Our niece/cousin tied the knot this past Saturday and we provided the floral pieces for the ceremony and reception. The bride chose a simple, yet rich, plum, green and white theme for her big day. There's no rule that says all fall weddings have to match the turning leaves!
The goal for this wedding was to create
bridal flowers that were a modern take on the traditional romantic style. We went for a dramatic punch, massing only a handful of flower types in each bouquet. The bridesmaids carried hand-ties of white hydrangea as well as ivory and jade green roses, with bear grass woven in for a contemporary touch. The bride carried a looser bouquet of green mini hydrangea, ivory roses, white stock, and purple accent flowers. Each bouquet featured a hand-woven ribbon and pearl pin
wrap detail. The groom sported a simple ivory rose boutonniere with plum accent and bark wire detail.
The wedding was originally scheduled to be held outdoors, but the weather in the northeast was not cooperative and both the ceremony and reception were moved inside. Beautiful urns with white and purple live plantings welcomed guests in the foyer and adorned the ceremony area. Full Boston ferns were placed on plum fabric squares as centerpieces. They were then surrounded with birch log votive holders (as crafted by Condon & Fox Building Corp). Last minute arrangements of native New Hampshire hydrangeas were made up on the spot to adorn the gift table and multiple pots of white phlox, additional ferns, and purple mums completed the room.
The trouble in working and attending a wedding is that there is never enough time to snap pictures of all of your pieces! Unfortunately we missed all four of the urns and a large arrangement of white roses, stock, and purple accent flowers.
