A New Year's Eve Wedding in Savannah

*********************

Congratulations to Brittanie and Colin on their beautiful New Year's Eve Wedding. This wedding is "especially special" to me as Brittanie was my last bride of 2011, but also my first in Urban Poppy's new studio. It was wonderful to create some beautiful arrangements and have the space to spread out in.



*********************

Brittanie wanted a soft winter wedding feel without the cliche red and green color scheme. She opted for soft nudes, whites and evergreens that perfectly complemented her dress.

Initially she had discussed wearing a stole in lieu of a bouquet but opted for flowers. What is so wonderful to me is that the wheat tufts in her bouquet almost look like fur.



*********************

The white hypericum berries were a fun addition and really tied together perfectly with the beautiful handmade ceramic boutonnieres she found on Etsy.

The Star of Bethlehem paid homage to the holidays as did the winter greens of cypress and douglas fir. White tulips and carnations were fresh as snow. My favorite continues to be the Quicksand rose. The color was primarily nude with a hint of blush.


*********************

Many times having certain types of flowers are dictated by the seasons. Brittanie loved the look of the scabiosa pods, both for their texture and the perfect camel/taupe color she had in mind for her wedding palette. Not wanting to disappoint, I was thrilled when Brittanie noticed the sweet gum balls I had found outside of our house and collected for the corsages. I was so impressed!

The color matched perfectly with the cinnamon stick votives that she and her maid of honor, Kori, worked so hard to create.
