Check out this dusty blue wedding at Tennessee RiverPlace in Chattanooga, that was featured in Southern Bride Magazine! The entire venue is situated right on the banks of the Tennessee River, with the mountains positioned as the most perfect natural blue-green backdrop to the ceremony. For this reason, my favorite is a smoky blue color for a wedding here at the Tennessee RiverPlace. On several occasions when setting up, I have been accompanied by several ducks passing by in the field behind the arbor. How perfect, right?

Burgundy Fall Wedding at Howe Farms
When I met with Hannah almost a year ago, I sat and drank coffee with her, and felt like I was chatting with an old friend. She went to my alma matter (shout out Lee University) and I loved every single ideal she had for her wedding flowers and decor. It was clear we had a lot in common.
Colorful Wedding Theme from this Vibrant Ceremony
A few weeks ago, we worked with something that we’re not very used to these days…COLOR!!! Lots and lots of COLOR! Right now, the color trend in weddings is very soft and muted. We often get asked to do blush, white, and/or ivory blooms, with a ton of greenery. Don’t get me wrong, I like a soft color pallet for a wedding. But when I sat down with this super sweet couple to talk about their wedding, the brides eyes lit up while we looked at her colors and ideas for flowers. Due to her Latin heritage, it was clear she wasn’t a “Blush and Bashful” bride, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to work with all these gorgeous blooms! This spectacular wedding is sure to give you all the great ideas for your colorful wedding theme!

This was a wedding we did the flowers for last May, and I wanted to add it to my blog because I love the way the photography turned out, and the pictures of the bridal bouquet are just too good to not share! The bride was on a little bit of a budget (aren’t we all), and had the additional challenge of a large wedding party and guest count. We chose to splurge on the bridal bouquet, and do modest arrangements for the rest of the bridal party and centerpieces. Since this was a laid back barn venue, I think the combination and boho wild style fit perfectly.

Classic Wedding Flowers | UTC’s Patten Chapel in Chattanooga, Tennessee
I wanted to post this wedding from last year’s wedding season, because I loved the beautifully dramatic cascading bouquet, with the classic mixture of white blooms with simple greenery. The bride asked for the length of the bouquet to be extreme…and that it was. When I delivered it, I assured her that if it were TOO MUCH, we could always scale it back. Her eye lit up, and she answered, “no it’s perfect!” This amount of drama may not be for everyone, but for her, it was just what she wanted.

Dusty Light Purple Wedding Inspiration with Modern Geometric Decor
When I first met with the bride, Jerelyn, I knew she had a modern style, and wanted her wedding to be beautifully unique. She and her fiance DIY-ed the hexagon and geometric elements of their wedding. In our meeting, she drew out the ideas she had for the custom built floating hexagon shelves and the gold and grey geometric centerpieces. I knew the flowers needed to match the modern feel. So we kept the color pallet soft and dusty (to coordinate with the beautiful dusty lavender bridesmaid’s dresses), and we chose flowers and greenery that weren’t too traditional looking. My favorite was the blackberry and the white scabiosa that were perfect to stick up out of the arrangements, calling attention to themselves. Second favorite was the lilac, perfect to add texture and length to the bride’s cascading bouquet.
