 We keep the favors very close to our theme of the natural woods feel. What you may ask....? Jars of potting soil and wildflower seeds to grow your own terrarium.

The Flowers

The Bouquet




I know I say this about a lot of bouquets I do but honestly I loved the way this one turned out. I used a variety of ferns, viburnum berries, ranuculus, scented geranium leaf, scabiosa pods, hydrangea and accents of feathers and fern curls. We tied off the handle with burlap and adorned it with wired twine we left long.

The Decor


 We constructed a runner of various types of mosses including Spanish, reindeer, mood and moss rocks. Apothacary jars, mason jars and log candle holders were also intertwined between the green masses of moss.



The main centerpiece was made up of some of my favorite elements: sleek birch poles, chunks of natural tree trunk, fern curls, hydrangea, fern, scabiosa pods, mosses, handmade copper fern curls and the most adorable red toadstools.



Other accent pieces included deep wooden boxes which held birch curls, ferns, mosses and lotus pods. 


Our bride Pam was so stunning! 
She fit our earthy-beauty theme well. She wore a custom bridal crown made of copper link chain, jasmine vine and a single green ranuculus bloom. IN LOVE! 

Stay tuned for more images and in-depth designs in the coming days.

Natural Beauty

Just as design is ever evolving, so was Dani's wedding flowers. Dani knew she wanted a rustic and very natural look for her flowers. As if you were to go into the mountains, gather beautiful blooms, add some twine and bam- you have her bouquet.  A great place to start. However she had no idea what flowers she wanted to make this look.  This is where we came in. We started off with a palate of lavender and greens and when it was all said and done we ended with a very diverse palate of pinks, blues, lavenders and yellow. Far from where we started but when all was done it turned out to be the perfect accent to her day. 





 
Brides bouquet was made up of two varieties of scabiosa and calcynia, billy balls, lavender, corn flower, rosemary and hanging amaranthus. Tied off with some natural jute for a touch of rustic charm. All left loose and flowing, for that hand picked look. 




Bridesmaids bouquets


I loved these mothers corsages! We took burlap fabric, lined it with satin and topped it with some beautiful scabiosa pods, calcynia, and fragrant rosemary for a one-of-a-kind corsage.



Twine tied boutonnieres held a variety of billy balls, rosemary, corn flower and calcynia.
