Vibrant Space Themed Gala at The Thaden School

We don’t just specialize in Weddings her at Rose of Sharon, in fact, we’ve been designing for corporate, non-profit, and private events since we opened! For the past 3 years, we’ve had the pleasure of designing for the Thaden School Gala which was held at the school itself. “TOTALITY” was the theme for the night, inspired by the impending ecclipse.

Warm Toned Autumn Wedding at The Garden Room

Warm Toned Autumn Wedding at The Garden Room

One thing I love about my job is that no wedding, no couple is alike. That means I get to be creative in a different way for each event I design for. I feel especially lucky when a client gives me free reign—within reason—for their big day. Brooke brought me photos of my own work (so flattering) and asked for muted, early fall tones. The palette was perfect for her early November wedding to Jacob at the beautiful Garden Room here in town. The free reign part, you ask? She said I could choose any flowers as long as they were in her color palette! I was so excited to design her autumn fantasy.

Wednesday: What's In It?

For Sydney’s bouquet, we used bright pink standard roses, blush spray roses, peach ranunculus, and orange celosia to bring the brightness, then we contrasted those with deep red kangaroo paw and maroon scabiosa. The end result was a classic round shape with the most rich colors. It looked amazing next to her ethereal gown with fabulous sleeves. For Jeff, we designed one of our favorite types of boutonnieres, a floral pocket square!

BOUQUET INSPO: SPRING/SUMMER WEDDINGS

Spring in Arkansas is beautiful—tulips and daffodils blooming everywhere and not-too-hot-not-too-cold nights. Yet, summer quickly approaches with high temps and cloudless days. Whether your wedding is in Spring or Summer, you’ll have a backdrop of lush greenery for your wedding photos and I love designing a bouquet to complement the natural beauty of the season.

For Sally’s bouquet we used orange Free Spirit Garden Roses, peach ranunculus, mauve lisianthus, wine dahlias, and royal blue delphinium. To add that wildflower whimsy she was after, we added limonium, seeded eucalyptus, and agonis.
