When life gives you lemons...

Bright lemon yellow is the focus of this warm, summer wedding. Yellow has been increasingly popular in wedding color palette's this summer and fall. As a flower designer, I LOVE using yellow flowers! There are lots of great textures, shapes, and shades of yellow flowers that can make for gorgeous bouquets.

This wedding was shot at Riverview Manor on July 31st. Crystal George, as always, did a remarkable job photographing some of the flower pieces.
Enjoy this bright and sunny wedding and let me know what you think!

I love a color palette that has rich, bold, colors like this beautiful wedding. The versatility can take you from Spring to Fall and can be very elegant from night weddings to a casual garden wedding... like this one. Crystal George provided these beautiful photo's so many thanks to her for making our work look great!

Walt and Lindsey

Nothing inspires me more than a bride:

1. who has style and is creative
2. has a clear vision of her wedding day
3. that asks me to design her flowers

The stars aligned in July with Walt and Lindsey. Lindsey made bud vases out of paper wrapped tin cans, used band buttons as part of the boutonnieres, and incorporated various shades of slate and cream throughout the entire wedding decor. It was fabulous!

Their photographer, Kim Raff ( http://www.kimraff.zenfolio.com/ ) is a new comer to the wedding industry but is no stranger to photography, by any means. She currently works for the News & Advance and I am blown away with her work.

Be inspired and let us know what you think!

Adam Barnes

Here is a peek of our photo session taken by one of my favorite photographers of all time, Mr. Adam Barnes. He effortlessly captured the vintage look for our new ads going out across central Virginia. He's humble, extremely gracious, and we at Petal think the world of him!

Lingjia and Jason

Floral eye candy from Lingjia and Jason's Wedding in Charlottesville! UVA Chapel and the Paramont Theater were the perfect venues for this lovely couple!

Lingjia's palette included light and dark shades of purple with hints of green. Hyacinths, Freesia, Lisianthus, green Hydrangea, and purple Eryngium thistles were a few of the flowers that made an appearance. It's a great idea to choose shades of one color because it adds depth and contrast.
Thanks Jeremiah @ Stone Blue Productions for the amazing pics!
Enjoy!
