Ashley + Chesire | Raleigh, NC Wedding Floral Designer

When the owner of Vermillion contacts you to do florals for her wedding, you can't help but get excited! Ashley's wedding to Chesire in late June was small and intimate, but filled with tons of style -- from her custom designed Lela Rose gown to the coral charm peonies in her bouquet!

Mary Kait + Chris | Raleigh, NC Wedding Florals

Do we have some gorgeous images to share with you today?!? Mary Kait and Chris were married this summer in downtown Raleigh at The Stockroom. The oh-so talented Martha Stilwell (wedding planner/designer/coordinator extraordinaire) outdid herself on this wedding and we're so glad our florals could play a part!

Shelley + Nick were such a sweet couple to work with! Married at the gorgeous Merrimon-Wynne House in Raleigh, Shelley chose a mixture of pale green, lavender, cream and blue blooms! We just loved how these looked paired with her bridesmaids dresses!

Lauren + Mike had a lovely spring wedding this May at Duke Gardens. Pink garden roses, coral charm peonies and craspedia (billy balls) popped against the whites and creams of hydrangea, lisianthus and ranunculus.
