Jeweled Gaylord National Resort Wedding

Jewel and Reggie got married on a beautiful June day amidst a jewel-toned (no pun intended) palette of rich purples and blues. Jewel was more than the bride’s name though. Elegance and opulence were key elements of the jeweled Gaylord Resort wedding. The bride’s bouquet featured lush, open white peonies, while the bridesmaids carried lavender roses accented with deeper purple lisianthus and dendrobium orchids. Contrasting with their elegant gray suits the groom wore white spray roses and the remaining men purple dendrobium orchid blossoms. Both sides of the aisle were lined with lavender rose petals.

The reception featured modern lines and lots of bling. The scene was set on the escort card table with a dramatic manzanita branch seated in a vase of purple hydrangea, stock, and roses with strands of crystals and hanging votives completing the design. Jeweled Gaylord National Resort wedding, anyone? The guest tables alternated between silver cylinder vases with hydrangea, stock, lisianthus, roses, and orchids in varying shades of purple and tall fluted silver vases with expressive arrangements of purple orchids and larkspur accented with deep blue delphinium. The head table was centered with three silver candelabra interspersed with the bouquets and small versions of the low table centerpieces. The jeweled Gaylord National Resort wedding was a sight to behold.

My social media is currently being populated with the news of Uranus leaving Taurus and what than means. I am certainly no expert astrologer, but if last weekend is a harbinger of things to come, it’s going to be a fantastic new period! We’ve weathered many challenges over the last eight years, things that have encouraged us to change and innovate, and Petal’s Edge is a stronger and more versatile company for it. 🥂

Oh the places we go! Working inside Folger Shakespeare Library is such a full circle moment for me. I once worked in art museums, so being back in a space like this (now with flowers?!) just makes me so happy. Truly honored to be part of this Friday’s gala 💫 , but in the meantime, here’s a throwback to last year’s event!

Time is not a florist’s friend. From the time this ever so perishable product arrives to when we set things up in meager timelines while dodging people - not to mention waiting for others to finish their part before we can start ours… Let’s just say it’s a challenge, but one we meet head on each week with ingenuity. Planning, pre-planning and even more planning. It’s not always sexy but it gets the job done.

Alexandra & Brian’s wedding at River Farm had that early summer, just-gathered feeling that never tries too hard but still feels completely considered. The palette stayed soft. Think pastel wildflowers with a little movement, nothing too tight or overly styled. Everything felt natural to the setting.⁣
⁣
The ceremony unfolded under the big tree with an arch that felt like it had grown there, loose and garden-inspired in shades of pale pink, light blue, cream, and lavender. It set the tone for the entire day.⁣
⁣
For the reception, long tables were filled all the way down with milk glass, blue mason jars, and pieces of depression glass, each one holding a slightly different mix of flowers. It created that full, abundant look that makes a space feel warm and inviting, while still leaving room for everything the evening needed to hold.⁣
Personal, relaxed, and quietly layered in a way that lets the setting - and the people in it - shine.⁣

It’s planning season for the Scout Guide launch party, and we couldn’t be more excited. 💃🏻

Any guesses on what we’ll see this year? 🤔
