Virginia + Robin at The Pace House in Vinings

Virginia and Robin's wedding was a milk glass extravaganza!  It was fun searching flea markets for all the different sized vessels.  Virginia chose a clean, fresh white and green color palette that perfectly complimented the classic southern ambiance of The Pace  House. 

 White lilac, standard mums, stock, kalanchoe, hydrangea, and button mums combined with green buttons, super green roses, bells of ireland and bundles of fresh mint comprised her floral selection.

 Cutest cake topper - from Etsy, of course.

 Southern gents wore seersucker blue.

Virignia + Robin = Milk Glass Extravaganza

Yahoo! I finally have a chance to blog!

I surprisingly do not have any events/weddings this weekend so I don't know what to do with myself! Actually that's not true - there is a 'to do' list a mile long, and one item is to finally put up on the blog what has been keeping bloom floral design so busy!

Virginia and Robin, both Auburn graduates and hailing from Birmingham, were married at the Pace House in Vinings on May 1st. It was your classic southern wedding - hydrangeas, mason jars, seersucker suits, a rockin' band (somehow connected to Bob Dylan - The Last Waltz was their name, I think?) and the first humid Saturday of the year.

I had a fantastic time collecting milk glass vases to use for the reception centerpieces. Here's a few shots of the collections.

Love the shoe and the vase on the left!

The white and green color palette was perfect for the Vinings humidity. Virginia was very laid back about her flowers and consequently everything came together beautifully. White hydrangeas, snowball mums, bouvardia, vendela' roses, tulips, stock, white lilac, kalanchoe, 'super green' roses, bells of ireland, kermit poms, hypericum berries and glorious amounts of mint.

It was absolute heaven incorporating the mint (and appropriately - it was Derby Day!).

Next post - bouquets/boutonnieres and more details - such as their cool sign-in poster and the sweet etsy cake topper.
