A Country Vintage Wedding

We provided wedding flowers for a lovely couple who were to be married in a historic barn here in the Willamette Valley of Oregon.  Her style was simple, wild flower, country and vintage.  Her primary focus was on having a beautiful reception for her family and friends.  She loved flowers and wanted the tables to have lots of flowers on them.  The tables were set for 8 places, with a burlap runner and 3 mason jars on each table.  Her dishes were a collection of her grandmother's china and other vintage china collected by a favorite uncle who loved going to garage and antique sales.  The dishes on each table were different so we coordinated the flowers to go with each table.  We did 27 mason jars of flowers for her. She was also going to have a few very special little vases on the tables also with just a stem or two of tiny flowers.  We provided her with 100 stems of little tiny zinnias, feverfew, and grasses. Eight of the vases were wired so that they would hang on shepard's hooks along the aisle.


We also provided the personal wedding flowers for the happy couple.  She was to wear a simple ivory gown, her maid's dress was a blue dress, and there were three young girls dressed in white summer dresses with hot pink sandals.  The bouquets were designed accordingly.

The groom and best man wore simple boutonnieres and three special women wore three simple corsages.  All were wrapped with burlap, burlap ribbon and burlap twine.  Perfect for the country vintage theme.

We had a blast growing, cutting and designing for this wedding.  We look forward to actual ceremony photos, to see how it all came together.  We will keep you posted.

"I Would Love Local Garden Flowers For My Wedding"


We had another request for locally grown garden flowers for a small garden wedding this week.  Any flowers, any color (except orange) and designed for the mason jars.  We love and appreciate folks wanting to purchase local and sustainably grown flowers. We are getting many requests and think that is really great to support local flower growers!

                           So the following is a pictorial of some of the flowers we used.

                                       Snowy white feverfew and purple-pink spray dianthus
                                                              Drum-stick alliums
                                                                Mini Calla lilies
                                                         Bupleurum- a beautiful green
                                                                           Dahlias
                A table of assorted flowers from penstemons, lilies, lavender, phlox and rudbeckias.

Around and around the table I went creating garden style, country chic, summer vintage or whatever you would like to call them, locally grown and carefully made summer bouquets.  Four proconas later, I had a bunch of beautiful bouquets ready for the jars.


When they were delivered, they were exactly right, just what she wanted, amazing!!  All the words we so love to hear!

          A wish for a beautiful wedding and a long and happy marriage to the bride and groom!!!
