Valerie and Christopher’s wedding flowers were a total blast to design! When I met with Valerie a year before her wedding date we bounced ideas around and had so much fun dreaming up her perfect wedding look. Fast forward to two months before the wedding at our second meeting- we realized we needed more color! The stunning view at the Capitol View Room combined with the richness of the purple pin tuck linens from Mimi & Co. lead us to slightly change the color scheme and add more rich purple, ruby red, lime green and dusky lavender. The end result? Stunning!!!
One thing we did not change- Valerie’s bouquet. White with green- classic, fresh, timeless. While my designing style is usually very color rich- I enjoy the visual break of a white bridal bouquet. Valerie’s bouquet featured peonies, freesia, callas, spray roses, and hypericum, accented with Swarovski crystals.
I am never opposed to a touch of sparkle. We hung ropes of clear beads from Valerie and Christopher’s full, lush and tall centerpieces.
The low guest table centerpieces were designed in three vases. I really like this look for a couple of reasons- designing the flowers in several vases adds an unexpected look to the centerpiece and at the end of the night you can give the flowers away to more of your guests.
