Some venues carry decades of history in their walls. The Harmonie Club is one of them. Lorraine and Russ celebrated their wedding here in a day that was chic, elegant, and entirely their own.
This wedding called for precision over abundance. A clean palette of white and deep green runs through every arrangement. Therefore, each floral moment feels intentional and quietly confident.
White calla lilies anchor the entire design. They appear in the ceremony installation, the bridesmaid bouquets, the staircase pieces, and the reception arrangements. As a result, the day holds together with remarkable visual cohesion.
The ceremony installation is, simply, one of the most striking our team has created. Lush greenery, cascading vines, and hanging amaranthus spill dramatically from both sides of the ornate carved wood fireplace. White calla lilies reach outward through the greenery like something grown wild. The installation feels overtaken by nature in the most refined way possible.
The grand staircase is dressed with generous floral pieces on each step. White lilies, hydrangeas, and calla lilies nestle among lush greenery. Together, they frame the couple beautifully and guide guests naturally through the space.
The reception room fireplace received its own sculptural treatment. Calla lilies shoot upward in tall, architectural groupings above the mantel. Meanwhile, hanging greenery cascades down the stone face of the fireplace below. The chandelier light catches every petal. It is breathtaking.
Each reception table features a low, lush centerpiece. White garden roses and calla lilies sit among layered greenery in a generous, garden-like arrangement. Furthermore, the simplicity of the white palette allows the grandeur of the room to remain the true backdrop.
The bridesmaids carry simple, unbound bundles of white calla lilies. Against their sleek black gowns, the contrast is sharp and entirely elegant. It is a classic combination that never loses its power.
Day-of coordination is available as an add-on to our full floral packages. For Lorraine, this add-on proved invaluable. She came to our team just six weeks before her wedding, after her original florist dropped out. Our team stepped in seamlessly, handling both the florals and the day-of coordination from that point forward.
Regular check-ins, a venue walk-through, and clear hand-offs made the final weeks feel manageable rather than overwhelming. As Lorraine shared: “I had relief in handing things off to her.” That sense of trust is precisely what our team works to earn for every couple.
The Harmonie Club is one of New York City’s most storied private venues. Its carved wood paneling, stone fireplaces, and crystal chandeliers demand florals that respond to the architecture. Our team designs with the specific space in mind from the very first conversation.
If you are planning a wedding at The Harmonie Club or another Manhattan venue, we would love to connect. We offer full wedding floral services across New York City, with day-of coordination available as an add-on.
