‘Color…..It is a quizzical thing don’t you think? And we all seem to have our favorites from a very young age. Mine has always been a deep raspberry red. But colors are nothing by themselves are they? They need each other. Complementary colors, opposite colors etc. And in the case of wedding flowers, we see a lot of pink and white. This season Yellow is a very contagious color. Happy and pure as it is! |

| So I always like to play with colors that brides are often afraid to choose for themselves. Red is usually used in such a tacky or overdone way that you can’t see the true beauty of it’s bold look. Ideally I would love to showcase these red beauties on a turquoise and white patterned runner to offset the flowers.
This would be a unique approach to a seaside wedding that plays on the coral/red tones of the reef rather than the muted blues and pinks of the shore. Or these could run the length of a raw wood picnic table with a southwestern theme. Dried pepper garland intermingled, corn husk wrapped favors. Turquoise napkin rings. But you see, the red works better with the blue. And both are unexpected colors for a wedding table. Red might not be for everyone….but it makes you think about how to use your favorite color and get a unique and pretty looking table out of it! |

| Next, I began with the idea of creating a solely green tablescape. Essentially leaving flowers out of the mix. But in the end, these were calling out to me for just a small sprinkling of some ridiculously gorgeous garden roses. Flavor: Peach. I dropped a few in and it all came together. These remind me of a dutch painting. So fresh and earthy. I can almost smell the garden, can’t you? More proof that green is good.
Some of my materials are: Grapevine, bittersweet, plumb colored viburnum, sweet pea vine, wild lackberry, smokebush, tree of heaven (no kidding…someone got that name right!), and unripe persimmons. These would be so flattering in a garden setting don’t you think? Oh to marry in a garden….SO divine. Hope you enjoy!!!!!’ |
