You would have never have known by looking at the photos how Kaity and Ben’s wedding day started. Near torrential rains obscured visibility as we drove to the site. Alerts sounded on our phones with warnings of flash flooding. We got drenched loading into the site, and pools of water collected across the floor tent. But some how, the clouds opened up and the sun shone and to reveal a wonderful day! Throughout all the rain, Kaity and Ben maintained a playful and happy spirit.
And the flowers were just perfect. Kaity carried a bouquet of coral peonies, peach stock, coral roses, gardenia and white freesia, with freesia begin used for Ben’s boutonniere. The bridesmaids each carried simple bouquets of coral roses, which contrasted perfected with their navy dresses.
The ceremony took place under the tent, which had been dried out quickly after the rain stopped. Hedging their bets, the sides were opened up but guests were kept under the safety of the canopy *just in case*. Posies of peach stock and coral roses accented with lemon leaf foliage marked the aisle side chairs, each finished with a navy ribbon. Two lush arrangements in floor standing urns served as the focal point for the ceremony, each featuring coral peonies, white hydrangea, peach stock, roses in shades of coral and finished with rustic touches of Queen Anne’s lace, curly willow branches and green hanging amaranthus.
For the reception, rustic grapevine baskets held textured designs of white hydrangea, peach stock, coral roses and peonies, ivory spray roses and touches of Queen Anne’s lace and lemon leaf foliage. A burlap table runner enhanced the rustic, unspoiled feel of the reception. A similar design was placed on the escort card table in a bronze-finished urn, and a festive design of wedding flowers crown the cake.
