Colorful Fall Meadowlark Wedding

Colorful Fall Meadowlark Wedding

We absolutely love color! Give us all the deep reds, the colorful corals, the rich oranges and we are in heaven. Pair it with some texture, and we are simply giddy! So you can imagine how much we adored Lesley and Mark’s colorful fall Meadowlark wedding. Rescheduled from the spring thanks to Covid, with small tweaks to the color palette, it was just as beautiful as originally planned.

Lesley’s bouquet was a riot of color, featuring a sumptuous mix of garden roses, dahlia, ranunculus, scabiosa and astilbe in rich reds, peaches and oranges, accented with lots of texture – scabiosa pods, nandina foliage, eucalyptus and parvifolia. Each of the bridesmaids’ and junior bridesmaids’ bouquets picked up on the palette – a rich mix perfect for a colorful fall Meadowlark wedding. Mark’s boutonniere was designed using a perfect red ranunculus blossom accented with astilbe.

Overlooking the vast gardens, ceremonies at Meadowlark don’t often need a lot of adornment. Providing the perfect complement to their colorful fall Meadowlark wedding were two sets of pedestals of graduated heights featuring birch bark containers filled with wedding flowers in shades of red, coral, peach and orange accented with lush greens.

For the reception, centerpieces featured a pop of color. Dahlia, stock, garden roses and spray roses, ranunculus and astilbe were paired with a rich mix of eucalyptus foliages in birch bark containers for a stunning turn at a colorful fall Meadowlark wedding. Flowers were further accented with gold mercury glass votives. And as a finishing touch, check out the adorable cake!

It was such a pleasure to work with Lesley and Mark! We wish them many years of marital bliss. Judging from the photos, we foresee many years of laughter and glee.

No, ma’am. That’s not how any of this works… 

💐✨ Wedding flower myths? We’ve heard them all. ✨

“You can just reuse the _____ flowers.”
“Faux flowers look the same.”
“Greenery is cheap, right?”

We get it. Planning a wedding comes with a lot of well-meaning advice. But when it comes to flowers, there’s a big difference between a cost-saving hack and a costly mistake.

At Petal’s Edge, we design with intention, experience, and artistry. We’re not here to upsell. We’re here to guide you through what works, what doesn’t, and what’s actually worth it. Because your flowers should feel just as thoughtful as the rest of your wedding. 🌿💐
Forget “Something Borrowed’. Seriously - have you ever seen such a stunning and tasteful incorporation of blue tones in a wedding? We brought a playful twist on “Something Blue’ into Wendy & Erik’s wedding day at @willard_intercontinentaldc With touches of blue Chinoiserie vases, not to mention other blue touches like ribbons and bridesmaid dresses, the blush and ivory floral palette of all blended perfectly together! Cheers to a beautiful day as magnificent as the happy couple!

This moment. This backdrop. Nicole & Cina’s wedding ceremony at the Reagan International Trade Building was a masterclass in modern romance. White petals lined the aisle while a copper-painted square arch framed our couple in soft waves of white + green blooms. The final touch? The bride + her bridesmaids perfectly poised beneath the arch—one of those “stop scrolling” moments we’ll never tire of. Timeless, effortless, unforgettable.
