Hillary + Andrew | Raleigh, North Carolina Floral Designer

Hillary + Andrew were married on a beautiful Memorial Day weekend at the stunning Merrimon-Wynne House in Raleigh, North Carolina.  They chose gorgeous, bright blooms such as peonies, garden roses, and ranunculus.  Kumquats on the branch were added for a bold pop of orange.  English lavender was also used as a tribute to Andrew's home across the pond.  The dupioni silk ribbon in the bouquets was hand-selected by Hillary in New York City.  The multiple shades of grey taper candles were placed in beautiful, brass candle holders that Hillary discovered while antiquing. 

Hillary wore an amazing dress by Anne Barge.  The entire day was exquisitely captured by Marcie Meredith!

Jessica and Dale were married back in November in Wake Forest with a ceremony at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church and reception held at The Sutherland, planned by Nicole with Erin McLean Events. Jessica had a vision of emerald green and rich orange toned blooms and greenery. We used several different varieties of roses and garden roses, spray roses, hypericum berries, ranunculus, stock, white hydrangea, ligustrum and lemon leaf to cream gold compotes for each of her guest tables. A unique detail to this wedding was a moss covered installation of the couple's new monogram accented with floral clusters. And Jessica and Dale's head table included multiple floral compotes, candles and romantic jasmine vine added to their sweetheart settee provided by Themeworks.

Lane and Brandon's romantic, classic wedding at The Stockroom in late Winter was our first after returning from Intrigued Experience where we learned the tap bouquet method from Katie Davis of Ponderosa and Thyme. Lush and soft blooms such as garden roses, ranunculus, tulips, anemones and stock, paired with jasmine vine, eucalyptus, bay laurel, camellia foliage, and variegated bush ivy for dreamy florals!

Jamie + Stephen were married on a beautiful Spring afternoon in March at the gorgeous Bay 7 in Durham. With a classic black and white color palette, Jamie wanted lots of greenery with lush blooms to compliment. We used polo roses, alabaster garden roses, tibet roses and playa blanca roses, complimented with white anemone, spray roses, astilbe, ranunculus, double tulips, lisianthus and veronica, as well as dusty miller, silver dollar, seeded and gunii eucalyptus. The result was one of our favorite (and largest!) bouquets to date. My favorite part was adding a piece of daphene from my own garden to the bouquet and boutonniere to help trigger scent memories for years to come of this special day!
