Botanical Garden Bouquets

Oh, how we wish for summer!  We loved this summer Missouri Botanical Gardens wedding.  The lush textures and soft, romantic blooms were so fun to design and arrange.  We combined roses, dahlias, stock flower, lisianthus, succulents, and three natural-looking greenery varieties to give our bride this look.  We are thinking warm and thinking weddings at our studio this week!!  Image by Megan Thiele Studios.

Your Fall Color Palette- How to add autumn without pumpkins and leaves

We love when autumn begins and we get to design with all the textures and colors that the season brings.  While we love rich gold and orange tones, fall flowers don't have to be limited to the traditional color palette.  Here are some examples we designed just in the last few weeks for clients who wanted an autumn feel without the pumpkins and fall leaves.

This bouquet featured seeded eucalyptus, a greenery that most people visually associate with fall.  We also used mums, another fall texture, but in a berry color instead of the traditional orange, yellow, or red.  The deep shades of berry and the fall textures give a sense of fall in non-traditional and beautiful way.

The mantle flowers for this event have the same berry tones, but with dark purple added.  The addition of the purple gives one more layer to the color palette while still representing the fall tones and textures of the season.

Don't be afraid to add neutral tones to fall.  Here, we added some white hydrangea in the background of this centerpiece that was primarily berry, burgundy, and purple.  With the fall magnolia and seeded eucalyptus for greenery, this has become one of our favorite new seasonal combinations.

You can even take the neutral tones one stem further by adding in some champagne and toning down the purple.  This bouquet still had magnolia and eucalyptus, but used the textures and buds of the blooms to invoke a fall feeling, even in a more subdued color palette.

These fun designs are a few of the numerous ways that autumn can be an element of your design, even if red, yellow, and orange aren't in your vision.

Wildflower Wedding in July

Hannah and Michael were married in July a few seasons ago at Kirkwood United Methodist Church.  Hannah loved the look of wildflowers for her wedding.  They wanted their day to be fun and joyful and wanted their flowers to reflect those feelings.  Here are the photos by Emily Wehling Photography.

Hannah's bouquet was a mix of loose, soft blooms including hydrangea, stock flower, lavender, dusty miller, and her favorite- Queen Anne's Lace.

The bridesmaids' flowers mimicked the same loose, garden-y feel that the bridal bouquet displayed.

Sweet flower girls carried little bouquets down the aisle too!

The boutonnieres were a mix of wildflower elements including lavender and berries.

Michael had groomsmen and groomsladies stand up for him.

Hannah's mom carried a small wildflower clutch of flowers down the aisle instead of wearing flowers.

The reception tables had vintage blue mason jars with more loose wildflowers.

All our best to Michael and Hannah!!

Spring Wedding at Moulin

The spring-like weather has made us reminisce about our favorite spring weddings.  Here is one from last May.  Patti and John enjoyed their wedding and reception at Moulin surrounded by family and friends.  Not only is Patti a former wedding vendor that we have worked closely with, but she is also a friend of the Sisters team.  We were so honored to be a part of their day.  Here are some images by SJ Macky Photography.

Shades of purple were used in all of the flowers for Patti and John.  Loose and textured seasonal blooms including stock flower and tulips were mixed with silver dusty miller greenery.

First look!

The ceremony was held in the Chouteau Room at Moulin.  Fabric draping and tall flowers pieces framed Patti and John during their vows.

After the ceremony, the guests moved upstarts to the Centennial Ballroom for the reception.  The tables were decorated in all lavenders and purples.  Two different centerpieces were used to give varying heights and designs to the tables.

All our best to the bride and groom!!  It was a pleasure!

May Wedding at Chandler Hill Winery

Shannon was such a sweet bride!  Her wedding day was so beautiful and full of fun details and a loving atmosphere.  She chose bright greens and peaches to soften her white flowers at the ceremony and reception held at Chandler Hill.  (Photos by Bliss 11)

Shannon's bridal bouquet was a soft clutch of peonies, stock flower, dahlias, and berries.  It was romantic, rustic, and vintage all at the same time.

 

We designed centerpieces that complemented the textures and tones of the bride's style as well as the venue.  Some of the tables had tall pieces with branches and the opposite tables had low mixes of bright and soft blooms.

We had such a fun time designing for and working on this wedding.  What a sweet couple!

Special Charms for a Bridal Bouquet

The wedding day of Melissa and Joe was full of special touches.  Here are some shots by Bolla Photography showing the vibrancy and beauty of their day.

The bouquets had fall tones with hints of lavender and white, still utilizing fall textures and shapes.

Melissa's bouquet featured small charms in memory of her loved ones.

Married bliss!

 Thanks to Melissa and Joe for letting us be a part of your day!  We wish you all the best!
