Hydrangeas

Comment

With its full bushy head and intense shades of pink, blue, burgundy and purple, it's no wonder the hydrangea represented "vanity" in the Victorian language of flowers (but don't worry, you're not vain if you love hydrangeas).

One of the most popular hydrangea varieties changes in color from bubble-gum pink to sky blue as it grows, depending on the acid level of the soil. A stem or two of this moderately priced, scentless shrub flower fills out arrangements and bouquets, and a few sprigs make a charming boutonniere. You'll find the hydrangea in white and shades of green, pink, burgundy and blue.

Tulips

Comment

Although tulips are most often associated with the Netherlands, this flower is actually a native of Persia. Representing "consuming love" and "happy years," the tulip can be a meaningful wedding choice. This flower is grown in a wide range of hues, including white and cream, pastels (pink, yellow and peach) and vibrant shades (magenta, red, orange and purple).

Available during much of the year, the most common tulips are very affordable, though rare varieties can be expensive. The versatile tulip can enhance both elegant wedding settings and more casual venues, and work well in almost any detail at a wedding—from bouquets and boutonnieres to table arrangements. Three main varieties are commonly used: Dutch tulips (typically seen at neighborhood florist shops and in gardens), French tulips (expensive and elegant, with extra-long stems and large tapered blooms) and parrot tulips (noted for their ruffled, striped petals in intense colors).

ROSE DRENCHED WEDDING AT ANNADEL ESTATE WINERY

Comment

Amanda and Bryan were married inside the beautiful stone wall ruins at Annadel Eastate Winery in Napa California in the fall of 2017. These centerpieces were all about ROSES. We had thousands of stems of full, fragrant garden roses for this event, all of them coming from local farms.

We kept the design here classic and feminine, inspired by the venue and the delicate lace of the bride’s gown and veil. The groom is a chef, so food was an important piece of this wedding. To incorporate some of this into the décor, Little herb, berry, and acorn bundles were tied to cards with each guests name and seating assignment. It was such a beautiful golden October day for them, congrats Amanda and Bryan! Published on Oncewed here.

It really is a huge pleasure to share these stunning images by the brilliant photographer Tim Emmerton, we were lucky enough to be working with him on Caroline & Steven's breathtakingly atmospheric wedding over at Browsholme Hall & Tithe Barn.

I'd created a luscious wedding bouquet in Caroline & Steven's chosen colour palette of rich and dark; Clarets, Burgundy, nut browns, auburns and nude tones, we'd introduced a whole host of seasonal texture, with glossy berries, velvety Roses, frothy Dahlias, fleshy Succulents and silky Calla Lilies framed by shiny Autumn leaves...

The Bridesmaid's bouquets were smaller versions with more of the paler shades to contrast with their deep claret gowns

It's so lovely to see and share Tim Emmerton's exquisite work
