Colorful Fall Woodend Wedding

February 22, 2016

When asked what they had in mind for their wedding, Kristin and Saujan described the look as classic with a touch of bohemian, loose and organic, and with a color palette of rich oranges, yellows, reds, pinks and even a touch of blue. Whew! A lot of look, but their colorful Fall Woodend wedding came together beautifully. Kristin’s bouquet featured rich, warm hued Free Spirit roses, yellow ranunculus, orange dahlia, red spray roses, hot pink coxcomb, a mix of zinnia, and green millet accented with blue thistle and privet berries finished with loose touches of seeded eucalyptus and feathery burgundy agony foliage. Saujan’s boutonniere featured a mix of coxcomb and thistle accented with seeded eucalyptus. The bridesmaid’s wore navy dresses, while their bouquets featured similar loose textures and vibrant colors as the bridal flowers. Featuring a mix of Free Spirit roses, and ranunculus, dahlia, zinnia, coxcomb and spray roses in oranges, yellows, reds and pinks, the bouquets were accented with thistle, seeded eucalyptus and agonis. We really loved these elegant and detailed photos of the boutonnieres. Similar but simpler than Saujan’s boutonniere, the rest of the men wore blue thistle accented with seeded eucalyptus.

We love how, for the American ceremony, you can see many of the rich colors from the flowers in the guests’ choice of clothing. Though the ceremony didn’t include a great number of flowers aside from the bride and bridesmaids’ hand-held flowers, the guests rounded the decor in a sense to complement the colorful Fall Woodend wedding.

The colorful Woodend wedding reception featured vibrant low table arrangements across a room of pale linens paired with gold chairs and dark blue chair pads. The centerpieces featured gold glass footed bowl – the touch of classic the couple described – filled with lush, textured designs of yarrow, stock, roses and spray roses, ranunculus, dahlia, zinnia, coxcomb and millet in oranges, yellows, reds, and pinks finished with thistle, seeded eucalyptus and agonis foliage.

A chuppah like no other. ✨ For Lottie & Kyle’s wedding at the Hotel Monaco, we framed the ceremony with tall, airy designs of eucalyptus, larkspur and delphinium, while delicate strands of white dendrobium orchids floated from the canopy suspended between the rotunda columns. The result? A chuppah that felt ethereal, elegant, and completely one-of-a-kind. Don’t miss the next photo for a closer look at this dreamy design!

Love in full bloom - rain and all ☔️ ✨

Tamari & Zach embraced the romance of a rainy day ceremony at the historic Tudor Place, saying “I do” beneath clear umbrellas. Then they celebrated in the cozy, intimate setting of the Tabard Inn - with a warm floral palette of corals and oranges, the dreamiest Cafe au Lait dahlias, and proof that a little rain only adds to the magic.

A floral moment as timeless as Leah & Matt’s love. 🤍 Their intimate ceremony at Mount Vernon Inn featured a breathtaking circular arch of lush white roses—the perfect symbol of eternity. Inside, glass-enclosed taper candles set aside soft, full blooms filled the tables and set the scene for a romantic reception. Classic, elegant, and completely unforgettable. ⁣

G is for greenery 🌿, L is for lush ✨… you get the idea!

When it comes to statement-making florals, a well-placed garland can do it all—elevate long tables, frame a ceremony aisle, or even drape around a fountain for that effortlessly chic look. Who said greenery was just filler? 💅

Thank you to Megan and Damien for their 5 star review! We loved flowering and coordinating their beautiful wedding day at St. Francis Hall! ⁣

“We were so lucky that we found Petal`s Edge. Gorgeous flowers and we hired Gerry for her super talented day of wedding coordination. Planning a wedding is hard but Petal`s Edge made it easy. Beyond super beautiful florals that really elevated our day and made it special, it was such a huge help that any time I was stuck in the planning process, Gerry answered any question I had. Her professionalism and capabilities are simply unmatched. She knows everything about venues, vendors and more inside and out. Meetings to see your floral designs are super smooth. Petal`s Edge will write your contract super fast and easily helped us amend it. The day of the wedding couldn`t have been more perfect. It was so easy and fun. Petal`s Edge set everything up perfectly and make sure it ran smoothly. The florals were so beautiful!! I loved all of the details, from a stunning bridal bouquet, posies for moms and grandmas, framing the posters with eucalyptus, to gorgeous multicolored petals down the aisle. Our guests were so comfortable and well taken care of the whole night. Petal`s Edge really took the rustic/classic vision I had in mind and made it a gorgeous reality.”⁣

Industrial spaces have a beauty of their own, but the right floral design can take them from warehouse to urban garden. 🌿✨

For Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding, we played with scale—tall magnolia branches to emphasize the height, lush florals to soften the space, and candlelight to add warmth. The result? An urban oasis that felt both grand and intimate.

1️⃣Go Big with Greenery – Tall magnolia branches brought height and movement to Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding

2️⃣ Mix Textures – Lush, low floral arrangements softened the industrial edges while keeping the space dynamic

3️⃣ Layer Candlelight – Warm glows + metal details = a romantic urban oasis

4️⃣ Frame Key Spaces – A floral garland on the head table grounded the design and added intimacy. Trees flanking the table took it to the next level

5️⃣ Contrast is Key – Pairing the raw, industrial elements with soft florals and organic details created the perfect balance
