Whimsical Meridian House Wedding

A beautiful early May day, rustic touches, and soft pastels created the love-filled, romantic backdrop for Liz and Juan’s whimsical Meridian House wedding. (Have we mentioned yet how much we love this place?) The ceremony took place in the House’s beautiful gardens. White wood chairs were lined up facing the main planting bed, the aisle side chairs accented with lush bouquets of lavender finished with burlap ribbon.

Liz carried a bouquet of white peonies, stock, ranunculus, spray roses, and tulips accented with Anna roses for a blush of pink and touches of lavender. The bridesmaids carried similar but simpler bouquets. For a rustic touch, the bouquets were all wrapped in rustic burlap. We love the distinct soft pastel tones of each of the bridesmaids’ dresses! Juan wore a white ranunculus blossom to match Liz’s bouquet. As guests proceeded to the Linden Grove for the cocktail hour, they were greeted with festive white paper lanterns strung amidst the trees.

For the reception, lush and ethereal arrangements of baby’s breath graced the escort card table in a grand, hand blown glass vase. Completing the scheme for the whimsical Meridian House wedding were petite vases wrapped in burlap and lace for the reception tables, each filled with poufs of baby’s breath.

Woodlawn & Pope Leighey House just feels like magic every single time. The historic architecture, the lush grounds, the intimacy of it all... we fall in love with it over and over again. And the tent? Hold my cocktail. 🍸 ⁣

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.⁣
