Alexia & Blaine:
Rustic Wedding in North Carolina
Keeping in line with their rustic elegant theme, Alexia and Blaine chose a nature-inspired color palette of green, orange, brown and yellow. They worked with floral designer Carolyn Clement of Millefleurs to create floral arrangements with a natural, unstructured look to complement their wedding location. This centerpiece incorporates orange and yellow flowers with tea light candles suspended from wrought-iron branches.

Brenda & Chris:
Nautical Wedding in Rhode Island
Brenda and Chris chose a yellow and celadon green color theme to create a fresh summer vibe at their seaside wedding. The ceremony and reception were decorated with yellow roses in memory of Brenda's mother, who loved the golden blooms. The tall centerpieces added height and a traditional, elegant touch to the tables. These silver vases were filled with a mix of yellow and white flowers, which included roses, stock, snapdragons, peonies, bupleurum and oncidium orchids.

Jessica & Jason:
Eco-Chic Wedding in California
With the help of Eden Rodriguez of End Design, which specializes in sustainable events, Jessica and Jason were able to create an eco-friendly wedding. They decided to use a variety of local organic flowers, including tuberose, jasmine, cottage roses and fragrant herbs for their arrangements. They also added reclaimed antique décor elements and natural products to complete the look. The table numbers were made of reclaimed terra-cotta tiles and metal house numbers. Fruit and antique glassware also adorned the tables. All these pieces combined created a unique, eclectic table centerpiece that enhanced the wedding's theme.

Jean & Michael:
Garden Wedding in California
To incorporate the natural beauty of their wedding site, Jean and Michael used a variety of bright pink, green, orange and yellow flowers and mixed them with different leaves to carry out their garden theme. The centerpieces varied from table to table and included tall bunches of calla lilies and low vases of roses to an eclectic mix of orchids, hydrangeas, roses and more. To add more visual interest, vases were lined with leaves, kumquats or cherry tomatoes.
