Putting a twist on the traditional is always great fun when working with flowers. And that is exactly what you’ll find with Kathy and Jim’s vintage wedding at DAR! While Kathy’s bridal bouquet might at first glance make classic use of peonies, roses, ranunculus and stock in whites and creams, it was finished with quirky accents like green echeveria, poppy seed pods, seeded eucalyptus and dusty miller for a hint of soft gray. The bridesmaids’ bouquet took a rustic turn, each woman carrying a simple design of baby’s breath wrapped in burlap and twine. The boutonnieres were fashioned from baby’s breath as well, with the groom’s boutonniere remaining more classic with a white lisianthus blossom accented with a poppy seed pod and gray dusty miller.
The vintage vedding at DAR ceremony took place in the corner of the portico with the Washington Monument in the background. Flanking the couple, two topiaries atop birch poles were filled with white and champagne garden flowers accented with elegant greens like boxwood, lemon leaf, jasmine vine, seeded eucalyptus, and dusty miller. The urns were filled with greenery and moss, spilling casually over the edge.
A bed of baby’s breath created a rustic surface on which the escort cards (and later the favor boxes) were placed. Blending vintage with organic for this DAR wedding, an array of milk glass containers were used both on the dinner tables as well as the fireplace mantle. Classic ivory, cream and champagne flowers such as hydrangea, roses, stock, ranunculus, and lisianthus were accented with green echeveria, dusty miller, and poppy seed pods.
