Traditional meets Artsy Chic = Gorgeous pastels at the Curtis House in Ashfield
November 28, 2018/
Meghan wanted all blushes, whites and creams…but she’s also an art designer, has one or two tattoos, and her hair makes me think of a unicorn (not to mention their wedding hashtag was #megbreaksben – courtesy of her fun and personal instagram feed!), so I knew that while a traditional color scheme was in order to go with her beyond-gorgeous lace dress, I could add a creative touch here and there to add a little extra style to these romantic flowers, starting with the bride’s bouquet.
My own variety of white dahlias: l’Ancresse, Beaucon White, Colwood Hope, and the every cheerful pinky-blush Valley Porcupine, mixed with pink astilbe, scabiosa stellata, pale yellow stock, and a variety of eucalyptus. Photo by me.The wedding party’s colors were blues and greens, which are my absolute favorite, and I LOVE how the pale flowers popped against these seaglass tinted dresses and not-quite-navy blue suits.They were married outside with the gate as a backdrop, so I created a flower-filled greenery garland to set the scene.The aisles were lined with sweet little jars of dahlias, heirloom chrysanthemums and snaps.Cute bouts for a handsome groom and his groomsman. Every boutonniere I made was a little bit different. I love doing that!The wedding – the reception, the location, the people – all were gorgeous! But now to the best part: a happy marriage!
