Warm Toned Autumn Wedding at The Garden Room

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.

Wednesday: What's In It?

For Sydney’s bouquet, we used bright pink standard roses, blush spray roses, peach ranunculus, and orange celosia to bring the brightness, then we contrasted those with deep red kangaroo paw and maroon scabiosa. The end result was a classic round shape with the most rich colors. It looked amazing next to her ethereal gown with fabulous sleeves. For Jeff, we designed one of our favorite types of boutonnieres, a floral pocket square!

Fall Peach Wedding at St. Catherine's at Bell Gable

One of my favorite ways to create a romantic ambiance at a wedding is to choose traditionally romantic colors, but modernize them. For their wedding at St. Catherine’s at Bell Gable, Sydney and Jeff did just that by choosing deep pinks, peaches, and maroons. This palette harkens back to classic red & pink, but elevates it to the next level.
