Country Wedding in Juniata County, PA

This country wedding had all the right touches. It was held in an adorable old church in the beautiful green rolling  hills of Mifflin, PA.  I added these whimsical wreaths to the front doors to greet guests.

Melisssa's bouquet was concentric circles of all white flowers....tulilps, veronica, Tibet roses and hydrangea. It was so lush and romantic.  Her two bridesmaids had garden style bouquets in shades of purple to match their flirty purple dresses and cowgirl boots! 



The reception centerpiece vases were ordered by the bride from Etsy with "M + M" carved into them. Adorable! I filled them with garden bouquets that looked as if they had been gathered from the field behind the hall. 

Hot Pink on a Sunny April Day

Jen wanted simple, but hot! All hot pinks put together for a bold, but romantic look.
Her bouquet was loaded with Hot Lady roses and Chanel alstromeria with a just a few miniature gerber daisies on the top to create a focal point.  I inserted a few dark plum beads into the centers of the roses to tie in the plum that the bridesmaids would be wearing.  Their bouquets were simple, cheerful clusters of gerber daisies. 

The two flower girls carried sweet pomanders adorned with butterflies that matched the hairclips I made for them...can't wait to see photos of them!

Jen's mother, Kim, was so excited to receive a bangle bracelet style corsage.  And the fathers wore hot pink rose boutonnieres.

 

Congratulations Jen and Dan!

Sentimental Spring Garden Wedding....

2013 Wedding Season started back in January for me, but it seems like the actual wedding season kicked off last weekend (April 20th) with this fun Spring-Garden style wedding. The ceremony was held at the Lutheran Church in New Kingston, PA. The reception followed at the Carlisle Ribbon Mill.  A perfect venue for a garden party theme with the amazing old wooden floors, brick walls, and wide open windows. The bride and her mother wanted to incorporate old furniture, jars and even favorite flowers to recognize the importance of family members.  We added stargazer lilies to the bride's bouquet because that is always what her fiance (now husband) gives her.  And I made a blue thistle corsage and boutonniere for the bride's grandparents because that is their special flower. The grandfather would pick them from the field and give them to his wife. I was told it brought tears to everyone's eyes when they heard the story behind these unique pieces!

 

 My simple tulip arrangements in mason jars were sweet on the colorful bandanas and street sign name markers provided by the bride's family. 
The swag I made for the Ribobn Mill doorway entrance into the cocktail room is probably one of my favorite ever. It looked like it had grown there! It was so much fun working with Brianna and her mom Leah...thanks!
