Introduction
Alex and Sarah celebrated their spring wedding at The Weylin, one of Brooklyn’s most iconic venues. The soaring dome, ornate details, and golden light of the former Williamsburgh Savings Bank provided a dramatic backdrop for a joyful, flower-filled day.
The Venue: The Weylin
The Weylin is known for its architectural grandeur — from its mosaics and marble to the stunning dome that crowns the main hall. This historic space is both opulent and versatile, making it the perfect canvas for Molly Oliver Flowers’ lush, garden-inspired floral designs.
The Florals: Bold, Seasonal, and Sustainable
As a sustainable floristry studio based in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, Molly Oliver Flowers specializes in sourcing local, seasonal blooms and designing with a light footprint. For Alex and Sarah’s wedding, the team created arrangements that echoed the joy and energy of spring:
-
The Bouquet: Sarah carried a vibrant mix of ranunculus, peonies, anemones, and tulips in shades of red, coral, peach, and ivory — tied together with fresh greenery and textured accents. The bouquet balanced bold pops of color with soft seasonal layers.
-
The Ceremony: Guests surrounded the couple as they exchanged vows in-the-round, framed by abundant ground garden florals of tulips, ranunculus, delphinium, azalea, and garden roses. The palette brought warmth and brightness to the dramatic architectural setting.
-
The Reception: Tables were dressed with gold chairs, crisp linens, and low, colorful centerpieces. Each arrangement featured spring’s finest blooms — playful ranunculus, romantic garden roses, specialty tulips, and pops of blue with nigella and muscari (otherwise known as grape hyacinth) — all paired with blue taper candles for a romantic glow.
-
Details: Escort card displays and head table florals incorporated a mix of airy stems and colorful accents, making every detail cohesive and vibrant.
Style & Atmosphere
With Alex and his groomsmen in classic tuxedos and Sarah in a modern gown with sparkling detail, the couple’s timeless black-tie style was brought to life by florals that added warmth, playfulness, and seasonal character. The combination of architectural grandeur and locally grown flowers created a celebration that felt both elevated and personal.
Inspiration for Couples

Use a mix of bold tones for bouquets that stand out against classic black-tie attire.
-
Pair historic or architectural venues with playful, seasonal flowers to balance formality with joy.
