Passionate Purple Wedding at Cooper Chapel

When Jennifer and Bronwyn came to me with a vision of purples, lavenders, and burgundies for their wedding at the gorgeous Cooper Chapel, I was beyond excited! Selfishly, plum is my favorite color and even Rose of Sharon’s brand colors are purple! Plus, I always love designing 2 bouquets for 2 brides because it’s an exercise in floral pieces being unique, but complementary.
For Jennifer’s bouquet we featured, lavender “Amnesia” roses, plum ranunculus, amethyst aster (her favorite flower & a special request), mauve orchids, and maroon hanging amaranthus. To add the color contrast she was looking for we used blue eryngium, white standard roses, green Italian Ruscus, and sage dollar eucalyptus. For Bronwyn’s bouquet we designed with those same elements, but kept the color palette more pure purple—sticking only with the “Amnesia” roses, scabiosa, and ranunculus as our main flowers. Bronwyn requested more foliage for her bouquet.
The resulting bouquets were organic, lush and full. One slightly more colorful than the other, but truly a perfect pair, just like Jennifer and Bronwyn themselves. The flowers looked amazing with the ladies’ trained, dramatic dresses and tiaras. Can you ask for more than 2 queens riding off into the sunset together? We think not.
