Best, Virginia

Kristen, my bride selected white callas, monkey tail and then added black feathers and beautiful buttons for detail.

Here is a clear example where less is more.

The alter flowers at Shove’s Chapel continued with a simple but elegant look of sparkling candle light, white callas and just a touch of black.

Dusty Miller, a silver grey foliage, has become very popular with my brides this season. It is one of the few floral products that is actually grey. I think it combines beautifully with these pastel David Austin garden roses and ivory dahlias. It looks great with silver grey, charcoal grey, sage green, and mint green, bridesmaids dresses. In this wedding the bridesmaids wore sage green.

The wedding cake featured David Austin garden roses and dusty miller. The bride’s bouquet has the addition of the David Austin Juliet rose. ( the pale peach rose)

These roses below are called Jeanne Moreau. They open like a peony and have a wonderful fragrance.

These centerpieces created a contemporary look as they featured a large glass vase and were placed on tall cocktail tables.

The dinning tables continued the garden rose and lemon theme while using a smaller vase making it easy for guests to converse across the table.
