Floral inspiration
Greer describes the scene as an 'enchanted garden'
Greer described the scene as an "enchanted garden," drawing inspiration from Swift's songs. The display showcased willow, ivy, and roses, creating a symbolic, fairytale-inspired atmosphere. The garden was adorned with nearly 363kg of greenery, 1,200 roses, and more than 1,000 additional blooms. Two grand concrete planters were draped in limelight hydrangea, secret garden roses, delphinium, and pink surprise lilies.
Centerpiece
Centerpiece served as a showstopper!
A 20-foot domed arboretum, adorned with moss, smilax vines, garden roses, lilies, anemones, and woven candles stood as the centerpiece of the setting. Greer estimates that the floral arrangements in each urn likely cost between $1K and $3K. The ground installation alone would likely cost around $4K to $5K!
Proposal details
