The Wood Wedding
Fall in Kentucky is hard to beat, and the Wood wedding at Broken Arrow Farm in Falmouth was a good reminder of why. With golden leaves overhead and a quiet country road for a backdrop, this day felt relaxed, joyful, and full of personality. We were honored to create the flowers for it.
The Bridal Bouquet
For the bride, we designed a full cascade bouquet that looked like it had been gathered from a wildflower meadow. Light blue delphinium, peach roses, mauve pink roses, and Ilse spray roses made up the soft color story, with white daisies, white alstroemeria, and white Monte Casino asters adding airy texture. Baby’s breath and caspia filled in the gaps, while silver dollar and gunni eucalyptus and dusty miller trailed down the front in silvery-green ribbons. A touch of yellow solidago and purple statice added just enough fall color to match the season. Against her classic white gown, it was the perfect pop of color.
The Bridesmaids
Her bridesmaids carried hand-tied bouquets of all baby’s breath, finished with dusty miller and silver dollar greenery and wrapped in white. They were a clean, romantic contrast to the bride’s bouquet, and they looked beautiful with the mix-and-match dresses in dusty blue, sage green, and rose. Walking arm in arm down the road with the fall foliage behind them, the group looked like a watercolor painting.
The Groom and Groomsmen
The guys brought their own style to the day. The groom wore a deep charcoal suit, while his groomsmen wore light gray suits with floral bow ties and matching pocket squares. For the groom, we made a boutonniere of baby’s breath with a few small clusters of light blue delphinium and white Monte Casino, tucked against silver dollar leaf and dusty miller. It echoed the bride’s bouquet and made him stand out just enough from the groomsmen, who each wore a simple baby’s breath boutonniere to match the bridesmaids’ bouquets. Add a pair of dark sunglasses on every one of them, and the black-and-white group portrait is a showstopper.
Why We Loved It
This wedding was proof that a thoughtful palette can do a lot. Soft blues, peaches, and mauves in the bridal bouquet, simple baby’s breath for the bridal party, and understated boutonnieres that tied everything together were all it took to match the natural beauty of the farm and the season.
Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Wood. Thank you for letting Swan Floral & Gift Shop be part of your day!
