A trend I’ve seen more lately is brides embracing color! Now, don’t get us wrong, we love a traditional all white wedding, but there’s something so cheerful and happy about colorful flowers. For her summer wedding at Sassafras Springs Winery and Vineyard, Jessica came to me looking for a whimsical mix of delicate blooms in light, pastel tones. It felt garden party meets wedding and I was excited to bring the Rose of Sharon flare to it.

We don’t just specialize in Weddings her at Rose of Sharon, in fact, we’ve been designing for corporate, non-profit, and private events since we opened! For the past 3 years, we’ve had the pleasure of designing for the Thaden School Gala which was held at the school itself. “TOTALITY” was the theme for the night, inspired by the impending ecclipse. Event Manager, Laura Hammarstrom decided on a “full-on space-y color”-ful vibe.

For Victoria’s crown we used red and pink spray roses, orange & plum ranunculus, blue delphinium, and green Hellebore.

Victoria is Polish and she wanted to honor her heritage at this shoot. She brought me pictures of Polish and Slavic folk art flower crowns. Traditionally, flower crowns were worn by brides in rural Poland ceremonially as a symbol of the rite of passage of marriage. Victoria asked me to design a colorful, fun, modern crown for her to wear and a matching lapel for her fiance, Tim.

Floral arrangements have a magical way of brightening up any space and adding a touch of elegance to our surroundings.

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.
