Ivory & Eve is a “venue-proof” palette—clean whites + greenery that never clashes with décor and always feels bridal. What you can make depends on the package size you choose, but these are the most common (and realistic) ways customers use this collection.
Personal Flowers (Wearables + Bouquets)
- Bridal bouquet: Clean, timeless focal bouquet with premium whites and an editorial finish.
- Bridesmaid bouquets: Perfect matching minis for a polished bridal party.
- Boutonnieres: Minimal, refined pieces that match suits/tuxes seamlessly.
- Corsages: Family florals that look classic, modern, and photo-ready.
- Optional extras (size-dependent): toss bouquet, flower-girl petals (using loose blooms), or a simple floral hair accent.
Ceremony + Reception Styling
- Centerpieces: Crisp, elegant table florals that never compete with décor.
- Ceremony urns / entrance pieces: Beautiful for altar/entrance urns with a luxury white aesthetic.
- Aisle markers: Small clusters or bud-vase groupings for a clean, elevated aisle moment.
- Welcome table / bar arrangements: Easy add-ons that complete the wedding look.
- Optional extras (size-dependent): cake meadow flowers, escort-card table bud vases, photo-moment accents, restroom mini arrangements.
How to Think About Your Package Choice
- The Elopement (2–10 guests): Best for a statement bridal bouquet + boutonniere + one reception centerpiece.
- The Intimate (10–30 guests): Adds bridesmaids + more personals and centerpieces for a cohesive small ceremony + reception.
- The Classic (50–80 guests): Balanced coverage for personals + centerpieces, plus ceremony focal moments (like urns) for a fully planned look.
- The Grand (80–150 guests): Great when you want whites + greenery to show up everywhere—ceremony, tables, and key venue moments.
- The Luxe (150–250 guests): Designed for larger weddings with expanded reception styling and focal pieces (like head table styling).
- The Estate (250+ guests): Built for full-scale cohesion—multiple ceremony focal points + expanded reception coverage + welcome moments.
Designer Tip for Whites (Works Great for DIY Too)
- Keep whites looking “luxury”: use clean buckets, fresh water, and cool temps—white blooms show bruising more than colored flowers.
- Let greenery create the silhouette: airy, modern “negative space” makes arrangements look intentional and premium.
- For a minimalist look: focus on fewer, stronger pieces (bridal + ceremony + head table) and do bud-vase groupings for guest tables.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions — Ivory & Eve Wedding Collection
What’s the difference between the DIY and No-DIY options?
DIY: You receive solid bunches organized by variety, plus a curated recipe, care guide, and QR tutorials so you can build every piece yourself.
No-DIY: We design and structure the wedding pieces for you, so they arrive ready to place and style with minimal setup.
Both options use the same Ivory & Eve palette and are designed to look premium in person and on camera.
How far in advance should I order?
We recommend placing your order at least 1 week before your event date so you can receive your shipment and prep comfortably.
Will I receive the exact flowers listed in “What’s Inside”?
We work to ship the exact curated recipe whenever possible. Because fresh flowers are seasonal and weather-sensitive, an occasional substitution may be necessary.
If a substitution is needed, we match the color palette, value, and overall look so your designs stay true to the Ivory & Eve aesthetic.
How do I keep white flowers looking crisp?
Use clean buckets, fresh water + flower food, and keep everything cool. Whites show bruising more easily, so gentle handling and cool temperatures make a big difference.
Design tip: build a few strong focal pieces (bridal + ceremony + head table) and keep guest tables as bud-vase groupings for a modern luxury look.
Is this collection good for black-tie weddings and modern minimalist venues?
Yes—Ivory & Eve is designed exactly for that. Clean whites instantly elevate formal spaces, while greenery gives modern organic movement that suits minimalist architecture and décor.
Is this pack suitable for professional designers, too?
Absolutely. Designers love Ivory & Eve because it’s timeless, scalable, and easy to keep cohesive across ceremony + reception.
It’s also an efficient way to source a complete classic palette without piecing together dozens of separate varieties.

Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Queen of Roses (Blood of a Fae #1) by Briar Boleyn
Genre General Fiction ( Adult), Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Romance
“More primordial than the stars. My name was on his lips as he promised unspeakable darkness to any who came between us.”
Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
I’m a big fan of “touch her, and you die” vibes, but I mean, what’s also not to love about a unique Arthurian retelling with gender twists, a treacherous royal court, a dangerous quest, magical Fae & mystical monsters, entwined with a bit of spice!
Morgan, Princess of Pendrath and true heir to the throne has spent most of her life dimming her light to feel safe and to make others comfortable. She is treated as an outcast in the court and repressed by her family due to the blood of the Fae within her and forced to join the Temple of the Three as a priestess in training to one day replace Merlin.
Her brother, King Arthur, who reminds me of Joffrey from Game of Thrones, later tells her that he has other plans and offers her a choice of the Temple or to marry her off for political gain, unless… that is, she can journey through the great unknown and return with a long-lost fae weapon with enchanted powers known as Excalibur.
Her quest begins with a roguish crew that includes the mysterious, arrogant, and heart-tuggingly handsome Captain of the Royal Guard, Kairos Draven, whom she can’t decide if she wants to stab or indulge in pleasure with.
Along the way are plenty of surprises, mystical creatures, and betrayal, all while Morgan uncovers more of the truth about herself and who she can trust.
This book had intriguing storylines and lovable characters that kept me turning pages and wanting more. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds and comes together in book 2, Court of Claws, which I just started reading!!

3.5 stars, A little boring to say the least.
Format: Kindle
Wow so I'm not sure where to begin on this one. This was a very different take on the legend of Arthur and Excalibur. This is told from the point of view of Morgan the sister of Arthur. Honestly the first 50% of this book is world building and character building which unfortunately was super boring for me. Morgan to me was a female MC that had a hard time in believing in herself. Sometimes taking too long to understand exactly what was going on around her. Draven was also a different male MC, like I couldn't put my finger on him and what he was all about. It was not until the last 10% of the book did we get some answers on the mystery that is Draven. The other 50% of the book centered around this big journey with everyone having a different motive. We see a spark of magic around this time that had me excited but then we never expanded upon that and what it could mean for the female MC. I feel like I want to read the second book just to see where this goes, but the spice was probably a 2 out of 5. Side characters are ok, Lancelet was fun but I almost felt like I wanted more.

A bewitching retelling of Arthurian legend!
Format: Kindle
In a land where the Fae have nearly become only a legend and those who still posses even a morsel of the blood are few and far between, Morgan finds herself cast aside by most of society due to her rumored half-Fae lineage, including her brother, King Arthur. With the kingdom at the brink of war, Arthur entrusts her with a quest to retrieve a Fae weapon of legendary power: the sword of Perun, Excalibur. Accompanied by men she loathes, Captain Kairos Draven and Ragnar Whitehorn, she embarks on her long and unbeknownst perilous journey, only to find that things she once believed to be myth are in fact very real. With devastating twists, omitted truths, witty banter and fierce action, Queen of Roses leaves you begging to know more about the secrets of Aercanum!
Wow, wow, wow! Going into this story, I did not realize that it was going to be a retelling of Arthurian legend, especially not one with a fantastical twist! The unique spin almost gave me The Witcher vibes and I think adding Fae into the mix was quite interesting. I knew the basics of the legend but after reading this book, it has piqued my interest and makes me want to learn more about it. My attention was snatched as soon as I finished the prologue and I knew that I was going to devour this story. I truly enjoyed the gender swaps and even how Arthur was portrayed as villainous. Morgan’s past and even her parts of her present is absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her at times. I can only recall one other book that made me hate characters the way I despised Florian and Arthur, leaving me with my blood boiling and feeling disgusted. Even after finishing the book, Draven is still a mystery to me and I cannot figure out how to feel about him. I guess they just means that the author did an excellent job at conveying each character’s persona! The rich world building and imagery made it easy for me to visualize the places that the group visited along their journey. I am truly engulfed in this story and I cannot wait to see wait fate awaits Morgan and how the Fae will be even more incorporated in the next book!.

Enchanting
Format: Kindle
"Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle.
One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed.
However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience.
Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages.
