For Maura’s organic style bouquet, we designed with multiple shades of green, cream, and small pops of terra cotta. Red Rudbekkia , cream butterfly ranunculus, two shades of yarrow and peach carnations were our focal flowers. While bupleurum, agonis, Italian Ruscus, and plumosa brought different greens and neutrals into the mix. The blooms were arranged in a wildflower style—designed to look effortlessly put-together, which is actually a master floral technique to achieve!

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.
