What viewers saw on season 10 of Love Is Blind were beautiful weddings, jaw-dropping moments, and “I do’s”… or don’ts. What they didn’t see? The whirlwind happening behind the scenes to make those ceremonies camera-ready.
Houston floral designer Heather Bostick of Fashionable Florist was part of the creative team that designed the weddings featured on the show. Working on tight timelines and with cameras everywhere, every floral detail had to look incredible from every angle.
Now Heather is pulling back the curtain on what it was really like designing weddings for reality television. Scroll on to hear the behind-the-scenes story from Heather herself.
Designing Weddings for Love Is Blind
Heather Bostick: Slomique, the Creative Director for Love Is Blind, worked closely with each couple to understand their style and guide the direction of their wedding design. Before receiving finalized details from her, I had already begun conceptualizing several possible looks based on the color palettes and design trends I knew were emerging for the 2025–2026 wedding seasons. When we eventually aligned on the final concepts, it was reassuring to see that our instincts were very much in sync.
Designing for a television show is very different from designing a typical wedding. In a traditional wedding, the experience is designed primarily for the guests in the room. For Love Is Blind, we were essentially designing a set. Camera angles, lighting, and how the florals would translate on screen were always top of mind. There were cameras everywhere, and every visual element needed to read beautifully from multiple perspectives for the audience watching at home.
These weddings were filmed at White Willow Meadows near Columbus, Ohio, a venue that gave us the flexibility to transform the space repeatedly throughout filming.
With the exception of Amber and Jordan, most of the couples requested black-and-white weddings. That meant we had to find creative ways to differentiate each celebration so every couple still felt like their wedding was unique and personal.
Behind The Scenes of the Love Is Blind Weddings
HB: Angela Norman, the venue owner, brought together six floral designers from across the country to make these weddings happen. Many of us already knew each other through the floral design community and had collaborated on projects over the years.
With the exception of Amber and Jordan’s wedding, every celebration had to be completely redesigned within an extremely short timeframe.
After each ceremony was filmed, we would return to the space, complete a full teardown, and immediately begin rebuilding the environment for the next couple. In most cases, we had only about five hours to redesign the entire wedding before the next ceremony was filmed.
Aside from a few flowers that could be reused, nearly every design was rebuilt from the ground up each day so that each couple’s wedding felt unique.
The biggest challenge was the constant flip between weddings while also thinking about how the designs would read on camera and how they would be perceived by the audience watching at home.
Our team was working 12–15-hour days, moving from installation to teardown and right back into design again. Despite the pace, the collaboration between designers was incredible. Each person brought their own strengths to the table, and together we were able to create four completely different wedding environments under extraordinary time constraints.
Amber and Jordan
HB: Amber and Jordan’s wedding was the first we designed, and it came together under extraordinary circumstances. We had only one day to prep, which is a stark contrast to the nearly year-long planning timeline most weddings have.
Amber envisioned a garden-inspired ceremony, and we leaned fully into that direction with the floral selections. Her palette featured soft neutral roses, hydrangeas, and mums. One of my favorite design elements was incorporating jasmine vine, which has since become a personal favorite material to work with.
Slomique layered the design beautifully with rattan seating and sisal rugs, elements that are becoming increasingly popular in wedding design.
I had the honor of designing Amber’s personal florals, which always carries a certain level of pressure. Her bouquet featured peonies, lilac, lisianthus, and scabiosa, and was finished with flowing Silk & Willow ribbon. It turned out even better than I had imagined.
At the time filming took place, rattan purses were just beginning to trend. With the garden aesthetic, I saw an opportunity to create something a little unexpected: floral clutch purses for the bridesmaids. They were a fun design experiment and ended up being one of my favorite details from the wedding.
Jordan wore a smaller lapel design. I wanted his florals to feel bold enough to complement Amber’s bouquet without overpowering it. The scale worked perfectly for him.
Ashley and Alex
HB: Ashley and Alex’s wedding embraced a modern black-and-white palette with no greenery.
Slomique collaborated with Serendipity Designs for the draping, which created a striking visual foundation for the ceremony space. Draping is becoming increasingly prominent in weddings, and this installation showed a modern approach compared to the more traditional styles many couples are used to seeing.
The black velvet backdrop provided the perfect contrast for the oversized tulle flower sculpture created by Grace K Designs. Large-scale floral elements are beginning to move into mainstream weddings, and this installation was a great example of how dramatic they can be.
On either side of the couple were modern floral installations composed of white hydrangeas and anemones. We used and reused close to 200 hydrangeas and what felt like hundreds of anemones to create the stage design.
Florists often hear comments about the cost of flowers, but a large part of that investment is labor. For this wedding, we spent hours carefully removing the green necks from each anemone so there would be absolutely no greenery visible within the design.
Ashley carried a modern bouquet of anemones and roses finished with black silk ribbon from Silk & Willow.
Christine and Vic
HB: Christine and Vic’s wedding was truly outside the box and one of the most visually striking designs of the entire series. Unfortunately, the camera did not fully capture the impact of the space.
Standing inside the room felt like stepping into a luxury department store window display at Selfridges in London or Bergdorf Goodman in New York. It had that same theatrical quality.
Once again, the draping and oversized paper flowers created by Serendipity Designs and Grace K Designs served as the hero design moments. Paper flowers are becoming increasingly popular, but they require a designer who understands scale and placement. When done incorrectly, they can feel out of place, but when done well, they create a dramatic focal point and an incredible photo opportunity.
Behind Christine, we featured monobotanical groupings of anthurium and amaranthus, two florals that are rapidly gaining popularity in modern wedding design.
When our flower shipment arrived for this wedding, we discovered an unexpected surprise: an extraordinary batch of Italian Denalii anthurium along with pink and white amaranthus. When florists receive flowers that differ from what was originally planned, we pivot and adapt. That creative pivot ultimately elevated the design even further.
Christine’s bouquet included pearlized, painted anthuriums created by Haus of Stems. If you are familiar with my work, you will notice I often incorporate bold color or painted anthuriums, and these add a layer of artistic detail rarely seen in bridal bouquets.
The reception featured a dramatic fireplace installation that cascaded from the top of the outdoor fireplace all the way to the ground. The florals were color-blocked from pink to green to white. It was an unforgettable moment within the space.
Emma and Mike
HB: Emma and Mike’s wedding leaned into the power of restraint.
Once again, draping played a major role in the design, creating a simple but impactful backdrop.
We had a bit of creative freedom with this design, and knowing that calla lilies are returning in a big way, I wanted to use them in an unexpected way. Draping calla lilies down the fabric installation created a design moment that felt both modern and timeless.
Emma also loved lilies, so the ceremony aisle and perimeter of the stage were lined with them.
As a designer, I will say lilies can be challenging to use for weddings because of their strong fragrance and the fact that many people are allergic to them. However, visually, they were perfect for this concept.
Heather’s Takeaway From Love Is Blind
HB: One of the most valuable lessons came from Slomique: every wedding needs a moment.
A moment does not mean filling a space with flowers. It means creating one breathtaking focal point that defines the design of the room.
That moment could come from florals, but it can also come from lighting, candles, or draping. Candles alone can completely transform the atmosphere of a space and bring warmth into a room.
Strategic floral placement can also create these moments. Whether it is a dramatic ceremony installation or a reception feature guests want to photograph, the goal is always to create something memorable.
My personal design philosophy is simple. When guests walk into the room, they should gasp.
If a budget limits how much transformation is possible within a venue, prioritize the elements that matter most. Choose a beautiful setting, create one strong design moment, and never underestimate the impact of an incredible bridal bouquet.
Most importantly, find a designer who understands how to design a space, not just fill it with flowers. When couples trust their designer’s creative direction, the results are always stronger.
Bringing it all Together
While reality television moves at a much faster pace than traditional wedding planning, the artistry behind the florals remains the same. Heather Bostick of Fashionable Florist brought creativity, precision, and a designer’s eye to every ceremony featured on season 10 of Love Is Blind, proving that great wedding design always begins with one unforgettable moment.
