Sweet Queer Wedding at Theatre Squared: Floral Lapels and Pocket Squares
Last year I designed for an amazing elopment photoshoot at Stone Chapel at MattLane Farm. It featured two amazing grooms, beautiful white blooms and a whole lot of love. Allyship is incredibly important to us at Rose of Sharon so we are truly grateful to all of our queer couples for entrusting us to design for your special day.
Miles and Quincy saw the shoot we did on Instagram and loved the vibe! Next thing you know, we’re designing for their July 2024 wedding at Theatre Squared in Fayetteville.
The Evolution of Wedding Flowers: Hydrageas, a Timeless Classic
The Harrison Sisters—Beth Anne and Mary Kate were both married at The Inn at Carnall Hall within the past 5 years and they both chose hydrangeas as their focal flower, but different color palettes and accent flowers to reflect them as individuals. Let’s dive into the details and see which wedding fits your vibe the most.
Warm Toned Autumn Wedding at The Garden Room
One thing I love about my job is that no wedding, no couple is alike. That means I get to be creative in a different way for each event I design for. I feel especially lucky when a client gives me free reign—within reason—for their big day. Brooke brought me photos of my own work (so flattering) and asked for muted, early fall tones. The palette was perfect for her early November wedding to Jacob at the beautiful Garden Room here in town. The free reign part, you ask? She said I could choose any flowers as long as they were in her color palette! I was so excited to design her autumn fantasy.
The Evolution of Wedding Flowers: Classic Designs, Fresh Flowers
The VanHorn Sisters—Hollan and Mariel were both married within the past 10 years and they both chose classic floral designs, but different floral ingredients that reflected them as individuals and trends of their wedding time. Let’s dive into the details and see which wedding fits your vibe the most.
Warm Fall Wedding at Plentywoods Event Center
Spring may just have started, but I am in the thick of planning for my Fall 2024 weddings. What a perfect time to look back on Carly and Scott’s big day in early November at Plentywoods Event Venue. They chose a Multi-faceted color palette for their day, meaning the bride & groom’s flowers featured one color palette while the wedding party flowers were designed with a different, but coordinating palette. Using 2 palettes is a wonderful way to set you and your boo apart while also getting to embrace more colors. Read on to learn how we brought their vision to life!
Love Knows No Bounds Elopement at Stone Chapel at MattLane Farm
For this shoot, the amazing team at Brittany Bloom Events envisioned an amazing day focused on inclusivity, celebrating all forms of love. The beautiful, ivy covered Stone Chappel at MattLane Farm served as the glorious backdrop for our swoon worthy same-sex couple models Michael and Doug. Our role was to create an airy, ethereal ambiance for the shoot. As I shared in The Perfect Palette’s blog on this lovely day Celebrating Love’s Diversity in an Ivy Garden Elopement, “I wanted a whimsical but rich feeling, so I used a lot of lightweight summer flowers...lisianthus, ranunculus, open roses, gomphrena, stock & trailing amaranthus."
The Evolution of Wedding Flowers: Pastels & Neutrals
The Henry Sisters—Andria, Alyssa, and Karah have all been married within the past 15 years and they all had pastel and neutral flowers as a focal point, but in their own way and reflecting the trends of their wedding time. Let’s dive into the details and see which wedding fits your vibe the most.
White and Green Hydrangea Wedding at The Inn at Carnall Hall
For Mary Kate’s bouquet, we used white hydrangeas, tulips, and gardenias accented with crisp green salal. It was fluffy and ethereal and complemented her classic strapless A-line gown perfectly. The bridesmaid’s carried matching, smaller bouquets featuring only hydrangeas and next to their pale blue dresses, they looked like beautiful floral clouds. For Perry’s boutonniere we designed with a single white gardenia bloom and his groomsmen’s featuring white ranunculus.
Toffee Rose and Dried Flower Wedding at Chapel on the Creeks
Something I love observing is how neutral wedding flowers evolve over the years. There’s everlasting white and green for sure, but other more neutral colors trend in and out of fashion. This year, a toffee/cappucino colored rose is becoming popular and I love it for any time of year. For Karah and Jordan’s wedding at Chapel on The Creeks, they wanted toffee roses with dried floral accents and I couldn’t wait to get designing!
Dramatic White Rose Wedding at Metroplex Rogers
For Andrea’s bouquet, we used only the fluffiest of flowers in shades of white and cream—standard roses, spray roses, stock, lisianthus, and wax flower. We designed it in a dramatic cascade shape with fresh green foliage accenting the whole look. Combined with her amazing tiara and full dress, she looked like a princess!
