White Wedding at Leach Botanical Garden
21 Jun
I’ll admit it. I’m not a fan of white wedding flowers. Not that I don’t find them gorgeous, I do… it’s just that my personality is generally a bit more colorful. However, I must admit that I absolutely loved the way these wedding flowers turned out.
The bride Cynthia is an artist (Check out her amazingly cool work at www.cynthiamosser.com), and she had a fantastic vision of a romantic, naturally beautiful wedding. She loves succulents and peonies, so we designed her wedding bouquet with those as the star. Hydrangea, scabiosa, hypericum berries, and freesia completed her bouquet. Beautiful, if I do say so myself!
The ceremony and reception were held at Leach Botanical Garden, one of my absolute favorite wedding locals in Portland. The garden setting is just gorgeous, with natural beauty everywhere. We decorated the pergola with a garland of white and green flowers, featuring hydrangea, fragrant stock, carnations, spider mums, alstromeria, and pom flowers. Against the lush green backdrop of the gardens, the crisp white and lime green flowers were perfect!
The groom wore a cymbidium orchid boutonniere with succulent and berry accents. I know it’s a little braggy of me to say it… but itsn’t it gorgeous?! The bride and groom’s mothers wore cymbidium orchid wrist corsages, accented with freesia and hypericum berries.
Check out these fantastic centerpieces. I’d love to take all the credit, but Cynthia had a vision of using moss and succulents… I just made it happen. Each of the 10 centerpieces were unique, featuring moss (from Cynthia’s garden, how cool is that…), orchids, succulents, and twigs. Each centerpiece included a sweet bird along with the super-fun chalkboard table markers. So sweet!
Huge hugs to Cynthia and Ted for letting me be a part of their big day. I had an absolutely fabulous time!
