White Rose and Gypsophila Wedding at Willow Brooke Farm

White roses and gypsophila, more commonly known as baby’s breath, will always be an eternal choice for weddings. Lately, gypsophila has been having a bit of a wedding renaissance so I’m always happy to put the Rose of Sharon spin on this classic flower. For Michaela & Landon’s big day in late September, they wanted timeless white flowers to accompany the beautiful natural landscape of their venue, Willow Brooke Farm.
For Michaela’s bouquet, we used white roses, chrysanthemums, gypsophila, and ranunculus. To create texture we designed with dollar, spiral, and seeded eucalyptus. To bring it all together we used a special ingredient—limonium! Although a delicate, pale filler flower, white limonium has an almost purple hue which brings white flowers and green foliage together so nicely. A spray rose bloom was the perfect size for Landon’s bout and we paired it with more limonium and chrysanthemums. The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of the bridal bouquet and they popped with their black dresses! Coordinating bouts for the groomsmen were the finishing touch.
For the reception we designed 2 types of centerpieces. The first was a large, organic arrangement that was placed on top of a wood stand at the family table. Gorgeous white stock, roses, and carnations trailed between Italian Ruscus, dollar eucalyptus, and gypsophila. The second centerpiece type was a low, compact white hydrangea arrangement with foliage accents. The combination of the two heights and types made a striking visual impact in Willow Brooke Farm’s open, air space.
Willow Brooke Farm served as the perfect backdrop for this amazing day and Hope Mulanax Photography captured the day wonderfully. Enjoy the snaps below!
