Mediterranean-Inspired Morrison House Wedding

Mediterranean-Inspired Morrison House Wedding

Mediterranean-inspired Morrison House wedding

It’s no secret that we love small wedding. Jennifer and Douglas’ wedding was just that, and even more! There are couples that you just hit it off with, and aside from the floral discussion, we discovered we had so much in common, what with world travels and inspiration from other countries. Jennifer wanted to keep a fairly classic palette of whites and greens with accents of plum, but at the same time, the couple wanted their Mediterranean-Inspired Morrison House wedding to infuse element reminiscent of Morocco, where they would be moving after the wedding. We used olive leaf with fruit on the branch (Yes! There were real olives in the arrangements!) as well as touches of rosemary for a nod to the tastes of the region. Jennifer’s bridal bouquet featured white dahlia, roses, lisianthus and stock, accented with plum ranunculus and the aforementioned olive leaf and rosemary.

The reception took place at the newly renovated Morrison House. We love the intimate dining room!

For the Mediterranean-Inspired Morrison House wedding reception, gold cylinder vases held lush, textured designs of white and ivory roses and spray roses, hydrangea, stock, lisianthus and dahlia accented with plum ranunculus, olive leaf, and rosemary. If you look closely, you can spy an olive or two on the branch.

Oh how we love a room shot…

Don’t get us wrong! Give us all the delicious little flower close-ups. We want to see every ruffly petal and perfect place setting.

But then BACK UP!

Because this is the moment we’ve been thinking about all along. How do those centerpieces fill the room? Where does your eye go first? Do the tall pieces actually feel tall beneath a 20-foot ceiling? 

Does the whole thing have rhythm?

Seeing all of those individual pieces finally come together into one beautiful room never, ever gets old.

Twenty-plus years in and we still get a little giddy about it.

Consider this your weekly pep talk. 💐
September, we’ve missed you!

September weddings get to have it both way:  Summer flowers are still hanging around. Dahlias are at their absolute BEST. And little hints of fall start making their way into our buckets. 

This is the month we start getting excited about foliage again. Berries, branches, grasses, pods, vines - all those slightly weird botanical things that make an arrangement more interesting!

Hello again, September!!
We're Pinteresting!
