Wedding at The Foundry, L.I.C. by Rebecca Shepherd floral design

This wedding took place on September 9th, one of the most gorgeous days of the year. This was also one of my favorite weddings this year to design. We kept is sophisticated and modern with a touch of glam-goth! We used David Austin patience garden roses, bells of Ireland, black star callas, red ranunculus, cymbidium orchids, chocolate cosmos, and the exquisite Tacca orchids for the over the top dramamarama additive. These are by far the most unusual orchids I have even encountered. We used them in special places like the bridal bouquet, the cake table, and scattered on the long table.  Another one of my favorite touches were the mixed silver and gold chairs and silverware. So fun and unique! See more from this wedding on my floral Facebook page. Enjoy! xo

The Foundry, Long Island City wedding flowers.

This was a one of my favorite weddings of the year. The bride wanted a classic, yet textural and elegant look to her designs. The Foundry of course, it a stunning backdrop for these sorts of designs. We used lots of succulents, gardenia's, orchids, callas, spanish moss, snowberries, roses, and hydrangea. Enjoy (: I also had the pleasure of working with the wonderful Ara, of Rock Paper Scissors Events! And, the mega talented photographer, Liesl of Photo Pink!

Brooklyn Botanic gardens summer wedding flowers.

This was my other July 23rd wedding that took place at one of my favorite places to work, the Brooklyn Botanic gardens. The bride was looking for a whimsical, funky, seasonal flowers using bright colors including cobalt blue, yellows, melons and white. Together we collected the cobalt blue vintage bottles to mix in with the vintage silver bud vases and my mercury bottle tea light holders. She also really wanted to have a natural touch being that we were in the BBG, so we incorporated a natural stump riser which is always a nice way to unite the collection of bottles. She wanted her bridal bouquet to be most sun flowers and her girls to have a seasonal mix as well as wild flowers. We used hydrangea, asters, thistle, crespedia, daisies, and greens. I loved working with this bride. She had a vision, yet, totally let me do my thing too. She was relaxed, happy and totally not worried about her flowers, which is always the best complement (: Enjoy!

English garden wedding flowers

This wedding was inspired by English gardens, bird cages and the outdoors. We alternated the tables with bird cages adorned with roses, veronica, lily's, orchids, peonies, and ivy. Around the base were little bird vessels and medicine bottles with mixed blooms. The other tables were using a tall, cast pillar with a romantic mix of blooms as well as bud vases at the base. There were 8 brides maids with all white blooms including roses, peony, and hydrangea. The mom's had a posy of large white callas. The bridal bouquet was made of a mix of soft, muted colors including callas, peony, garden roses, sweet pea and more. The little mini urns were used for the cocktail tables. I LOVE these little things! I found them at the annual Brimfield antique show this past May. The large, vintage, blue bird cage was the main piece for the escort table. Check out those lamps on either side! The professional shot are by the talented PHOTOMUSE STUDIO.
