Pastel Rainbow Wedding at Sassafras Springs Winery

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.
For Jessica’s bouquet we used White O’Hara Garden Roses, lavender roses, pink larkspur, buttercream lisianthus and light blue delphinium. To add that wildflower whimsy she was after, we added limonium, wax flower, and scabiosa. For the groom we designed a beautiful floral pocket square featuring smaller blooms from the bridal bouquet. Pocket squares are more modern than your traditional bout so it worked perfectly with the trendy color palette. The bridesmaids each carried a small, round bouquet of whites and creams. Tulips, ranunculus, roses, and stock came together to complement their varying solid and printed pastel dresses. If your maids all have different dresses, uniting them with a monochrome bouquet is the perfect way to create cohesion.
For the ceremony, we designed 2 beautiful, full arrangements to adorn the altar. Each sat on a white column and was filled with 3 different kinds of roses: pink sprays, lavender standards, and White O’Hara gardens. Then we layered in our white stock, pink larkspur, light blue delphinium, and raspberry scabiosa, all nestled with dollar eucalyptus and Italian Ruscus. For the reception, these arrangements were moved to accent to the barrels near the entryway! As far as centerpieces go, we had 2 variations! Our first was 3 bud vases filled with individual, colorful blooms. Our second was loose foliage that accented 3 tall floating candles. The combination made for the perfect, sweet vibe we were going for.
