VT Inspiration 2.19

Vermont Vows included my work in a beautiful inspiration board this month. VT Vows Amethyst Inspiration Board My bouquet is in the center top row. Click on the link for a full list of sources and to browse the Vows website for more ideas. They write: 

“As the birthstone for those born in February, amethyst adds the perfect splash of wedding for white-washed February days. The rich jewel tone looks sweet on bridesmaids’ dresses, as a pop of color in bouquets & centerpieces, or in it’s true form in jewelry – but the options are limitless. The regal hues is the perfect way to transition between the seasons, with it’s softer shades serving as the perfect palette for spring & summer seasons, or incorporate darker shades when the weather is chillier. However you choose to incorporate amethyst, the day will look sweet when rendered in purple.”

Hibernating in my cottage on this snowy night, the green landscape in these photographs is a feast for my eyes. A lush vineyard was the setting for Stephanie and Adam’s wedding. She looks so beautiful, and that dress! The epitome of grace and elegance. I had to compete against a wild rainstorm while setting up the decor on this particular afternoon but the sun broke through just in time for the ceremony, turning the dripping tent into a misty greenhouse of sorts. Somehow, things always work out in the end. xx

another joyful wedding from September. Every flower I included in the bouquets and table decorations was grown by me, but the farm where the event was held had matching dahlias in their own flower beds! Love the playful combinations of blues, coral, white and yellow. So sweet.

These pictures are from a September wedding in Connecticut. This event marked the last of summer’s colors with a palette of cool blues, greens, and purples. Linen tablecloths and wooden boxes provided a natural backdrop for the flowers. Images courtesy of House of Joules Photography.

My home grown dahlias made an appearance this fall at a beautiful backyard wedding in Jericho. The red dahlia in the first two images was probably my favorite new variety this year. It reminds me of a Japanese chrsanthemum, which are so gorgeous and different from your everyday mums. Images courtesy of House of Joules Photography.
