Jenny + Adam’s Bowing Oaks Plantation Wedding

Jenny + Adam’s Bowing Oaks wedding last fall was more than two years in the making. Actually, 10 if you want to consider how long they’ve been together! The couple are high school sweethearts and knew from early on that they were a forever match. After getting engaged, planning began! But Jenny knew she wanted to wait until she finished school to have the actual wedding.  We have to admit- it was one of our longest engagements, but so worth the wait!

Fantasy Floral Details 

Bouquets: These were so fun to make! They had a lovely round, full shape. We used two timeless options- roses, hydrangea, as well as dusty miller, brunia berries (one of our favorite options for adding a hint of grey/silver to arrangements), and anemones (known for it’s bold, black center)! It was gorgeous!  The bridesmaids carried slightly smaller versions of Jenny’s bouquet. 

Boutonniere: Adam’s boutonniere was made with anemone and dusty miller. The groomsmen wore white roses. 

Ceremony: A timeless, classic option- white rose petals lining the aisle!

Welcome signage: A greenery spray for the top of the signage with seeded eucalyptus, brunia berries, roses, and anemone. 

Reception: Wood boxes with lots of fluffy, full white hydrangea, paired with dusty miller and brunia berry accents with pops of anemone. 

Sweetheart table: Over the gold sequin linen, we placed white rose petals to accompany the repurposed bouquets as a centerpiece. 

Cake topper:  We topped her three small cakes with roses, brunia berries and seeded eucalyptus. The larger center cake also had anemone.

Pastel Bowing Oaks Plantation Winter Wedding

Our friends at Southern Charm Events recently posted about Kristi + Jason’s wedding, and we loved that they had to say so much, we had to quote them on their description!  “Kristi + Jason’s Bowing Oaks Plantation winter wedding was absolute luxury,  while still being completely fun and just a bit quirky too!   Kristi went for a full glamor look. And let us tell you, she was stunning!  Jason about fell over when we saw her for the first time.”

Isn’t that summary so perfect for this event?! the couple’s colorful pastel color palette included teal, blue, pink and purple, with pops of red. Kristi’s bridesmaids each wore a gown in their choice of color and style, which combined the entire palette together beautifully! 

Fantasy Floral Details

Florals were a mix of red, blue, lavender, pink, white, red and greenery. We used thistle, roses, delphinium, miniature mums, hydrangea, and eucalyptus.  

The aisle was lined with lanterns and red rose petals. 

For the reception, we created arrangements in a variety of shapes and sizes to adorning each table. Mostly low options- some in more compact styles in a vase, others more sprawling, spray style to stretch a greater length of the table and a few tall arrangments to make sure of the great ceiling height at Bowing Oaks. The combination of low centerpiece with “spray” is a great option for those who like the overall feel of garland, but also love something that feels more traditionally “centerpiece”.  It combines the best of both worlds and gives you more flexibility for types of floral and foliage that can be used. 

Southern Charm provided beautiful accent decor- including the lanterns noted above, centerpiece vessels, farm tables, vintage sofa & chairs, and linens.

Romantic Plantation Wedding

On a lovely September day Nicole & Elisha said, “I Do” to an everlasting love together at their Romantic Plantation Wedding at Bowing Oaks Plantation.

Nicole’s parents Karen & John just so happen to own the event planning business Mugwumps that helped make their day even more special. Set under a rustic alter gathered with family & friends, wedding photographer Jamie owner of Couture Studios captured every magical moment of their romantic plantation wedding. Dreamy hues of purple were used throughout this wedding. Nicole’s bridal bouquet was created using lavender roses, dark purple lisianthus and baby’s breath. Her bridesmaids wore one shoulder knee length plum dresses & carried bouquets of light green hydrangea. The centerpieces and altar arrangements contained lavender roses, light green hydrangea, purple liatrus,  lavender pom poms and baby’s breath. The mason jar floral centerpieces were placed on wooden slices and the arrangements used for the ceremony were placed on wine barrels in keeping with the overall rustic look of Bowing Oaks. The scrumptious buttercream cake was adorned with purple blooms. Right before the ceremony the rain started to became very strong but they didn’t miss a beat, the bridal party entered with umbrellas and everything went off as scheduled. Jamie was able to snap amazing pictures that were almost made even better by the rain!

Everything about Nicole & Elisha’s wedding was positively spectacular and we are so happy to have been apart of it.
