Real Wedding: John & Jenny – flowers

Miss Jenny has very particular taste, and I mean that in a very good way. This girls style is impeccable: sophisticated, classic, a bit whimsical, and slightly eclectic. I knew choosing design aspects for her wedding could present a challenge, since this girl certainly knows what she likes.

A bit of history: When I think of Jenny, a very distinctive color palate comes to mind: neutral. In particular, slate blues, grey, black, ivory and blush – all the colors she wears quite often that I just love on her. That palate, minus the blush, makes for great wedding colors!

Jenny threw my bridal shower for me in the early spring before my wedding. As a hostess gift, I made her a rather large arrangement of flowers using the colors I thought she might like. In the back of my mind, I was testing out wedding flowers for her, even though she had not yet met John {but soon would!}. She LOVED the flowers, and even commented that they would be perfect for her wedding someday…naturally, in my mind, my response was, “Duh, I already know that.”

Here are the flowers I made for her hostess gift:

For her wedding, which was at the same time of year as my shower, I used all the same flowers minus the blush stock and hyacinth.

We had a large floral piece for the place card table. We removed the funny/ugly little blue napkin flower that somehow ended up pinned to the tablecloth. Eeek.

The brides bouquet had long ribbons in various shades of blues and grey.

The ceremony had river rocks down the aisle and flower heads rather than petals {petals are sooooo last decade}. Large bunches of the eucalyptus adorned the aisle chairs as well as ribbons along the rear row of chairs.

Winter Wedding Invitations

We will hopefully {fingers crossed} be launching new products to Moira Design Studio line for each season. We are a bit late on the uptake for the winter designs this year, but we have a few winter wedding invitations that we will be adding this week.

For our winter wedding invitations, we wanted to embrace the winter spirit with a more indirect approach. Rather than Christmas trees and ornaments, we wanted to reflect the spirit of Christmas – snow, warmth, curled under a blanket with your honey, fire places, hot chocolate, and sleigh rides. All the wonderful romantic tidings of the season…

Like all our collections, each design will come with all the matching counterparts including response cards, reception cards, menus, table numbers, place cards, thank you notes, etc. Here are just a few samples of the design:

Adding a reception card in with your invitation is a great way to let guests know where they are headed. Personally, I prefer not to list the church or reception address on the invitation – its just takes up too much room and tends to disrupt the design. A reception card is also wonderful if your ceremony and reception are being held at two different locations.
