Ocean Country Side Wedding with a Summer Lemon Twist

Natural Charms had the pleasure of designing for a long-time neighbor and friend's sister's wedding recently this past summer at the quaint Cannon's  with such spectacular ocean and yacht view.  The moment I first sat with this gracious bride-to-be, I totally understood how she wanted her wedding day to reflect a humble elegant ambiance with yet a summer field of wild flowers, happy thoughts and lemon drops!   I was more impressed and intrigued designing for this wedding once learning about their romantic story of how they first met and their special journey that led them finally down the aisle to "I Do".
Over the many years of designing it never stops getting interesting how every wedding has it's own magical story and within that story there's something special to be captured and ultimately shared with others around them!   That's where I come in and help them express their special day in the most beautiful manner with flowers and elements that "fits" them.
 


... lemon details throughout


Every arrangement designed slightly different with wild flowers, dahlias, succulents, pods, billy balls, varigated greenery, back drops of white and blue hydrangeas and lemons ... placed on top of mason jars submerged with lemons.
What stands out most about this wedding for me is how as I watched this bride walk down the aisle, I was very moved thinking about how she had shared with me how she never imagined several years prior that she would ever marry again ... until she met the man of her dreams!  It was such a special love story she shared with me with a such a smile on her face  ... and then told me to never give up "hope".  And, that is a true testiment of the special kind of brides I am so fortunate to have interested in my floral designs to help make their day beautiful, as I get to watch them happily walk down the aisle ... that is my reward.

There were touches of happy yellow elements everywhere!
 
... and they lived happily ever after!
