As the wedding season approaches, Flower Circus and Max Hurtaud have created something special! Instead of just showing beautiful bouquets and arrangements, they decided to decorate five different wedding table designs during an online show. We know Max as a talented florist designer with a keen eye for detail, so we were excited about what he would create.

This excitement grew when Max shared his ideas. With a fantastic selection of flowers from Wedding Table Decorations with Max Hurtaudsuppliers like Arthur’s, Marginpar, Lugt Lisianthus, LoveforLilies, Kwekerij de Opstal, Beyond Chrysant, and Kunis Flowers & Bulbs, we began preparations early Friday morning.

Max designed each of the five tables with different color themes and styles:

Soft Green and Deelicate White
Natural Elements in Peach Pink & Orange
Garden-Style with Gold
Classical Black & White
Extravagance in Red, Purple & Pink

Design 1 - Soft Green and Delicate White

The show began with a natural-style table featuring white flowers. The glass vases looked beautiful with the glass plates and glasses. Max designed the arrangement to allow guests to enjoy the flowers while still being able to see and talk to each other.

Design 2 - Natural Elements in Peach Pink & Orange

For the second table, Max created a wave structure using chicken wire, covered with moss for a natural look. To keep the structure stable, he used metal wire and pins. He demonstrated a clever trick with Anthurium Licosa to make it follow the wave lines. Max held the stem in his neck and quickly moved it side to side. This friction made the stem easier to shape as he desired.

Tall anthurium flowers, specifically 'Licosa' with their distinctive pink and green spathes, are artfully arranged along the moss base, some with their stems wrapped in natural twine. Additional delicate pink and green flowers and slender branches with small berries or buds peek out from the arrangement. Soft orange taper candles are interspersed throughout the centerpiece, casting a warm glow. The table is set with natural-toned plates, wooden-handled cutlery, and elegant glassware, creating an earthy yet sophisticated aesthetic.

During the show, Max shared his experience working with the teams of Bill Schaffer and Wilkinson Rhodes on a wedding. It was exciting to be part of such a talented group, working with a large number of flowers. See this amazing work yourself at Max's Instagram account.

Design 3 - Garden-Style with Gold

For the garden-style table with gold accents, Max used the OSHUN Pouch to hold the flowers. This pouch is great for wedding decorations because it is 100% biodegradable and does not leak water. This feature makes it perfect for arrangements on arches or high displays.

Multiple large, overflowing bouquets burst with a rich variety of colorful flowers including deep red Lisianthus Arosa Red, soft apricot Lisianthus Alissa Light Apricot, delicate pink Rosa spray Mimi Eden, charming pink Rosa spray Nynke, spiky Eryngium, feathery Astilbe, tall blue Delphinium, exotic red Gloriosa, climbing Clematis, spherical Craspedia, and architectural Tallinum Long John. These lush floral displays are set in ornate gold vases, interspersed with slender gold candle holders featuring an array of pink, peach, and gold taper candles. The entire arrangement rests on a dark green base, contrasting with the white tablecloth and elegant place settings with dark green napkins and gold accents, creating a grand and abundant wedding design.

Design 4 - Classic Black & White

The fourth table was the Black and White design. Here, Max kept the arrangement low, using heart-shaped floral foam to create lines and placing vases among them. He combined big white double Roselily lilies with smaller white flowers like Gypsophila and Phlox, along with white spray roses. The dark Scabiosa flowers added a beautiful contrast to the arrangement. A nice touch was the black-painted lotus pods used as candle holders and name tags.

The centerpieces consist of elegant white floral arrangements in clear glass vases and darker, possibly black, decorative elements. Prominent white flowers include full Lilium Roselily White, delicate Chrysanthemum Baltica, charming Rosa spray White Lady, airy Phlox White, and wispy Gypsophila, accented by dark, button-like Scabiosa. Tall white taper candles of varying heights are interspersed throughout the display. The table is set with crisp white linens, sleek black plates, and black cutlery, creating a chic and timeless aesthetic.

Design 5 - Extravagance in Red, Purple & Pink

The final table was a stunning display of red, purple, and pink flowers. Max created both low arrangements on the table and two large arrangements on vases. This design allowed guests to see each other while still having impressive, tall flowers. The arrangement included double Roselilies, dark pink peonies from Kunis Flowers & Bulbs, and Anthurium Rambla. Max balanced these with other flowers like spray roses, Lisianthus, and Astilbe.

A lush and dramatic wedding table design dominated by rich pink and fuchsia hues. Two grand, elevated centerpieces feature abundant arrangements of Lilium Roselily, bold Peaonia Kansas, charming Rosa spray Pink Fame, delicate Lisianthus Alissa Pink, spiky Eryngium, exotic Jatropha, and feathery Astilbe. These large bouquets are set atop tall, clear cylindrical pedestals. Along the table, a continuous runner of smaller, equally vibrant floral arrangements mirrors the colors and textures of the main centerpieces, creating a cohesive and opulent look. Pink taper candles of varying heights add a warm glow. The table is draped with a textured pink tablecloth and set with white plates, silver cutlery, and elegant glassware, creating a luxurious and romantic atmosphere.
