Taylor & Mark 🤍🌿
Taylor and Mark’s wedding is such a beautiful example of how you can create a lush floral look while still being thoughtful about where you invest in fresh flowers.
For their August ceremony, we created a full ground arch using silk hydrangeas in soft white and green tones. Silk was such a beautiful and cost effective option for this design, especially during one of the warmer months of the year. It allowed us to create that full, overflowing hydrangea look outdoors without worrying about the flowers wilting in the heat.
Matching hydrangea arrangements lined both sides of the aisle, creating a soft floral pathway leading Taylor toward the waterfront and the beautiful ground arch where Mark was waiting for her. 🤍
Throughout the wedding, we used a mix of silk and fresh hydrangeas, carrying those same white and green tones into the reception. Matching hydrangea centerpieces filled the guest tables and were paired with layers of candlelight, tying everything back to the ceremony. One of our favorite details was their es**rt card table. Instead of doing a traditional seating chart, we filled different compote dishes with hydrangeas and placed each guest’s es**rt card directly into the arrangements. It became its own little floral moment where guests could stop, enjoy the flowers, find their name, and then make their way to their seat. 🌿
Mixing fresh and silk flowers can be such a great way to make the most of a floral budget without sacrificing that lush look, especially for outdoor summer weddings. Choosing where fresh flowers will have the most impact and where high quality silks can do the job just as beautifully allows the design to stay full and cohesive from one part of the wedding to the next. 🤍✨
