During the height of the busy wedding season, we often find that there is just not enough time to add to our blog. Looking back on some of the photos we took over the past months, we thought that these flowers were particularly lovely for an October wedding.

The bride's bouquet was an organic gathering of white hydrangea, Amnesia and ivory roses, and dark purple dahlias with a mix of various eucalyptus varieties.

Centerpieces for the reception at Longue Vue Club were in 6" cylinder vases. Flowers used were white hydrangea, Amnesia and ivory roses, dark purple cushion pomps and mixed eucalyptus. Note that by using cushion pomps over the purple dahlias that were in the bride's bouquet, we were able to duplicate the look of the bridal bouquet in the centerpieces, with a significant savings in the final price. This is one example of ideas that we can suggest to keep your wedding flowers within your budget.

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.  

Bethany and Ken were wed in a beautiful ceremony at the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden. Here are some photos of the lush greenery that made up the venue decor:

The 2018 wedding season has begun, and each weekend gets a bit busier with weddings as we move further into Spring. We are thrilled to feature photos from Gina and Alex's recent wedding.
