I know it might be hard, but imagine yourself transported to my inaugural wedding endeavor, set in the wintry embrace of Massachusetts, where even the frosty weather failed to dampen the warmth and love that enveloped this intimate celebration. I did still feel cold though, but as anyone that knows me, I am always cold. Why do you think I moved to Arizona? Anyways, let's get to the point.
But before I do, I will be doing a more detailed blog post on my first wedding experience, but for the time being I will just tease with a quick post of the flowers. Ok, let's delve into the captivating floral tapestry that stole the spotlight on this momentous day. At the heart of the bouquet stood a majestic country white rose sourced from the renowned Trader Joe's, a surprising yet exquisite choice that embodied purity, innocence, and the essence of new beginnings, rightfully earning its place as the centerpiece.
Accompanying the white roses were vibrant calla lilies ( a personal favorite of mine) in a fiery hue, exuding vitality and fertility, while the versatile eucalyptus brought not only a fragrant allure but also connotations of healing, protection, and spiritual guidance, enriching the bouquet with depth and significance.
The ensemble further featured delicate pinkish spray roses, adding a touch of sweetness and charm, alongside the divisive yet essential baby's breath, which discreetly filled the bouquet with texture and grace. Queen Anne's lace, a subtle yet impactful addition, infused the arrangement with warmth and color, transforming the cold December day into a rustic, welcoming ambiance that resonated with the bride's vision.
Even the groomsmen's boutonnieres were thoughtfully curated, featuring a blend of pinkish-orange spray roses, eucalyptus, and a touch of St. John's wort, a botanical gem known for its protective qualities, fittingly aligning with the couple's adventurous spirit and love for woodland escapades.
Ok, that all now! Stay tune for my full blog post on my first wedding!
