For her recent wedding to William, Hollynn chose to carry a hand-tied bouquet of white and ivory flowers, which included hydrangea, roses, lisianthus, stock and astilbe. The flowers were accented with seeded and silver dollar eucalyptus.Hollyn and William's reception was held at the Renaissance Hotel. Centerpieces alternated between tall and low arrangements. The tall arrangements contained mostly greenery with some white and ivory flower accents. The foliage included seeded eucalyptus, silver dollar eucalyptus and Italian ruscus.

The low centerpieces consisted of groupings of glass cylinders containing floating candles, white hydrangea and ivory roses.

 

As a wedding trend for 2018, we are seeing a number of brides choosing bouquets which primarily feature a lush assortment of foliage. This was the case in one of our weddings last weekend, with the bride's attendants carrying bouquets consisting of mixed varieties of eucalyptus with an accent of baby's breath. The bride's bouquet harmonized with the organic attendant bouquets, but included white and ivory flowers. Here roses, spray roses, ranunculus, lisianthus and baby's breath are added to the greens. The foliage in the bouquet includes two varieties of eucalyptus. As a contrast, another bride this weekend chose a classically sleek and elegant bouquet with little foliage. The flowers featured are roses and mini calla lilies.  

Dan and Sarah were recently wed in St. Paul's Cathedral and enjoyed a fabulous reception at the Duquesne Club. Of course, if it was a Ludwig wedding, the flowers had to be exquisite!

White flowers adorned the sanctuary of St. Paul's Cathedral, with white hydrangea marking the front pews.

Here's a close up of the flowers carried by the bride. Sarah's bouquet featured White O'hara garden roses, white ranunculus, White Majolica spray roses and silver dollar eucalyptus. The flower stems were wrapped with tulle from Sarah's Mom's wedding veil.

Half of the table centerpieces were tall, and contained white hydrangea, White Chocolate roses, spray roses and silver dollar eucalyptus. Eucalyptus lined the table.

Low table centerpieces were clear glass cylinders filled with white hydrangea, White O'hara garden roses, spray roses and seeded and silver dollar eucalyptus.

The bridal bouquet for Ruth and Michael's recent wedding featured shades of pale purple and lavender roses, lisianthus, and limmonium, accented with white roses, white hydrangea and grey dusty miller.

Right now in Pennsylvania the peaches are in season. This wedding palette of peach colored blooms is a stunning choice for late July. The bride's hand-tied bouquet included peach Juliet garden roses, peach dahlias, pink carnations, white ranunculus, peach hypericum, pink carnations and silver dollar eucalyptus. The bride wanted to incorporate white anemones into the bouquet, so we used silk flowers for the best show and value.Centerpieces for the reception followed the same color theme with white and light peach hydrangea, peach spray roses, peach hypericum, pink carnations and silver dollar eucalyptus.

It's been a whirlwind wedding season here at the Blumengarten! Frankly, what with attending to multiple weddings each weekend, there never seems to be enough time to take photos and write blog posts.In November the wedding season quiets down a bit. The cooler weather brings out looks for our brides that are quite different from the lush garden flowers of summer.This bridal bouquet is a fabulous choice for the winter months. It features white hydrangea, roses, limmonium and star of Bethlehem.  Frosty, glittery accents are added with the addition of silver seeded eucalyptus and frosted pine cones. Beautiful!
