, memory along the way, and that is what moves us.

Thank you to this family for letting us be part of their story. Twice.

Planning a moment like this?

We would love to be part of it.
