Julianna + Luke

wedding at a

Private Estate

MISSOURI

THE VISION

From the first Zoom call with Juliana, Luke, and their wedding planner, Katie, I knew their wedding was going to be something extremely special. Both the bride and groom exuded excitement and joy as we walked through the logistics and vision for their wedding. I didn’t realize just how special it would be until our site visit to their family estate in Eldon, Missouri.

Upon arrival, we were greeted at the gate and served a home-cooked meal before walking the property. Every inch of acreage was pristine, and they even had an onsite hotel for our team to stay in. White buffalo roamed the grounds just below us. We knew we were going to use a tent for the reception, and upon seeing the property, we all immediately agreed that a tidewater tent was the way to go.

Juliana had visions of hanging flowers, but with this kind of tent, there were no rigging points to hang a structure from. So, we opted for a free-standing floral arch to cover the 32-foot head table instead. Thousands of hydrangeas in shades of blue and white filled both the ceremony and reception. We mimicked that structure on the outside of the tent entrance, creating a WOW moment for guests as they entered.

It’s truly hard to put into words how amazing Haleigh and her team are!

The dedication and commitment to give my daughter the wedding of her dreams went above and beyond what I ever could have imagined! She has the ability to see what something can possibly be and actually make it happen!!!! Not only she is talented but she truly is the most humble person-it’s was a joy to work with her!

– Mother of the Bride

Going into the planning process, I wanted the florals to be the main focus and biggest part of our overall wedding design. The vision was floral elegance and Haleigh + her team created my blue and white hydrangea dreams so perfectly! They went above and beyond at designing the most stunning arrangements, arches, centerpieces, etc. We were so blessed to get to spend so many days with these girls and watch them work their floral magic!!!

– JULIANNA, The Bride

Haleigh Kenney is not only the coolest, chicest and most stunning human, she is the most trustworthy, cool-calm-and-collected, detail oriented and all around best florist I have come into contact with. As a wedding planner, I always look for vendors that I know will show up and show out. I have never had a second thought about having my clients book Haleigh and her team as their wedding florist. She goes above and beyond on every event and I cannot get enough. Haleigh Kenney is simply the best and absolutely knocked Juliana + Luke’s estate wedding out of the park. 12/10 would hire her over and over again! Kaite Mcintire, Wedding Planner
