A Minimalist Summer Wedding on the Rooftop of The Post HTX

Share This Post

Some weddings are all about grandiosity, while others find beauty in simplicity—and this summer celebration at The Post HTX proves just how stunning minimalism can be. With a pared-down, intentional design featuring soft peach and light green florals, clean ikebana arrangements, and whimsical touches, this wedding embodied a “less is more” philosophy. The result? An effortlessly elegant rooftop affair that was both stylish and refreshingly fun. This Houston wedding venue won’t disappoint. 

The bride’s vision for her wedding was clear from the start: minimalist, summery, and fun, with no unnecessary frills. She put it simply, “I don’t want all that crap on the table!” Staying true to this vision, we took a less-is-more approach to the floral design and decor. By incorporating Japanese-inspired ikebana arrangements, clusters of delicate bud vases, and elegant green taper candles, we created a setting that felt refined yet relaxed, allowing the spectacular downtown views and vibrant atmosphere of The Post HTX rooftop to shine.

The Florals: Soft Peach and Fresh Greens with a Modern Twist

For the floral palette, we chose shades of peach and light green—a combination that felt effortlessly summery and perfectly suited for a rooftop setting. Peach garden roses, ranunculus, and delicate cosmos were complemented by wispy greenery and subtle pops of fresh green to keep the look bright and airy. Instead of traditional centerpieces, we created ikebana-inspired arrangements that highlighted each flower’s unique form. These sculptural designs felt modern and intentional, each stem purposefully placed to create an organic sense of flow.

The tables were kept simple, with clusters of bud vases and green taper candles adding to the minimalist aesthetic. Each bud vase held a few carefully chosen florals, bringing subtle color and texture to the tables without overwhelming the space. This approach gave the tablescape a sense of lightness, allowing guests to engage and enjoy the views without visual clutter.

Setting the Scene: The Post HTX Rooftop

Located in the heart of Houston, The Post HTX is a striking venue with an expansive rooftop that provides some of the best skyline views in the city. With such a dramatic setting, we wanted the decor to enhance rather than compete with the rooftop’s modern architecture and panoramic views. The minimalist arrangements brought a refreshing sense of calm to the urban landscape, creating a chic oasis above the bustling city below.

As the sun began to set, the green taper candles were lit, adding a warm glow to the rooftop and creating a cozy yet elevated ambiance. With soft florals, sleek decor, and sweeping views, the scene struck a beautiful balance between modern sophistication and summer charm.

The Details: Intentional, Fun, and Just Enough

True to the bride’s request, we kept the decor clean and free from unnecessary elements. The focus was on thoughtful, intentional details—each one designed to add character and warmth without overpowering the minimalist aesthetic. Even the bride’s bouquet followed suit, with a delicate cluster of peach and green blooms tied with a soft ribbon that added a gentle touch of whimsy.

This Houston wedding Florist showed just how powerful a minimalist approach can be. With careful attention to detail and an emphasis on quality over quantity, every design choice felt purposeful and refined, creating an atmosphere that was as refreshing as it was stylish.

Celebrating with Style

The night ended with guests dancing under the stars, surrounded by glowing candles, fresh blooms, and the sparkle of Houston’s skyline in the background. With its combination of minimalism and fun, this wedding was a celebration of summer and a reminder that sometimes, simplicity is the ultimate luxury.
