Summery Yellow River Farm Wedding

Brigid and Alex really had one of the most picture perfect summery yellow River Farm wedding days. Sunny yellows mixed with cool grays for the color palette, and the whimsical infusion of fruit in the centerpieces added just a touch of casual playfulness.

Brigid carried a beautiful bouquet of ivory roses, yellow and white mini-calla lilies and white freesia accented with dusty miller for a touch of gray. The bridesmaids carried flowers in shades of yellow – roses, calla lilies, freesia – accented with dusty miller, just a shade lighter than their gray dresses. The groom wore a white mini-calla lily and the rest of the men yellow. The clean and crisp modern simplicity highlighted the contrast between the yellows and grays of the wedding palette.

At the summery yellow River Farm wedding reception, guests were greeted with a sea of gently swaying white and gray paper lanterns hanging from the tent poles. Table centerpieces alternated between glass cylinder vases and clusters of pint size mason jars, each lined with lemon slices. The vases held flowers in varying shades of yellow, whether featured monobotanically or in a textured mix – stock, yarrow, freesia, and roses. Together with the rattan chargers and brown wood chairs, it made for a fresh, summer casual fete!

Roses may dominate Valentine’s Day, especially the red ones. But anthurium? She’s the modern muse.⁣
⁣
Heart-shaped, glossy, and sculptural, anthurium comes in creamy whites, ballet pinks, coral, chocolate, even deep oxblood. It symbolizes love and abundance, but with an editorial edge that feels fresh and fashion-forward.⁣
⁣
No wonder it’s had a major glow-up in recent years. Romantic, but make it art. 💘⁣

Petal’s Edge didn’t always do Valentine’s Day.

The pandemic made one thing very clear: we couldn’t build a thriving business around one season or one type of event. Expanding beyond weddings wasn’t dramatic. It was just smart. It pushed us to think differently, to design differently, and to show up for our clients in more moments than just the aisle.

The shift felt natural because we are love junkies at heart. After years of creating wedding days, bringing that same intention to Valentine’s bouquets, anniversary surprises, and birthday deliveries was an easy extension of what we already do.

One of my favorite things is seeing a past couple’s name pop up in our orders, or a family member calling to celebrate a couple whose wedding we flowered years ago. (Or even a panicked Saturday email asking if we can help.) That continuity, that trust, that full-circle moment… it never gets old.

Valentine’s Day is this week. If you’ve been meaning to send something beautiful, this is your nudge. 💗 😘 Order online at ShopPetalsEdge.com

Beautiful spaces exist everywhere. You can book a great restaurant or walk into a well-designed hotel any day of the week. But what is it about weddings that feel so extraordinary? Yes, love is the obvious answer. Of course. But truly, when else in your life do you find yourself surrounded by flowers?!?! A wedding is one of those few moments we decide that a single day is worthy of transformation. To fill the room with a most fleeting and precious medium - flowers - knowing they’re here just long enough to make the moment unforgettable.

In discussing final changes, one of our couples had a note of hesitation in her voice, worried her palette might set a different mood than intended. Not seasonal enough? Too austere?

But here’s the thing: mood can be a matter of perspective. Which brings us to this wedding: once upon a time, orange was typecast as a strictly fall color. But flowers don’t follow rules. They bloom wildly, confidently, year-round! There are orange flowers in every season and in recent years, we’ve seen orange blooms show up to spring weddings, as warm oranges at summer soirées, and of course they’re still the favored guest at autumn affairs. Each time, the hue brings something fresh. Joy. Energy. That just-right edge.

Your color story should feel like you. In fact, for Olivia & David’s wedding, our bride’s mother shared that the color palette had been the one in her daughter’s childhood bedroom. A vibrant floral story that she had been living with all along. That’s what flowers can do. Pull memories forward, stitch generations together and turn a wedding into something deeply personal. And if it happens to challenge a few outdated ideas? Even better. 😉
