When Denise first contacted me about her wedding florals, she was hoping to have us create clean, simple designs using all whites and greens. Her nuptials were to take place at the charming Rhinecliff Hotel, which has a lovely neutral palette throughout most of its interior; so the greens and whites seemed fitting to Denise. However after seeing the image of our vintage toned bouquet on our website’s home page, she later decided she was more interested in creating her entire wedding around those colors. (I realize I have left that same photo up on my website for ages now, but it really seems to appeal to so many of our brides, that I really hesitate to remove it.)
As the planning process continued, we eventually all agreed on using lots of vintage toned roses, (many of which were California grown!); a few Orchids, white Irises, and Lily Grass accents to reflect the venue’s beautiful location, right on the water. Although Denise liked the soft vintage color scheme, we were very careful to still keep everything clean and modern looking.
Denise decided to have us create a candlescape on the normally unadorned mantle at the Rhinecliff. To tie in the vintage toned flowers, we used a combination of modern glass candle stick holders and cake stands, but we paired them with many of our vintage diamond cut crystal and hobnail accessories and vases. We backed it all with one of our whitewashed mirrors. To further enhance her beautiful centerpieces, Denise rented our mosaic mirror chargers, which were the perfect match to the reflective crystal and glass elements everywhere else. This was an exceptionally lovely wedding. Denise and Eric even donated the flowers to area charities afterward!
Congratulations Denise and Eric!!!
