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.
Wednesday: What's In It?
Carly’s bouquet was designed with white standard roses, scabiosa, waxflower, and stock. Dried white lunaria added a Fall harvest touch while staying in the palette. Tons of fresh Italian Ruscus, Gunni eucalyptus, and Dollar eucalyptus rounded her semi-organic bouquet out.
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!
Wednesday: What's In It?
For Michaela’s bouquet, we used white roses, chrysanthemums, gypsophila, and ranunculus. To create texture we designed with dollar, spiral, and seeded eucalyptus.
White Rose and Gypsophila Wedding at Willow Brooke Farm
White roses and gypsophila, more commonly known as baby’s breath, will always be an eternal choice for weddings. Lately, gypsophila has been having a bit of a wedding renaissance so I’m always happy to put the Rose of Sharon spin on this classic flower. For Michaela & Landon’s big day in late September, they wanted timeless white flowers to accompany the beautiful natural landscape of their venue, Willow Brooke Farm.
Wednesday: What's In It?
For Shannon’s bouquet, we used White Ashley Garden Roses, stock ranunculus, and anemones. To add texture, we intertwined dollar eucalyptus and seeded eucalyptus with the fluffy blooms! Blue delphinium added the perfect touch of something blue to bring the whole bouquet together.
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.
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."
