Caitlin and Brian’s Sensational Sunset Toned Wedding- Chiddingstone

Every florist dreams of one day getting that client who allows us to have some flexibility! Meet Caitlin, she was that bride last season. This dream of a bride to work with, is in my hall of fame for one of my most favorite brides- ever. We had worked with her good friend Whitney the summer before, so she was already familiar with our business. Caitlin even called me to be sure I was still available before she had to change the date of her wedding!!! Talk about a compliment, I’m still getting over that 🙂

Take a look at Caitlin’s friend, Whitney’s wedding at the Mills Estate.

What Caitlin did tell me was that she was a real fan of Cafe Au Lait Dahlias, but other than that she let me pick out her centerpiece containers, and coordinating ceremony flower holders. She also went along with my other ideas such as using a flower girl wand instead of a petal basket, adding galvanized tubs filled with flowers and a host of other designs, including her fresh picked boutonnieres and luxurious corsages. Caitlin’s memory table was just gorgeous! We used all types of lichen covered branches, paper birch branches, and driftwood (Caitlin loved the idea of using driftwood!). Once we had all of the rustic branch elements in place, we added completely blown open Roses, petals, mosses, and succulents to soften the look. Some of these roses were displayed in apothocary jars, adding even more detail to an already lovely tablescape.

In keeping with her relaxed, “do you thing, Heather” type of attitude, I was able to coax some of our beloved David Austin Roses into blooming just in time to make an appearance at the wedding! They were immediately tucked into her ceremony decor, and hung from the chairs. My hope was that she would be able to smell them as she walked down the aisle. I can still smell them when I look at these photos 🙂

Congratulations Caitlin and Brian we wish you all the very best!
