I am so excited to finally show you one of my favorite weddings from last year!  Margaret and Patrick were married this past October at Rust Manor (which is one of the Audubon Society’s properties).  This wedding meant so much to me as Margaret is the sister of a previous client Ameena (click here to see her wedding)!  I really got to know Margaret, Ameena and their mother during Ameena’s wedding and I was so excited to be planning Margaret’s wedding!

Her pretty bridal bouquet was comprised of purple vanda orchids, green cymbidium orchids and white ranunculus.  Margaret wanted purples and greens for the ceremony and blues and greens for the reception.

We were able to hang some pretty purple and white paper lanterns along with our green glass votives above the couple for a lantern chandelier effect from the sprawling tree!  We customized our reclaimed wood stage for them with a darkened natural stain.

After seeing our cute article on eco-friendly wedding children’s ideas in Eco-Beautiful Weddings (by Couture Parties), Margaret fell in love with the idea of a little sign for the ring bearer instead of a pillow.  Margaret’s mom also got a radio flyer painted blue to fit the color scheme for the little flower girl to ride in!  Just adorable!

During the cocktail hour the guests were treated to eye candy and so much more!  Since Patrick is Irish – they opted for a fun Shamrock Ginger Lime Mojito!  We kept the purple going with the flowers, but started to bring in the greens and the blues with this fantastic escort card table display:

Stay tuned for later in the week for details from their reception!
