A Black and White Wedding at the Brinton Museum

Jake and Audrey planned a glamorous black and white wedding at The Brinton Museum in August. The ladies all in black dresses of their choosing, the men wearing dark charcoal suits with skinny black ties. The amber glass jars she picked for the reception sparked my imagination and helped me pick a few unique flower and foliage choices for her bouquet.

Audrey provided me with some inspiration and general color preferences and left the rest up to me. We planned to keep the design neutral in color with deep greens, incorporating her favorite eucalyptus and large garden roses. She trusted me with the rest, and I even used gorgeous, warm beige-colored carnations as a base for bouquets. Thinking of candlelight shining through her amber glass, I added gold kangaroo paws to mimic the flame. They were a favorite with everyone.

Fun trivia - the bride, myself, and their photographer all graduated from Colorado State University - Go Rams!!

I'm forever grateful to Cassie Rosch, Photographer, for capturing every glorious angle of the flowers and sharing them with me.

For their ceremony under the trees, the groom’s father made a modern steel arbor to frame the space. His creation was a surprise to both the bride and groom, who saw it for the first time on their wedding day. Adding spectacular flowers was a dream.

Whenever possible, I encourage couples to choose a table linen other than the standard white. The simple change to black table cloths with the added amber glass and dark greenery made these tables pop.

Congratulations!
