Rustic Elegance at St. Francis Hall

Rustic elegance at St. Francis Hall

We recently had the privilege of designing a St. Francis Hall wedding for Allie and Bud that blended rustic elegance with classic charm. The result was nothing short of magical.

Allie’s bridal bouquet was a testament to refined taste, featuring soft neutrals complemented by sage greens. A romantic ensemble of white peonies, Quicksand and Juliet garden roses, and ivory spray roses were accented with delicate white tweedia and eucalyptus foliage for a touch of whimsy. The muted tones were a canvas for a love story in full bloom, wrapped in ivory double-faced satin ribbon.

Dramatic arrangements on pedestals framed the ceremony area with style. Each held a dramatic white urn with a lofty design of baby blue, silver dollar, and seeded eucalyptus accented with peach stock, Quicksand roses, ivory spray roses, and white larkspur added layers of elegance. The rustic touch of white spirea branches lent an earthy charm, perfectly complementing the venue’s romanesque architecture. Lining the aisle, a lush smilax treatment was interwoven with clusters of glass-enclosed pillar candles to cast a warm and inviting glow.

The reception was testament to the power of flowers to weave a romantic story. Round tables featured gold Harlow stands with lush, expressive designs with three varieties of eucalyptus, peach stock, Quicksand roses, ivory spray roses, white larkspur and white spirea branches. Our favorite gold Lita compotes held rich designs of white hydrangea, peach stock, Juliet garden roses, Quicksand roses and ivory spray roses complemented with eucalyptus. For the long tables, garland of salal and seeded eucalyptus extended gracefully, punctuated with gold julep cups filled with a curated selection of roses finished with parvifolia and seeded eucalyptus foliage. Completing the look, white glass-enclosed pillar candles of varying heights bathed the tables in a soft, romantic light. The effect was to create an environment of rustic elegance at St. Francis Hall.

Thank you to Allie and Bud for trusting us with your vision for a perfect wedding day. May many years of happiness together fill your future.

Anything better than classic vibes? ✨ 

My favorite moment? Transferring the aisle garland studded with white blooms to the urn alcove for a dramatic moment in the tent.

A palette pulled straight from a glass of bourbon. 🥃

Sculptural calla lilies, trailing amaranthus, grapes and peaches. Modern, organic, a little decadent, and just a little moody.

Designed for Basil Hayden, and proof that sometimes the most interesting thing you can put in a floral arrangement isn’t a flower.

We loved working with @basilhayden to bring this together.
