I was recommended to the bride by her close friend who was a florist. We got together for coffee and she gushed over her love for this man. A woman with a strong soul like this I felt and instant connection with. After that coffee date, she made me feel like I understood her and her vision.
To keep things classic, neutral tones and green dominated, drawing in a rustic feel from pops of rust. The style needed to be organic; that calls for Smilax Vines crawling up the floral frame and lining the aisle with candles and more vines to mark the path. Table runners featured the smilax vines as well. It felt like walking into a place that felt truly alive - a melding of nature and structure.
With such a green forward design, I balanced it out by blooming the color palette in the bouquets and boutonnieres. The brides bouquet was the standout piece, bursting out from her hand and spilling creamy champagne, soft and deep oranges and strong rust colors from the bounty of white garden roses and accent foliage. It was a soulful bloom of the two of them.
They couldn’t have been happier, grateful that I was able to understand their aesthetic and bring their vision to life creatively. The bride expressed that her bouquet took her breath away and that she had a peace of mind from start to finish knowing I was handling the flowers.I loved the fact that I could play with different floral stories in every part of the wedding that ultimately were tied together with common elements. From weaving greens to strokes of white and finishing with bursts of rust and orange that really shared their story.
