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!

My social media is currently being populated with the news of Uranus leaving Taurus and what than means. I am certainly no expert astrologer, but if last weekend is a harbinger of things to come, it’s going to be a fantastic new period! We’ve weathered many challenges over the last eight years, things that have encouraged us to change and innovate, and Petal’s Edge is a stronger and more versatile company for it. 🥂

Oh the places we go! Working inside Folger Shakespeare Library is such a full circle moment for me. I once worked in art museums, so being back in a space like this (now with flowers?!) just makes me so happy. Truly honored to be part of this Friday’s gala 💫 , but in the meantime, here’s a throwback to last year’s event!

Time is not a florist’s friend. From the time this ever so perishable product arrives to when we set things up in meager timelines while dodging people - not to mention waiting for others to finish their part before we can start ours… Let’s just say it’s a challenge, but one we meet head on each week with ingenuity. Planning, pre-planning and even more planning. It’s not always sexy but it gets the job done.

Alexandra & Brian’s wedding at River Farm had that early summer, just-gathered feeling that never tries too hard but still feels completely considered. The palette stayed soft. Think pastel wildflowers with a little movement, nothing too tight or overly styled. Everything felt natural to the setting.⁣
⁣
The ceremony unfolded under the big tree with an arch that felt like it had grown there, loose and garden-inspired in shades of pale pink, light blue, cream, and lavender. It set the tone for the entire day.⁣
⁣
For the reception, long tables were filled all the way down with milk glass, blue mason jars, and pieces of depression glass, each one holding a slightly different mix of flowers. It created that full, abundant look that makes a space feel warm and inviting, while still leaving room for everything the evening needed to hold.⁣
Personal, relaxed, and quietly layered in a way that lets the setting - and the people in it - shine.⁣

It’s planning season for the Scout Guide launch party, and we couldn’t be more excited. 💃🏻

Any guesses on what we’ll see this year? 🤔
