Marina and Kosta’s wedding epitomized love of family and celebration. The large bridal party included eight bridesmaids and groomsmen! Set against a color scheme of peaches and creams, the gardenesque St Francis Hall wedding palette was rich with greens. Marina’s bouquet featured peach Juliet garden roses, Cafe au Lait dahlia, and roses and spray roses in whites finished with camellia, salal, seeded eucalyptus and jasmine vine foliage. The bridesmaids carried similar but smaller versions of the bridal bouquet. Kosta’s boutonniere matched the bride with a lush and open garden roses accented with seeded eucalyptus.
Greeting guests at the reception site, a rustic yet elegant bed of sheet moss covered the surface of the escort card table, accented with pink and ivory blossoms and mercury glass votives to complete the tableaux. It really spoke to the gardenesque St Francis Hall wedding vibe.
A mix of tall and low centerpieces set a dramatic scene at gardenesque St Francis Hall for the reception. The piece de resistance truly was the head table. A long, farmhouse-style table was graced with an elegant garland of salal and seeded eucalyptus, tucked with flowers and accented with glass-enclosed pillar candles. Finishing the look, bridesmaid bouquets were placed in vases along the length of the table.
The tall designs for the gardenesque St Francis Hall wedding featured an ornate cathedral-style candlestick. The old world-feeling stand elevated a lush, rounded design of hydrangea, roses, spray roses, stock, lisianthus, and dahlia in creams, peaches and pinks, and finished with a lush mix of camellia, salal, seeded eucalyptus, and jasmine vine. The low designs featured a garden urn filled with a festive mix of wedding flowers and greens, mimicking the colors and textures of the tall arrangements. The containers provided the perfect old world touch to the gardenesque St Francis Hall wedding.
