Peach Juliet Roses for a Garden-Style Wedding

Augusta loved the idea of wedding flowers that had a garden feel to them. Summer flowers in peaches and ivories and lots of greens- soft silvery greens and fresh summer greens as  

well as touches of silver and rich texture. It was great coming up with recipes that combined blooms from the garden such as peach colored dahlias and zinnias with wedding favorites such as peach and ivory spray roses and Juliet garden roses.

Vintage sewing drawer and fragrant cedar wood boxes were filled with nandina, illicium, seeded eucalyptus and Dusty Miller and layered with lots of lovely blooms.

Clear glass compotes added more interest to the reception designs.

All in all I think that my bride and her family were very pleased!

Peach Garden Roses and Silver Brunia Berries for Hilary and Gordon

I am so excited to share some beautiful images of Hilary's and Gordon's wedding captured by the talented husband and wife team- Brett & Jessica.

This mid-September wedding took place in a sweet rustic setting right outside Raleigh called The Little Herb House. It's such a charming venue- lovely open meadows for outdoor ceremonies, a formal herb garden, and a HUGE BARN that is just perfect for all sorts of celebrating!

Hilary's colors palette included soft peaches and corals and ivories with touches of dusty grays and silvery green. Her flowers included Juliet Garden roses, blush Sahara roses, Brunia Berries and sedum.

The bridesmaids carried bouquets of whites hydrangeas and lisianthus with seeded eucalyptus and a bright pop of raspberry pink alstromeria.
Jessica's bouquet was wrapped in burlap and lace.

Moms carried posies of Majolica spray roses, lisianthus and fragrant leaves of scented geranium.

Gordon's boutonniere featured white Majolica spray roses, brunia berries, sedum and Dusty Miller.

Their wedding was featured in a January post on Bridal Musings. Be sure to check it out to see all the great details of a very sweet wedding!

Soft Blush Flowers for Hilary and Gordon's Wedding

Hilary and Gordon were married last Saturday. The day was perfect and the barn and grounds at The Little Herb House on the southeast side of Raleigh was absolutely lovely. I'm really looking forward to seeing the images captured by Brett and Jessica.

I met with Hilary and her Mom, Carol, back in February. Hilary already knew what she wanted- a soft color palette that featured creams, blush pinks,  delicate peaches, and silvery greens. She also loved textural elements such as seeded eucalyptus and  silver brunia berry. The flowers included Juliet garden roses,Senorita roses, soft pink chablis spray roses,and white lisianthus.

The designs for her bridesmaids featured white hydrangea, white lisianthus, ivory spray roses, wax flowers, seeded eucalyptus, and alstromeria that provided a bright splash of pink.

Boutonnieres for the Dads were twine wrapped baby's breath and

the groom and groomsmen wore spray roses edged with seeded eucalyptus. Gordon's boutonniere featured a sprig of sedum and brunia berries with a single Dusty Miller leaf.

Instead of wearing flowers, the Moms carried posies of white lisianthus, spray roses and scented geranium leaves.

Now it's HONEYMOON time! Hilary and Gordon, praying God's blessing for you as you begin your lives together!!!!
