We wanted to share some of the beautiful photographs of photographer Kelly Dillon of a wedding we did together in May at the Boston Public Library. My favorite color palette so far this season – what can I say? I am spring girl at heart!
Centerpieces for this lovely wedding were in a color palette of soft apricot and coral with greens and soft beiges to neutralize and soften the palette. The couple found lots of beautiful antique books and personalized each one with an inscription to each wedding guest.
The ridiculously huge beautiful flower in this photo – a variety of peony called “Coral Charm” might be my all-time favorite flower. When it first opens, it is a lovely bright coral-pink color but as it opens over a few days it softens so apricot and then pale, pale yellow before dying.
Bouquets were in a slightly softer color palette (none of the coral touches) with a bit more apricot from parrot tulips and soft pink with Sarah Bernheart pale pink peonies. Just loved making these bouquets with the colors and textures…

Wow! Love the book idea– it plays wonderfully against the colors and textures of the flowers. Gorgeous as usual…

Julie and Apryl…the arrangements and bouquets were more beautiful than I dreamed of. Every single flower was amazing. The colors and textures were stunning. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with you both. I hope we can work together again in the future. You are the best!! Thank you again. – Jen (the Bride)
