Simple Outdoor Wedding

9/27/2012

Last week, we were lucky enough to help decorate a fun outdoor wedding for our bride Amber. Taking place in the side and back yard of her parents home, a large farm in Hopewell, NJ - the weather was perfect and the setting was lush and inviting.

A vintage, country themed wedding with lots of personality, the day began with a driveway lined with simple daisy filled mason jars hung from hooks lining the driveway.  The guests were then escorted to the romantic ceremony setting, placed under a tree dripping with yellow and white lanterns. Our newest arbor was the perfect accent to frame the bride and groom as they took their vows.

After the ceremony guests were treated to cocktails in the back yard before heading to the tent for a dinner reception. The long guest tables were filled with vintage bottles in different sizes, each with simple yellow flower. Floating candles in mason jars, votive candles and a wine bottle table number all helped to set the casual theme of the wedding. Guests were invited into the 4 car garage that was set up as the dance pavillion. Decorated with funny yard signs, antique furniture filled with family photos, fresh flowers, cocktail tables and even flip flops for tired feet.

A simple color theme of yellow and white looked amazing set against the simple white tent, the yellow and white striped linens and the lush green of the acres and acres of trees and grass.  A grand time was had by all - and we were honored to help out!

Wow in Purple - Learning that Size Matters

Having trouble choosing wedding floral centerpieces for your big day and fitting it all into your budget? We certainly can understand your stress right now and I really strive to make it as easy as possible.

Take this centerpiece for example - created for bride Lori and her hubby Steve at Lambertville Inn. At first glance is looks pretty simple, very purple and I'll bet that you have no idea how big this is. I have a tip for you. When looking at photos like this online, look for something in the photo that you can easily see the correct size. For example, at the base of this centerpiece are fluted champagne glasses. We all know about how large a glass like that is. Now study the glass and salt and pepper shakers  in conjunction with the overall size of the floral display. A piece that might have looked rather average in size, now look completely different once you know how to "scale" it in the photo. Do you often see photos that are a close up and don't show anything else to help you determine size? Why not pick out one flower you are familiar with, in this case the lavender roses. Knowing how large the head of a standard rose also gives you a point of reference to help you "scale" the overall size.

This piece stood on top of a 24" tall candle pedetals vase and contained many flowers including 7 stems of trailing phaelanopsis orchid sprays, each with 8 to 12 blooms on a stem, 10 roses, 5 green hydrangeas, 8 plum carnations, 3 stems of stock,  and over 12 mini calla lilies. Wow, who would guess this display would take so many flower to create? Retailing at $450, this piece may not be with in your budget but understanding what it takes to create it, just might make you feel better about your floral choices and gives you the power to search floral arrangements on line and determine their size. Remember, the number of flowers it takes to give the desired size, translates into overall cost. The bigger the display, the more expensive it will be. Now that you've learned how to "scale" an online photo, have fun searching to find just the right floral inspiration for your wedding. Want to explore costs a bit more? Check out my youtube videos discussing why flowers cost what they do

A Princeton Wedding

Nothing makes me happier than thank you notes and professional wedding pictures. Even though I'm sure to take a photo of just about every wedding bouquet that leaves the store, there really is nothing like an amazing shot by a professional wedding photographer like this one taken by Char Photography at charphotography.com and how fun is this? 

I really loved everything that Rachel chose and especially enjoyed how everything coordinated. This wedding is a perfect example of how keeping the colors simple can really make an amazing statement. Although the floral elements were textured and interesting, the simple color theme does not distract from all those beautiful girls carrying the bouquets - Rachel included. And the boys are not to shappy either! To see more photos from this elegant wedding, be sure to watch our Youtube Video called
Rachel and Dion's Wedding. Enjoy!
