Sweet Queer Wedding at Theatre Squared: Floral Lapels and Pocket Squares

Last year I designed for an amazing elopment photoshoot at Stone Chapel at MattLane Farm. It featured two amazing grooms, beautiful white blooms and a whole lot of love. Allyship is incredibly important to us at Rose of Sharon so we are truly grateful to all of our queer couples for entrusting us to design for your special day.

Miles and Quincy saw the shoot we did on Instagram and loved the vibe! Next thing you know, we’re designing for their July 2024 wedding at Theatre Squared in Fayetteville.

Inspiration vs. Interpretation: Colorful Folk Flower Crown

Victoria is Polish and she wanted to honor her heritage at this shoot. She brought me pictures of Polish and Slavic folk art flower crowns. Traditionally, flower crowns were worn by brides in rural Poland ceremonially as a symbol of the rite of passage of marriage. Victoria asked me to design a colorful, fun, modern crown for her to wear and a matching lapel for her fiance, Tim.

Love Knows No Bounds Elopement at Stone Chapel at MattLane Farm

For this shoot, the amazing team at Brittany Bloom Events envisioned an amazing day focused on inclusivity, celebrating all forms of love. The beautiful, ivy covered Stone Chappel at MattLane Farm served as the glorious backdrop for our swoon worthy same-sex couple models Michael and Doug. Our role was to create an airy, ethereal ambiance for the shoot. As I shared in The Perfect Palette’s blog on this lovely day Celebrating Love’s Diversity in an Ivy Garden Elopement, “I wanted a whimsical but rich feeling, so I used a lot of lightweight summer flowers...lisianthus, ranunculus, open roses, gomphrena, stock & trailing amaranthus."

White Garden Rose Wedding with Something Blue at Osage House

I love putting a fresh, modern spin on the classics. For Chandler and Jacob’s wedding at the grand Osage House, they envisioned a classic white color palette with something blue. Think timeless, white blooms with a special pop of color!

For Chandler’s bouquet, we used an array of delicate flowers in white: garden roses, anemones, and ranunculus. The something blue was pale delphinium, gray-blue eryngium, and navy privet berry. It was lush and lovely and perfect with her off the shoulder gown!
