Silk, Blush, and Blooming Branches - Early Spring Wedding at Maplehurst Farm

by Laura Wheeler
Every wedding is unique due to a combination of factors: a point in the season, a particular venue, and the couple with all their personality and preferences. I consider and draw inspiration from all of these details when designing florals for an event.

Early Spring Wedding a Maplehurst Farm in Skagit County WA
This wedding right at the beginning of April is set in the backdrop of beautiful spring-blooming trees with Skagit Valley in the background. 

A Welcome Sign with elegant florals to invite your guests to your special event
The elegant couple wanted florals that reflected their classical, yet free-spirited personalities. They wanted them to feel romantic and also pay homage to their European roots. 

A gorgeous cake table with amazing mini cupcakes and a beautiful cake by Pure Bliss Desserts
This gorgeous cake and mini cupcake display by Pure Bliss in Bellingham, WA is accented perfectly by all these sweet blooms that tie into the rest of the event.

Simple and sweet aisle florals in a small jar

These hanging chair bottles were the perfect simple way to tie in the florals to the ceremony space without completing with the stunning views of blooming spring trees and Skagit Valley.

Flowers in this design include early double tulips, butterfly ranunculus, spirea, peris japonica, anemones, and other early spring beauties.

This design included butterfly ranunculus and hellebore from Freerange Farm and tulips and anemones from Feather & Bloom Farm. I foraged for the spirea and pieris japonica from my friend's garden. The rest of the little bits and greenery were from my own early spring garden. 

This sweetheart table arrangement was the perfect decoration for this couple's table.

The sweetheart table arrangement fit perfectly behind this little sign and captures how the lighting in the space made these florals glow.

Table Centerpieces with Botanical Vintage Bottles for Spring Wedding

Re-using the bridesmaid's bouquets in a simple mason jar as centerpieces on the tables during the reception was perfect way to make this couples floral budget stretch a little further. Many of the reception tables featured these sweet little vintage bottles with individual botanical elements that tied in with the rest of the design. The branches, hellebore, and anemones in these bottles bring attention to each element individually. Along with the candles, silk, and table numbers, these little botanical treasures make a subtle and elegant statement on the reception tables. 

This bouquet is a celebration of early spring with its blooming branches, velvety flowers, and subtle colors.
