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!

Fall Peach Wedding at St. Catherine's at Bell Gable

One of my favorite ways to create a romantic ambiance at a wedding is to choose traditionally romantic colors, but modernize them. For their wedding at St. Catherine’s at Bell Gable, Sydney and Jeff did just that by choosing deep pinks, peaches, and maroons. This palette harkens back to classic red & pink, but elevates it to the next level.

Ravishing Reds Wedding at Sassafras Springs Winery

Red is arguably the 2nd most classic wedding color, with white (of course) taking the top spot. In the over 25 years I’ve been designing, I’ve loved seeing how red has evolved as a palette. For Max and Audrey’s, Fall nuptials at Sassafras Springs Winery, we created a gorgeous, modern take on red with shades of burgundy, purple, and pink. You might be thinking—those colors aren’t red? Well, technically they’re not, but they’re all in the (red) family!

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.
