Wednesday: What's In It?
My primary focus was on the color palette and bouquet style. I wanted to make sure I captured Sarah’s preference for a whimsical bouquet with bright and pastel flowers. I made sure to have her inspiration pics with me as I designed. Althea was also there to help me along the way! And since my sister and I share similar tastes in style and color, I knew if I loved it, she would too!
Whimsical Wildflower Wedding Flowers at a Private Home
One truly special part about our line of work is getting to design for family and friends. This Fall, we had the pleasure of designing for our Assistant Designer Olivia’s sister, Sarah. Charles and Sarah’s wedding was extra special because Charles’ family home served as the venue. To top it all off, Julianne of Most Joyful Day coordinated the event and she actually referred Olivia to work with us 4 years ago. Julianne happens to be one of Olivia’s mom’s friends! As the old adage goes, the rest is history and we were so happy to be a part of this event filled with family and friends.
Wednesday: What's In It?
For Jessica’s bouquet we used White O’Hara Garden Roses, lavender roses, pink larkspur, buttercream lisianthus and light blue delphinium. To add that wildflower whimsy she was after, we added limonium, wax flower, and scabiosa.
Pastel Rainbow Wedding at Sassafras Springs Winery
A trend I’ve seen more lately is brides embracing color! Now, don’t get us wrong, we love a traditional all white wedding, but there’s something so cheerful and happy about colorful flowers. For her summer wedding at Sassafras Springs Winery and Vineyard, Jessica came to me looking for a whimsical mix of delicate blooms in light, pastel tones. It felt garden party meets wedding and I was excited to bring the Rose of Sharon flare to it.
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.
