What a great local venue! What a great room! Don’t you agree? The mill and waterfall there would be a great backdrop for pictures. You can view the mill and read more about it at www.thejonesrivertrading.com

This they call the pub. It’s not pictured here, but there is an antique bar from Dublin. Looks like a great place to have a reception, and oh what I could do with the room as far as florals ;)

This wedding by Rhapsody in Bloom was held in the family’s back yard. The bridesmaids wore royal blue and carried predominately yellow bouquets made up of Yellow roses and freesia, accented with blue thistle. The small boutonniere here, made of bachelor buttons, was for the ring bearer. The groomsmen wore yellow freesia with lemon leaf.
The brides bouquet was predominately white, made up with white peonies, the softest, yellow roses and just a touch of blue from the Tweedia. the bouquet was Intertwined with Ivy giving it a true garden feel, and just a touch of fresh mint gave it a soft, fresh scent, only for the bride.
Centerpieces (above) were made with blue hydrangea, white stock and Yellow gerbera. The tall, white church pieces were made with white hydrangea, stock and Spirea, then framed with Hosta leaves.
Be sure to check back for pictures from the professional photographer that shot the wedding that day!!
My readers have shown some interest in the cascading bouquet. Most of my brides these days are asking for the hand-tied, more compact style bouquet. It is modern and clean and the closely arranged flowers show color well and make it very durable too! When one of my bouquets is done, you can wave it around, toss it in the air and otherwise forget about it and it will stay in tact all day.
The cascading bouquet might be on it’s way back. Brides are inquiring about them more and more lately. The cascading bouquet can be very soft and romantic. The flowers can drape gracefully along the flow of a wedding gown, and can still be modern and fresh. Here are some examples of the modern girls cascading bouquet.
This first bouquet I’ve had in the archives for sometime. I can’t remember where I got this image. The Bouquet speaks to me of tender romance and femininity. It looks like it may be made with sweet-peas, freesia and the tender vine surrounding it in green, possibly Jasmine.
This ultra-modern cascade is made of pure white Phalaenopsis Orchids. Simple; clean; modern, but with a twist. The ornate handle has an antique feel to it. Don’t you think? {photo via Style Me Pretty}
This cascading bouquet has a tropical feel to it. The base is made of Lilies and Dendrobium orchids trail beneath. {photo via Style Me Pretty}
This bouquet by Rhapsody in Bloom {that is Moi!} was made with soft pinky, peach roses (that’s a technical term), sprinkled with the lovely scented Lily of the Valley, mint and other herbs. The bride called it “intoxicating”! She really enjoyed that it was softly fragrant.
