It’s always a pleasure when we get to work with families again, and this was very much the case with Kate and Nick’s vibrant fall Mayflower wedding. We had worked with Kate’s sister, Christine, on the flowers for her wedding three years prior, and their mother worked with our accountant. Small world!
Kate and Nick chose a palette of soft oranges, peaches and pinks for the wedding, with the color then amped up a notch for the reception. Kate carried a classic, white bouquet of roses, mini-calla lilies, and cymbidium and dendrobium orchids, the lip of pink on the orchids adding a touch of color to the bouquet. In contrast to the bridal bouquet, the bridesmaids bouquets were rich in sorbet toned orchids, calla lilies, lisianthus, roses, and spray roses. The vibrant color palette was carried through in the ceremony decor at St. John’s Church.
The Grand Ballroom is a stately place to have a reception, with a two-story height, grand chandeliers and ornate fixtures throughout. The vibrant fall Mayflower wedding took advantage of these features with tall designs on half the table. Each featured hot pink and orange mokara orchids, larkspur, snapdragons, and hints of curly willow branches, while for the low designs, a gold bowl held lush, textured hot pink and orange hydrangea, stock, roses, dahlia, and calla lilies – both designs a blend of classic and contemporary. Wedding flowers in shades of pink and orange crowned the top of the cake with additional clusters strategically placed on the tiers.
