Sarah and Eric’s Wedding, Dearborn Country Club, Lawrenceburg, IN

Sarah and Eric were married on October 26th. Sarah is a very special bride to me – she is the first bride that hired me after I moved back home to Cincinnati. Sarah selected a very soft color palette of champagne, ivory and a hint of green to compliment the navy bridesmaids’ dresses and linens that she selected. Her bridal bouquet was super-soft and romantic, and was finished with vintage 1920’s sequined lace that I picked up in New York City. Bridal bouquet with white hydrangea, white mini callas, Snow Flake spray roses, white mini cymbidium orchids, Mondial roses, White O’Hara garden roses, Porcelina spray roses and White Majolica spray roses, by Floral Verde LLC in Cincinnati, OH.

The bridesmaids carried similar bouquets with navy wraps to match their dresses.

The ceremony was held at Tanner Valley United Methodist Church. Reverend Chris Gadlage and his staff were an absolute pleasure to work with. All of the ceremony florals were later repurposed to the reception.

The reception was at the beautiful Dearborn Country Club. Sweet little arrangements in mercury glass goblets graced the cocktail tables.

To keep things interesting there were three different centerpiece styles for the reception. There were arrangements encased in birdcages, low arrangements in mercury glass compotes and elevated arrangements bursting with larkspur and curly willow.
