The Full Bouquet

Brittany - Briar Patch - Loudoun Weddings- Yellow & White

Last Spring I had the pleasure of providing these bright and happy yellow designs for Brittany and Greg. The wedding was another wonderful Loudoun County wedding that took place at the Briar Patch Inn.

Maids bouquets were created with mini white callas, and yellow billy balls. The bouquets also featured looped lily grass.

The bridal bouquet featured yellow tree peony, yellow roses, mini callas, mums, freesia, billy balls, and cream toned stock.

Event styling and design was done by Lisa Shulz of the Posh Planner.

The amazing photography was done by Genevieve Leiper.

Lisa designed a beautiful space, half of the tables featured white linens and white flowers. We brought large white carnation balls were showcased on the white tables.

The yellow tables had a popping yellow linen, and my rocking bright yellow centerpiece. We used yellow football mums, yellow roses, yellow orchids, yellow billy balls, yellow lily, and yellow carnations in these pieces.

I love the way the china changes it's look when placed on the yellow linen. This was so pretty...

Paper products were done by Christina Barbour owner of Paperzest.

The cake and cupcakes were made by the amazing Rocio Diaz.

I love, love, love, the look of this table.

This was a nice bright happy thought for today.... I love the things we do here at Holly Heider Chapple Flowers.

Laurie & Matt - Loudoun Wedding - Whitehall Manor

Believe it or not, I cried over this bouquet!! Last April I created this amazing bouquet for my bride, Laurie. It's hard to believe it has been almost a year since her wedding. It was the weekend of the Leesburg Flower and Garden Show and before I hit the show, I went into the garden to get my white lilac. Perhaps it was the sheer beauty of what I was creating, or the symbolism of making a bridal bouquet with my precious white lilac that had me in tears. I am not quite sure what pushed me over the edge, but I was indeed crying. I planted that lilac almost 18 years ago. I found my true love for flower design over the lilacs and the Leesburg Garden Show. The bouquet was also featured in Get Married Magazine last year.

The bouquet was created of white lilac (from my garden), sahara roses, white mini calla lily, white peony, and white stephanotis. Laurie brought me tiny crystals to insert into the bouquet and extra beading from her gown, which I used to wrap the stems.

We designed altar pieces with white callas, and white flowering branches.

The reception was held at my Whitehall, yes secretly in my dreams I am the owner of Whitehall.

This wedding also introduced me to the amazing talents of photographer Katelyn James. I just adore this fabulous artist, not only for her talent, but for her spirit, and her commitment.

A big huge shout out to Laurie, who made her own centerpieces. Stunning!!!

This Loudoun wedding was a beauty!!

SEXY BRIDAL BOUQUETS

In December I provided photographer Anne Robert with two bridal bouquets.  I made them just for fun and for the sheer pleasure of having more of Anne's amazing images in my portfolio. The first bouquet was inspired by the incredible burgundy hydrangea leaves that were growing right out my front door. I added blue privet berry, red cabbage roses, red tulips, arborvitae from the garden and magnolia to complete the design.

The next bouquet was created with white mini calla lily, white tulips, white cabbage, silver brunia, white cabbage roses, dusty miller, ornithogalum, dried wheat and lotus pods. The bouquet was wrapped in burlap.

I love these bouquets and I love these photographs. Thank you Anne for capturing my work so beautifully.

Happy Day!!!

ALISON & MATT - THE MERIDIAN HOUSE

Last May I designed the flowers for Alison and Matt's big wedding at the Meridian House. Alison was one of the easiest brides I have ever worked with.  Alison knew exactly what she wanted and I happened to be one of the things she wanted. Alison found me through the Washingtonian's best of list but my blog happened to be one of the very reasons she booked me. In fact Alison booked and deposited Holly Heider Chapple Flowers without a consultation. My blog gave her the inside look to what we do here, and she loved what she saw. 

Alison is one of the most beautiful brides I have ever seen. Every detail was so perfect. I remember standing in the courtyard of the Meridian House watching photographer Matt Mendelsohn get these shots and thinking WOW, like really, she is the quintessential elegant bride.

Alison chose a bridal bouquet of white peony, pink peony, lily of the valley and white ranunculus. The maids carried hot pink ranunculus, green hypericum berry and light and pink peony. Every blossom was chosen by my amazing bride.

The rooms of the Meridian House simply glowed. Elevated designs were created with white dendrobium orchids.

Low centerpieces were designed with white peony, green viburnum, mini green hydrangea, and white stock. The mantels were designed with clusters of peonies, and candlelight.

A traditional wedding cake for the bride.

A fun cake for the groom.

Many thanks to Matt Mendelsohn Photography for these lovely images. Applause and praise should also go to Design Cuisine for the catering and Ritzy Bee events for planning services.

Happy married life Alison and Matt!!! It was a honor to bring you my flowers.

SEXY BOUQUETS

This lovely bouquet was created for a photo shoot last Spring. I used white phalaenopsis orchids, double yellow tulips, brazilia berry, vendella roses, dusty miller, sahara roses, and seeded eucalyptus.

This bouquet was created with purple lilac, burgundy spray roses, wine colored snapdragons, purple anemone, seeded euc, blue privet berry, and purple hyacinthus.

Purple tulips and stock were used to create this very simple bouquet. Fiddle head ferns were used to give the bouquet a bit of flair. Hand crocheted florets adorned the stems.
