Gardens at Malmaison Wedding with Burns Photography

Lauren and Jack got married last summer at UMSL Provincial Chapel with a garden reception at St. Alban's. Here are some of the lovely photographs of the day by Burns.



The colors for the wedding and reception were ivory and shades of pinks and greens.

Lauren's bouquet had roses, peonies, berries and stephanotis.

The white hydrangea aisle clusters from the church were re-used to make these lush centerpieces at the reception.

Many happy year to the bride and groom!! Thanks to Burns Photography for these awesome images!

Lush Greenery

Recent trends in flowers for weddings and parties have been leaning more towards clean lines and very little, if any, greenery. While that look can be very beautiful and classic, here is an example of how greenery can be used in fun, unique, and interesting ways.

Laura and Robert were married in September at UMSL Provincial Chapel. Laura LOVED texture and greenery. She wanted all of her bouquets to be lush with greenery and minimalistic on the flower blooms.

The bridal bouquet included white dendrobium orchids, white lilies, white freesia, and waxflower filler. The different types of greenery really made the whole bouquet comes together. We used variegated pitt, fern, and variegated hosta leaves. The brown, curly accents, or monkey tail, really added even more interest to the already texture rich bouquet.

The bridesmaids' bouquets were very similar to the bridal bouquet. They used lots of mixed greenery and monkey tail as well as minimal white flowers.

At the church, different types of greenery, including variegated hosta leaves and Italian ruscus, were clustered to decorate the pews.

The reception was held at Greenbriar Hills Country Club. All the table decorations were rustic-looking urns filled to the brim with lush greens of all shapes and textures, with a little white filler accent.

The urns included several different types of greenery--variegated pitt and hosta leaves, Italian ruscus, magnolia leaves, fern, lily grass, and hanging amaranthus. More monkey tail and lotus pods were used to bring in brown accents.

We had a lot of fun designing the pieces for this wedding! It was so great to incorporate greenery in unusual ways to give the whole wedding a very earthy and gardeny look!

Best wishes to Laura and Robert!!

Lovely Lilacs

Chasity is one of our brides who was married on May 3rd. Take a look at how we used lilacs in her bouquet and tied the lilac color all the way through to the reception.

Chasity's bouquet included lavender hydrangea tucks, purple lilac, white stargazer lilies, lavender roses, and jade berries. What a perfect combination for spring!

The bridesmaids' bouquets carried through the lavender/lilac color with the added touch of orange spray roses and the jade berries from the bridal bouquet.

The purples and oranges made a great contrast for all the wedding party flowers.


Lavender hydrangea clusters lined the aisle at UMSL Provincial Chapel.

The hydrangea clusters helped give the gorgeous bride a grand entrance.

The altar was framed by two trumpet vases filled with all the wedding flowers; hydrangea, roses, berries, etc.

Purple, orange, and green were seen again at the reception.

Two different centerpieces were used on the guest tables. Half were these tall trumpet vases with tall curly willow and lavender hydrangea at the the base.

The other half had these low arrangements with green hydrangea, purple roses, and orange spray roses.

Thanks to Sabrina with Proposing Dreams for coordinating yet another beautiful event! Wishes of happiness to the bride and groom from all of us at Sisters!!
