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.
Wednesday: What's In It?
For Chandler’s bouquet, we used an array of delicate flowers in white: roses, anemones, and ranunculus. The something blue was pale delphinium, gray-blue eryngium, and navy privet berry.
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 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.
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.
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.
Wednesday: What's In It?
For Karah’s bouquet, we used a mix of ‘Toffee’ standard roses and ‘Sahara Sunset’ (a latte color) spray roses to bring that warm feeling she was looking for. The finishing touches were a pop of white ranunculus, beautiful green foliage, and dried floral accents like cute bunny tails. It paired with her lace dress beautifully!
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!
Wednesday: What's In It?
For Andrea’s bouquet, we used only the fluffiest of flowers in shades of white and cream—standard roses, spray roses, stock, lisianthus, and wax flower. We designed it in a dramatic cascade shape with fresh green foliage accenting the whole look.
