The Color Story

The palette centered around soft sage green and blush pink, accented with cheerful pops of sunny yellow and sky blue. This harmonious combination felt both fresh and timeless – perfectly suited for a bridal celebration. The botanical green tablecloth with its leafy pattern served as the foundation, while delicate pink trim added a romantic touch.

Floral Design Details

The centerpieces were the true stars of this tablescape. Each arrangement featured a carefully curated mix of:

- Garden roses in soft pink tones that provided romantic focal points

- Green hydrangeas that echoed the tablecloth and added substantial texture

- Pink carnations for ruffled texture and lasting beauty

- Blue delphinium that reached skyward, creating vertical interest

- Fresh citrus (lemons and limes) nestled throughout for unexpected charm

- Trailing amaranthus in dusty rose that cascaded gracefully

- Seasonal greenery including bells of Ireland for structure

Styling Elements

Table Setting: Gold-rimmed chargers paired with delicate floral china created layers of pattern and texture. The mix of these antique and vintage pieces felt collected rather than matched, adding to the charm.

Linens: The botanical print tablecloth was the perfect backdrop, while soft pink napkins and the pink trim tied the color story together.

Additional Florals: Beyond the centerpieces, we created complementary arrangements for the buffet area, including a show-stopping citrus topiary wrapped in moss and roses – a playful nod to traditional garden topiaries with a fresh, edible twist.

Entry Florals: A meadow on the entry ledge greeted guests with whimsy and featured roses, hydrangeas, zinnias, carnations, celosia, gomphrena, and trailing amaranth.

Sweet Details

The floral arrangements extended to accent pieces throughout the space, including smaller arrangements that accompanied the mini muffin display. Even the serving pieces were adorned with trailing greenery and roses, ensuring every corner felt intentionally designed. This sun-drenched sun room provided an ideal backdrop, with natural light filtering through large windows and views of the garden beyond. The indoor-outdoor feeling enhanced the party atmosphere while providing comfort for guests.
