Summer Wildflower River Farm Wedding

September 26, 2016

Alexandra and Brian married on a beautiful June day at River Farm. The summer wildflower River Farm wedding was truly intimate and filled with personal touches. It was especially wonderful for us to provide day of event management in addition to the flowers as the bride’s father is our landlord Charley Varipapa’s brother! The vision for the wedding was understated with a palette of pastel wildflowers. Alexandra’s bouquet featured a mix of light pink stock and astilbe, light blue delphinium, craspedia, solidago, purple lisianthus and touches of lavender and mint. A circlet of light pink wax flower was fashioned for Alexandra’s hair. Brian wore a boutonniere of light blue delphinium and light pink astilbe. The wedding party was similarly intimate, kept to family cousins and Alexandra and Brian’s daughter, who wore a matching crown of light pink wax flower. The three flower girls wore crowns of light blue delphinium, white lisianthus, light pink astilbe, and accents of lavender.

The ceremony took place in front of the large tree at River Farm. A stunning arch served as the focal point for the ceremony, designed using curly willow branches and salal, delphinium, stock, lisianthus, solidago, astilbe, spray roses, and Queen Anne’s lace in shades of pale pink, light blue, cream, purple and white. The ceremony was officiated by a family friend from their years at Episcopal High School.

For the reception, two long tables featured an eclectic mix of milk glass, depression glass and blue mason jars filled with a palette of pastel wildflowers. Individually inscribed place cards directed people to their seats.

A ceremony with storybook charm, brought to life with lush florals and dreamy textures. 🌾 ✨ Watch as this deconstructed arch takes shape - layered with pampas grass and blooms in rich toffee, mustard and sage hues for a perfect blend of Art Nouveau romance and bohemian elegance.

Stuck on your floral color palette? Don’t stress - we’ve got you covered! Choosing colors for your wedding can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Here’s three easy tips to get started:

1. Look in your closet. Seriously! You know more about color theory than you think. Some colors just click together - and click with you! Think about the colors you wear & love.

2. Grab a color wheel for inspiration. Play around with ideas. Mix and match until you see a palette that makes your heart skip a beat. Need to see more colors? Paint swatches can help make the process visual.

3. Build out your palette. All colors don’t have to be in your flowers only. Think of flowers, linens, paper products, even candles as your cast. Once you have 2-3 main colors, layer in complementary tones to add depth. Love blush? Add mauve and peach for a romantic vibe!

The grand staircase at the stunning Perry Belmont House was transformed into a dreamy focal point for Natacha & Chris` wedding with lush greenery and twinkling fairy lights, creating a jaw-dropping first impression for guests. ✨ ⁣

Inside, the florals were a bold symphony of burgundy, scarlet, fuchsia, and peach, perfectly complementing the rich gold and red tones of the parlor rooms. This design struck the perfect balance between timeless elegance and vibrant drama.⁣
