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.

Warm Fall Wedding at Plentywoods Event Center

Spring may just have started, but I am in the thick of planning for my Fall 2024 weddings. What a perfect time to look back on Carly and Scott’s big day in early November at Plentywoods Event Venue. They chose a Multi-faceted color palette for their day, meaning the bride & groom’s flowers featured one color palette while the wedding party flowers were designed with a different, but coordinating palette. Using 2 palettes is a wonderful way to set you and your boo apart while also getting to embrace more colors. Read on to learn how we brought their vision to life!

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 and Green Hydrangea Wedding at The Inn at Carnall Hall

For Mary Kate’s bouquet, we used white hydrangeas, tulips, and gardenias accented with crisp green salal. It was fluffy and ethereal and complemented her classic strapless A-line gown perfectly. The bridesmaid’s carried matching, smaller bouquets featuring only hydrangeas and next to their pale blue dresses, they looked like beautiful floral clouds. For Perry’s boutonniere we designed with a single white gardenia bloom and his groomsmen’s featuring white ranunculus.

Toffee Rose and Dried Flower Wedding at Chapel on the Creeks

Something I love observing is how neutral wedding flowers evolve over the years. There’s everlasting white and green for sure, but other more neutral colors trend in and out of fashion. This year, a toffee/cappucino colored rose is becoming popular and I love it for any time of year. For Karah and Jordan’s wedding at Chapel on The Creeks, they wanted toffee roses with dried floral accents and I couldn’t wait to get designing!

For her bouquet, Shelby wanted a modern long-stem rose bouquet. This style is simple and classic, but it requires technique to perfect. I carefully arranged these beautiful white long stem roses in the most perfect shape and size to accompany Shelby’s gorgeous fit and flare sweetheart neck dress. Her bridesmaid’s wore ruffle-accented latte colored dresses and carried smaller versions of her own long-stemmed masterpiece.

Lush White Elopement at St. Catherine's at Bell Gable

We always feel so flattered when a bride comes to us with inspiration from our own past work! Loren did just that when she reached out to ask us to design the flowers for her elopement. She loved photos of round, lush semi-organic white and blush bouquets. It’s a classic design that never goes out of style so our job is making it feel personal, and unique for each specific wedding.
