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.

December has been a whirlwind. Weddings. Holiday parties. Installing holiday décor around town. The kind of month where the days blur and the studio never quite sleeps.

But one of the most meaningful moments has come through our involvement with Wish Upon a Wedding, an organization that grants weddings and vow renewals to couples facing serious illness or life-altering circumstances.

At the Citizen Ballroom, we helped bring Tiffianni & Minerva’s vow renewal to life. Their vision was unapologetically floral. A sweeping staircase installation layered in greenery. Flowers in saturated shades of fuchsia and purple. A lush deconstructed floral arch that framed their vows and later their sweetheart table. Tables glowed with flowers, candles, and lamps. The temperature may have been in the teens outside but inside was only warmth and light rooted in love. 

We began this year donating flowers to laid-off federal employees and end it celebrating Tiffianni & Minerva. Because this year hasn’t just been about decorating spaces. It’s about lifting spirits with flowers and helping to mark moments in meaningful ways.
