Kate and Nick exchanged vows and celebrated their marriage in a beautiful wedding at Josephine Butler Parks Center, and we were thrilled to be part of it! The couple chose a soft palette of whites and ivories with a touch of light blue, for a classic Josephine Butler Parks Center wedding.
For the ceremony, Kate carried a French hand-tied bouquet of white peonies, ivory garden roses, white lilac and Queen Anne’s lace, accented with light blue delphinium and variegated ivy. Many of the same blooms were incorporated into the bouquets carried by the bridesmaids and groomswomen. Meanwhile, Nick’s boutonniere was created from an ivory rose footed with ivy leaves, and the groomsmen’s boutonnieres incorporated light blue delphinium florets with the ivy leaves. Loose sprigs of baby’s breath, which complemented Kate’s style perfectly, were tucked into her hair.
We adored this couple’s emphasis on exquisite ceremony flowers. A lush wreath of white hydrangea, white stock, light blue delphinium, Queen Anne’s lace, ivory roses and spray roses, and white lisianthus served as a focal point, while striking altar arrangements of similar flowers flanked the ceremony area. We draped an elegant garland of variegated ivy foliage along the podium banisters, and decked both sides of the aisle with pew posies made from ivory roses, Queen Anne’s lace, and light blue delphinium.
At the classic Josephine Butler Parks Center wedding reception, guest tables were decorated with centerpieces of white hydrangea, ivory garden roses, ivory spray roses, white stock, Queen Anne’s lace, light blue delphinium and variegated ivory, displayed in a mix of glass cylinder vases or a trio of glass rectangular vases in varying heights and accented with votive candles. The four beautiful fireplace mantels each were graced with long and low arrangements of white and blue wedding flowers enhanced with draping variegated and bush ivies, cocculus, and Italian ruscus.
This breathtaking wedding and its light, summery color palette has us looking forward to the warmer weather ahead, and many more opportunities to celebrate our wonderful couples’ love! Congratulations to Kate and Nick!
