Rustic Farm Wedding- July 21, 2012

Allyson and I met at the bridal show in January and had a great consultation shortly after. She was one of the best brides to work with and I am so honored to have been a part of her wedding.

Their wedding was located at the family farm out in Versailles and they wanted the flowers to compliment the rustic, shabby chic vibe of the venue. The bridesmaids dresser wore turquoise so we decided to do peach and white flowers. For the tables we did centerpieces of grouped blue mason jars and wood crates. Roses, dahlias, lisianthus, freesia, carnations, mums, lilies and stock were some of the flowers used for their special day.

This wedding was exciting for me as it was the first wedding I was able to work with Great Expectations. Below are some pictures from the day.

Rustic, Outdoor Wedding- June 10, 2012

Tristan and Aaron came to Lexington from Texas for a destination wedding at Talon Winery. Tristan loved the idea of the monochromatic look throughout the bouquets and centerpieces. Her colors were ivory, navy and pale pink and we incorporated those colors into the flowers.

The couple really wanted to give their wedding a rustic, informal feel; the ceremony took place at the gazebo located in the winery's vineyard that overlooked the scenic landscape. We decided to keep the ceremony decor simple with rose petals lining the aisle and two floral arrangements hanging from the gazebo as a way to complement the natural beauty of the setting.

The bridesmaids carried bouquets of pale pink flowers (hydrangea, roses, lisianthus and carnations) while the bride carried a bouquet of blue flowers (hydrangea, iris, delphinium). For the centerpieces Tristan loved the look of grouped blue mason jars. We incorporated the monochromatic look here by grouping three mason jars filled of all pale pink, all blue or all white flowers. For the bigger arrangements we filled mason jars with flowers of all three colors and surrounded it by mason jars filled with pillar candles. We used such a wide range of flowers for Tristan and Aaron's wedding: stock, hydrangea, football mums, delphinium, lisianthus, iris, aster, astilbe, roses and carnations.

Tristan and Aaron make a beautiful couple and I am so honored that they allowed me to be apart of their wedding day. Here are a few pictures from their special day:
