Rustic Spring Wedding

Rustic Spring Wedding

Ann and Matthew couldn’t have asked for a more perfect spring day for their rustic spring wedding this past April at Adelphi Mill.  The weather gods truly smiled on them with blue skies, not a rain cloud in sight, and gorgeous temperatures for their outdoor ceremony. Ann looked simply stunning in her lace strapless gown.

Ann’s bouquet of roses, tulips, and lisianthus in romantic shades of lavender and purple were paired with herbal lavender and fiddlehead fern curls for an organic and wooded touch.  Matt’s boutonniere was the perfect match, designed using a lavender rose accented with lavender and fiddlehead fern curls.  The wedding party’s flowers continued the soft, spring lavender hues, using roses and tulips – complementing but not competing with the shades and textures of Ann’s bouquet.

The rustic spring wedding ceremony took place in a wooded grove on the grounds.  Ann and Matthew spent the month leading up to the wedding crafting paper cranes in shades of blue, silver and white, some of which were used to decorate the rustic and natural focal point fashioned from curly willow branches. The tables for the reception featured a classic, purple pin tuck linen, which provided a rich, colorful backdrop for the simple and rustic elegance of mason jars that held simple arrangements of hydrangea and tulips in green and white.  A whimsical canopy of paper lanterns and paper crane garlands suspended from the ceiling finished the look inside the Mill.

G is for greenery 🌿, L is for lush ✨… you get the idea! 

When it comes to statement-making florals, a well-placed garland can do it all—elevate long tables, frame a ceremony aisle, or even drape around a fountain for that effortlessly chic look. Who said greenery was just filler? 💅

Industrial spaces have a beauty of their own, but the right floral design can take them from warehouse to urban garden. 🌿✨ 

For Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding, we played with scale—tall magnolia branches to emphasize the height, lush florals to soften the space, and candlelight to add warmth. The result? An urban oasis that felt both grand and intimate.

1️⃣Go Big with Greenery – Tall magnolia branches brought height and movement to Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding

2️⃣ Mix Textures – Lush, low floral arrangements softened the industrial edges while keeping the space dynamic

3️⃣ Layer Candlelight – Warm glows + metal details = a romantic urban oasis

4️⃣ Frame Key Spaces – A floral garland on the head table grounded the design and added intimacy. Trees flanking the table took it to the next level 

5️⃣ Contrast is Key – Pairing the raw, industrial elements with soft florals and organic details created the perfect balance

Not all green and white floral palettes are created equal. This one here will NEVER go out of style and is truly as timeless as they come! Magnolia, eucalyptus, rosemary, and delicate touches of white… Add velvet linens and gold touches, and we’re smitten... 😍
