    Featured Wedding: Lauren & AJ

    Sep 02 2020

    Real Wedding: Lauren & AJ

    Brighton, Michigan | Photographer: Amanda Dumouchelle

    Often, when we think about traditional wedding colors, our minds go directly to pale pink or a handful of other popular colors. However, more and more brides and grooms are thinking outside the traditional wedding rainbow of colors. When couples decide to use untraditional colors, it creates a fun challenge for floral designers. I’m excited anytime I’m able to express my creativity with new colors, venues, etc. 

    Think Outside the Color Box 

    I was recently approached by a bride who wanted to use mauve as the primary color in her wedding day palette. It was one of the first-ever requests as a floral designer that I had fielded for mauve. My first reaction was surprise, and I paused for a moment. My second reaction was excitement. Mauve is a beautiful color, especially if approached with a subtle and professional touch. 

    Mauve Roses

    For this Brighton, Michigan wedding, I decided to use roses as my go-to flower in the arrangements. My next task was picking the perfect rose. I eventually settled on the Amnesia rose. The Amnesia rose, in my opinion, is the perfect blend between a pale blush color and a more vibrant purple hue. To accent these mauve stunners, I selected accompanying flowers in both white and peach. The bridal bouquet had the added highlight of a beautiful trailing ribbon in mauve that perfectly matched the Amnesia roses. 

    The mauve palette did not stop with the bridal bouquet. I used the same color scheme for all of the flowers that decorated the Brighton, Michigan venue. These included beautifully detailed floral arrangements on the guests’ tables, as well as accent flowers on her three-tiered wedding cake. 

    If you’re envisioning what all of this looks like, you can see for yourself by clicking here!

    Consider Non-conventional Wedding Colors

    I encourage all brides and grooms to expand their color palette and embrace the beauty of non-traditional color choices. Working with a skilled, professional floral designer will help you transform your color vision into a stunning floral reality on your special day.

Love receiving photos from the photographers as been a florist I don't usually see the "full" photos from the wedding. From first look, to ceremony then reception... These gave me the whole picture as to how the wedding went and I just love it. 🥰⁠

I'm Ching, and most of time I don't remember my age because I stopped counting after 29 so I can always be 29. 😂😂😂⁠

Often time I live in my own la-la land and day dreaming with all the crazy ideas and thoughts. ⁠

Infertility was my biggest struggle and now I'm blessed with a beautiful girl and a handsome boy. ⁠
⁠
I was laughed at school because of my flat nose and was asked if my parents had "dropped" me. 🤷 ⁠

I grew up with 6+ birds, 2 bunnies, 2 fish, 1 turtle, 3+ hamsters, 1 dog and many many small creatures and bugs. Now I'm a proud cat owner. ⁠

Tell me about yourself. Do we have any similarities? Differences?⁠

    I've been trying to describe my art style lately.. I've been trying to describe my art style lately...⁠
I've been told I'm traditional which I don't agree 100%. ⁠
Perhaps I'm traditional with modern twist?? 🤣🤣⁠
I love classic and elegant art but not in the traditional "box" form. Does that make sense?? ⁠
