Pastel wedding portraits in Old Town

With its fresh and sunny color palette and a vintage garden aesthetic, Keeley and Jonny’s pastel wedding at The Alexandrian was a stunning celebration of love! Keeley’s elegant bridal bouquet was a study in soft pastels. The wide array of featured blooms included peach Juliet garden roses, Cafe au Lait dahlia, light pink spray roses, white stock, light blue delphinium, and pale yellow roses, accented with variegated small leaf pittosporum foliage. The finished design was full of texture and cheer.

 

Her bridesmaids carried smaller and simpler, yet similar, pastel wedding bouquets of peach roses, Cafe au Lait dahlia, white stock, light pink spray roses, and light blue delphinium, accented with variegated small-leaf pittosporum.

The groom’s boutonnière we created for Jonny showcased a festive yellow rose finished with small leaf pittosporum. For the rest of the boutonnières, we substituted an ivory rose.

The couple exchanged vows in a sweet ceremony in The Alexandrian’s courtyard. We had a wonderful time creating a striking focal point for their nuptials, with a design that evoked a magical garden. The couple’s pastel wedding arch was framed with a lush garland of variegated ivy foliage, rimming the top edge and trailing delicately along the sides. The top of the arch was accented with a romantic garden mix of Cafe au Lait dahlia, peach roses, light pink and ivory spray roses, white stock, and light blue delphinium. Accents of hearty southern smilax completed the effect.

After the “I do’s,” guests found their place cards at an escort table festooned with three vintage mint glass containers of varying sizes with a richly textured design of white hydrangea, peach stock, peach roses, light pink spray roses, light blue delphinium, light pink astilbe, and touches of variegated small
pittosporum foliage.

Keeley’s and Jonny’s family and friends then sat down to a wonderful meal al fresco in the courtyard. Half the tables were anchored with a glass cylinder vase filled with a richly textured pastel wedding flower design of white hydrangea, peach stock, Cafe au Lait dahlia, peach roses, light pink astilbe, light pink spray roses, light blue delphinium, and variegated small leaf pittosporum and seeded eucalyptus foliage. The other tables featured glass cylinder vases that held the bridesmaids’ beautiful bouquets.

The happy couple shared their first meal as husband and wife at a sweetheart table adorned with Keeley’s bridal bouquet.

Keeley’s and Jonny’s wedding was filled with soft color, romantic blooms and plenty of love! Thanks for including us as part of it!

Let me go on record saying: when it comes to candles, especially in winter, more is more. 😉

Alexa, please play Christmas music. 

Too early? I confess. I’m a Thanksgiving purist. It’s literally my favorite holiday. But as a floral designer, I’m often living a season ahead. Thinking of spring when it’s winter, or fall in the heat of summer. And yes, plotting winter holiday decor when it’s Halloween (if not the 4th of July!)

But something about the quiet in the air today and news of snow in places nearby is all it took to awaken my holiday spirit and launch holiday planning mode! If it takes you more to get you in the mood, maybe Sonja & Mike’s Christmas wedding from a few years ago will do the trick!

The season for sparkle begins. ✨ From Thanksgiving dinners to New Year’s soirées, November is when party plans come to life — and our design calendar shifts from bouquets to ballrooms.

Our installation at the Watergate Hotel mixed metallics and white roses in sculptural form - proof that holiday design can be both organic and glamorous. Because at its core, festivity is about transformation: turning a space into a feeling, a table into a gathering, and light into warmth.
