“Where Flowers Bloom, So Does Love."
For school sweethearts Rachel & Peter, that sentiment became the story behind their entire celebration. Rachel’s lifelong love of flowers, paired with Peter’s passion and career in horticulture, inspired “Ray & Pete’s Flower Shoppe,” transforming a custom tent beneath the iconic King Louis statue into a whimsical floral shop complete with buckets of blooms, a curated plant section, and a sprawling dance floor.
From there, guests stepped inside the Saint Louis Art Museum and into the garden where those flowers seemingly came to life. Towering trees and vibrant arrangements filled Sculpture Hall, creating an immersive garden among the works of Anselm Kiefer. With more than 100 varieties of blooms sourced from 10 countries, the celebration was abundant, unexpected, and completely rooted in Rachel & Peter’s love story..
