Tricia and Donny were just the sweetest couple, coming to us with visions of petal pinks, silver grays, and vintage chalkboard elements for their wedding. With this in mind, we crafted a scheme replete with silver candelabra, romantic textures and soft and subtle colors for their vintage pink Alexandria Wedding. Tricia’s bouquet was designed using light pink peonies, Mimi Eden spray roses, white lisianthus, pink ranunculus, and light pink astilbe accented with dusty miller foliage – the spray roses providing a pop of pink against the muted colors.
The bridesmaids’ each carried lush bouquets similar to the bridal but simpler. Their bouquets used light pink Sweet Eskimo roses, Mimi Eden spray roses, pink ranunculus, white lisianthus, and light pink astilbe finished with the same soft gray dusty miller.
The ceremony took place in The Alexandrian Hotel’s wonderful, enclosed courtyard, with strings of lights overhead. Two elegant silver candelabra flanked Tricia and Donny as they said their vows. Two rounded designs of hydrangea, stock, roses, spray roses, lisianthus, and astilbe in shades of pink and white accented with dusty miller and jasmine vine perched amidst the candelabra’s arms.
The reception featured a shabby chic elegance. Silver candelabra were centered on half the tables, dramatic lengths of crystal garland draping from each arm. Tall taper candles provided a hint of candlelight. For the low designs, a silver mercury glass bowl held pink and white hydrangea, stock, roses, spray roses, tulips, ranunculus and astilbe, once again finished with dusty miller. The cake was truly amazing, and finished with open pale pink blooms.
