Bright Blooms for a Whidbey Island Farm Wedding

Last summer I had the pleasure of working with Leah and Mike on their Whidbey Island wedding flowers.  Leah is a sunny, Seattle bride who wanted seasonal garden flowers with a friendly, comfortable feeling for her flowers.  Her wedding colors were rose and turquoise.  For the centerpiece, we used a collection of vintage vases in both clear and aqua, and filled them with Sunflowers, Scabiosa, Dahlia, Zinnia, and other summer favorites.  I’m proud to say that all of them were sustainably grown in the Pacific Northwest (and mostly in the greater Seattle region). collage centerpiece with vintage bottles Sunflowers Zinnias and Dahlias for Whidbey Island Farm Barn wedding bridal bouqet with roses dahlia tweedia maidenhair fern in white blue and pink for whidbey island wedding flowersThe bride’s dress was gorgeous – a lovely lace with a pale turquoise blue underlining.  For the bridal bouquet I wanted flowers that would echo the dress, so I chose white Dahlia and fragrant pink Garden Roses as the main blooms, with accents of white Asclepias for texture and blue Tweedia to echo the color of the underlining.  I finished it with Maidenhair Fern – I love how that delicate leaf looks with the lace. bridesmaid bouquets for Whidbey Island farm wedding with Dahlia, Scabiosa, Helenium The bridesmaids all wore turqoise (David Bridal’s “Malibu” just in case you are shopping!), so for the bridesmaids bouquets I used pink Dahlias, blue Scabiosa, and golden Helenium.  The vibrant colors match the intensity of the dress color. I think the flowers went well with the gorgeous sunny day they had!  Don’t they all look so happy and pretty?! flower girls with flower crowns Aren’t the little flower girls cute in their flower crowns?  The fans were a great touch; it was one of the hottest weekends of the summer! wedding ceremony set up They held the festivities at Jenne Farm. This is the house; it is a B&B – a great spot for the bridal party to camp out! The big lawn is perfect for the ceremony.
