bouqets and bouts

The bridal bouquet was a showstopper—vibrant and full of life. A mix of peach, yellow, and pink blooms created a stunning focal point, perfectly matching the overall floral theme. The groom’s boutonniere tied into the color scheme with a delicate bloom from the floral palette, while the groomsmen wore blush spray roses. For the mothers, peach ranunculus and blue accents on brass cuffs added a touch of elegance. These thoughtful touches throughout the wedding day brought the floral design full circle, creating a cohesive, colorful experience.

ceremony

The ceremony took place along the serene Little River, where the natural beauty of the venue set the stage for an intimate and romantic exchange of vows. The tranquil sound of flowing water paired with lush greenery provided the perfect backdrop. Floral arrangements in soft pastels lined the aisle, giving the ceremony area a dreamy, secret garden feel. The arch, draped in smilax greenery and dotted with pastel blooms, framed the vows beautifully, making it a moment of pure magic.

Walking into the reception felt like stepping into a whimsical wonderland. The tables were adorned with mismatched bud vases, each filled with locally grown flowers in every color imaginable. The varying heights of the vases—tall vases featuring scabiosa, dahlias, and delphinium, and shorter vases with snapdragons, lisianthus, and roses—created a dynamic, playful atmosphere. Rainbow-colored taper candles in hurricanes added warmth and charm, casting a soft glow over the room as the evening unfolded. The sweetheart table was transformed into a lush, enchanted garden with flowers layered atop varying-height boxes, making it a dreamy focal point.
