Celebrating 26 Years in the Floral Business
As we celebrate our 26th year in the business, we can't help but reflect on the journey we've had. We've seen styles come and go, but our favorite flowers are still daffodils. We still love the thrill of finding the perfect flower, the one that brings a design to life or makes a couple’s day extra special.
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.
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.
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."
The Evolution of Wedding Flowers: Pastels & Neutrals
The Henry Sisters—Andria, Alyssa, and Karah have all been married within the past 15 years and they all had pastel and neutral flowers as a focal point, but in their own way and reflecting the trends of their wedding time. Let’s dive into the details and see which wedding fits your vibe the most.
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 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.
