The Evolution of Wedding Flowers: Classic Designs, Fresh Flowers
The VanHorn Sisters—Hollan and Mariel were both married within the past 10 years and they both chose classic floral designs, but different floral ingredients that reflected them as individuals and trends of their wedding time. Let’s dive into the details and see which wedding fits your vibe the most.
Inspiration vs. Interpretation: Classic White Round Bouquet with Something Blue
I ask almost every client for inspiration photos during the creative process. It helps me understand exactly what they are envisioning for their wedding. When Shannon reached out and asked me to dessign for her and Brent’s intimate nuptials at Cooper Chapel, she actually brought me a picture of my own design! I was so flattered! She loved everything about it, but wanted to add a touch of something blue.
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!
Wednesday: What's In It?
For Andrea’s bouquet, we used an array of soft flowers in white: lisianthus, scabiosa, stock, orleya, and canterbury bells. The finishing touch, a sweet accent of pale blue delphinium.
Garden Countryside Wedding at Stone Chapel at MattLane Farm
For Andrea and Cole’s wedding at the lovely Stone Chapel at MattLane Farm, they envisioned a Garden Countryside. Think European Garden meets NWA in the best way. The colors were whites and soft blues; and Andrea wanted small and delicate flowers for that natural, wild feeling.
Wednesday: What's In It?
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.
Whimsical Jewel Tone Wedding at Cooper Chapel
One of my favorite color palettes to work with is something I call multicolor. Now that does not mean rainbow (unless you want it to,) instead it means a variety of colors usually in a similar color tone family. For her summer wedding, Sally came to me looking for a whimsical mix of seasonal blooms in deep, rich jewel tones. I loved her vision and was excited to bring the ROS flare to it.
Wednesday: What's In It?
For Audrey’s bouquet, we used gorgeous red Hearts Garden Roses, mauve stock, blush ranunculus, pink lisianthus, and wine scabiosa.
Wednesday: What's In It?
For Erica’s bouquet, we used gorgeous orange Free Spirit Garden Roses, blush stock, peach ranunculus, and coral hypericum berries. The bouquet had so much dimension and texture and was the perfect example of what I call a semi-organic style.
