I wanted to share pictures with you of Erin and Jayson’s gorgeous pale pink and silver winter wedding that we just did the flowers for in December.
Pictures are by Novia Photography. I hope she submits these to a magazine, because they are supreme!
Wedding Flowers for Columbus Ohio Weddings, Grown Locally
January 11, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Being able to use locally grown flowers for my Columbus Ohio Weddings from the months of June or July through October is a huge bonus for us as it allows us to add a little element of surprise for our brides and gives us the opportunity to further embellish our arrangements with the freshest product, straight from the garden! Just a little outside of Marysville, I found a true treasure a couple of years ago. Five minutes from our location, From My Garden has an abundance of colorful blooms such as zinnias, cosmos, snapdragons, celosia, grasses, and even produce! Linda, the owner, is always out in the gardens cutting, weeding, and gathering… what a hard-working and humble lady. I love that I can pop in, walk the grounds, and have her cut for me whatever is looking the best and fitting my color scheme for the Columbus Ohio Weddings I have coming up that weekend. Here is a look at her cute red barn, and several pictures of some of my favorites she grew this past summer (2012).
Buckets of just cut flowers fill her tabletops every week as she prepares to go to market, including several major farmers’ markets in the Columbus area.
I absolutely LOVE celosia, the velvety, brain-like flower shown below. It adds a fabulous texture to bouquets, and the colors are so bright and bold!
Another awesome choice is the green zinnia. Zinnias give the look of dahlias, but at a much better price point, especially when I can get them locally.
Oh, and again more of that lovely celosia! I think I was on the look-out for green flowers when I took these pictures for one of our Columbus Ohio weddings.
And last but not least… my little side-kick, Charlotte always has a blast running through the rows of flowers. She was enjoying some chocolate ice cream too, which was everywhere!!!
Here’s a look at a couple of bouquets that we made which combined flowers from our local source alongside our regular commercially grown ones.

Wedding Flowers with Polka Dots and Chevron {Columbus Ohio Wedding Flowers}
January 11, 2013 by Leave a Comment
When Debra and Neil met with me for the first time to discuss their Columbus Ohio Wedding Flowers, I was amazed by her clear vision of the look and style of their wedding which was to take place at the Bluestone in Columbus, Ohio in October 2012. With one of my favorite color combinations, canary yellow and grey, fun table runners of polka dots and chevron, made by the bride’s mother, and the gorgeous backdrop provided by the Bluestone of old ornate wooden trim, stained glass, and more, I couldn’t wait to get started on their wedding flowers!
We first met for coffee and looked together at the collection of images that Debra had compiled, showcasing what she wanted her flowers to look like. I see such variation in brides… some who know exactly what they want, like Debra… some who simply know their colors but look to me for floral ideas… and others who are in beginning stages of the planning before colors, style, and location are nailed down. We love ALL of our brides, no matter where they are with the planning, but Debra sure did make my job easy!!
The Bluestone features a huge stage, perfect for Columbus weddings! This opened up many opportunities for flowers and decor. We hung paper lanterns from the gorgeous wood above, and placed a collection of three tall skinny vases on the raised area at the back of the stage. Flowers on the stage included yellow gladiolus, yellow dendrobium, yellow oncidium orchids, and green tinted baby’s breath. Debra wanted to dress up the aisle in something non-traditional, so we chose to use masses of misty limonium, typically used as a filler flower, in tall cylinder vases, accompanied by tissue paper pomanders, some of which were placed directly on the floor, and others raised up on a short cylinder vase. I loved the reflective sheen of the wooden floor. The yellow really popped!!
The whole left side of the room features a huge glass display. We chose to hang various sized lanterns at different height all along this glass display, which made a huge statement and contribution to the look and feel of this fun, casual wedding!
Debra’s amazing Columbus Ohio wedding flowers included dahlias, garden roses, garden spray roses, one of her favorite flowers, billy balls, silver brunia, and lacey dusty miller. All photography following is by the artistic Ely Brothers.
Bridesmaids’ bouquets were entirely composed of yellow football mums and clusters of billy balls.
Staying close-by during the ceremony, we quickly returned to place centerpieces along rectangular tables when the room was ready to be prepared for the reception. It was so fun running around placing flowers among the fast-paced service staff who were hurriedly placing table settings while hearing the band warm up… fog emitting from the stage!
Wedding flowers used for the centerpieces gave the look of casual, single-stems in a collection of various square and round, clean-line vases. Billy balls, oncidium orchids, fuji mums, and football mums danced along the tables among table numbers, salt and pepper, and glassware.
