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."

White Garden Rose Wedding with Something Blue at Osage House

I love putting a fresh, modern spin on the classics. For Chandler and Jacob’s wedding at the grand Osage House, they envisioned a classic white color palette with something blue. Think timeless, white blooms with a special pop of color!

For Chandler’s bouquet, we used an array of delicate flowers in white: garden roses, anemones, and ranunculus. The something blue was pale delphinium, gray-blue eryngium, and navy privet berry. It was lush and lovely and perfect with her off the shoulder gown!

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!
