Chloe and Shea: a Derby-Garden wedding

Introducing Chloe and Shea.

Chloe was a wonderful bride to work with! She had a clear vision of what she wanted and great ideas for a simple clean garden inspired look--with classic Kentucky Derby touches.
















This bouquet was really special. The composition is simple: pure white roses and peonies with mint and woodland fern. But look closely and you will see that the stems are wrapped with an Irish linen handkerchief belonging to Chloe's grandmother--embroidered with a shamrock.

The bridesmaids bouquets, (alongside the bride's) a loose gathering of Chamomile, tied with a simple grosgrain ribbon. Incredibly cheerful little flowers!























Look at these great details! Thanks to an excellent wedding planner, Mackenzie Spalding of One Fine Day wedding consultation. info at http://www.OneFineDayKY.com/






















Each table was named after a race horse, with the name displayed in these Horseshoe frames.
Down the center of the tables we used a array of different vases--all glass--each containing an abundance of a single flower. Included were, Roses, Chamomile, Hypericum, Lisianthus, Hydrangea, Stock, Spray roses, & Freesia. We also continued the use of Mint and woodland fern.
















Look at these great party favors (Chloe's idea). Each guest/couple received a commemorative cup from this year's Kentucky derby with a single rose and an abundance of mint. The place card and clothespins--another One Fine Day touch!














The groomsmen and groom wore seersucker suits with Chamomile boutonnieres.


The adorable flower girls. Hair-wreaths of spray roses and hypericum berries....













... matching pomander balls, tied with a grosgrain ribbon.
A night and day view of the cocktail area where we placed galvanized buckets with plantings grown especially for the day. Tea lights nestled in a bed of split peas were placed amongst the arrangements, casting a warm glow as the evening progressed.
So glad I got to play a part in this stunning day!
