Classic Blue Wedding at Meridian House

Classic Blue Wedding at Meridian House

It was such an honor to work with Miriam and Ben, one of our first weddings of May, for an elegant classic blue wedding at Meridian House. The palette of shades of blue, grays and whites suited the site perfectly and allowed for a rich array of spring flowers. Miriam and Ben’s ceremony took place in the garden, surrounded by the natural beauty of the outdoors.  We loved the small white dendrobium orchids fashioned for Miriam’s hair. Miriam opted for color for her bouquet – a rich array of dark and light blue delphinium, blue muscari, gray succulents, silver dusty miller, and white ranunculus.  Her bridesmaids carried simpler bouquets in white – lisianthus, ranunculus and lisianthus – which contrasted with their deep blue dresses. Ben’s boutonniere complemented the blue from Miriam’s bouquet, while the rest of the men wore white lisianthus blossoms on their lapels.

An expressive design of blue delphinium, white dendrobium orchids and white snapdragons centered the escort card table, a striking welcome for the classic blue wedding at Meridian House. More intimate designs were placed on the dining tables. A classic, silver bowl held a rich, textured design of blue hydrangea, light and dark blue delphinium, blue muscari, gray succulents and dusty miller, and white stock and ranunculus.

Maybe green really is having its moment. Between the Yellow Brick Road yellows, the poppy-red anemones, and a reception drenched in layered greens, this Oz-inspired spring event felt like a preview of the color conversations designers are having now.

From emerald to chartreuse to the softest sage, green can be grounding, glamorous, or a little bit wild — sometimes all at once. And with the Wicked sequel stirring up the color world again, we’re curious…

Which shade is your leading character this season?
Let me go on record saying: when it comes to candles, especially in winter, more is more. 😉

Alexa, please play Christmas music. 

Too early? I confess. I’m a Thanksgiving purist. It’s literally my favorite holiday. But as a floral designer, I’m often living a season ahead. Thinking of spring when it’s winter, or fall in the heat of summer. And yes, plotting winter holiday decor when it’s Halloween (if not the 4th of July!)

But something about the quiet in the air today and news of snow in places nearby is all it took to awaken my holiday spirit and launch holiday planning mode! If it takes you more to get you in the mood, maybe Sonja & Mike’s Christmas wedding from a few years ago will do the trick!
