Wedding at The German Society of Pennsylvania

Back in September, I was asked to create a design for The German Society of Pennsylvania, an old restored building dating back to the 1830's.  The reception was in a large ballroom on the main floor, and the ceremony took place in a library on the top floor.  The collection in the library is the largest collection of German books in the world, outside of the German speaking countries.  This was truly a unique venue and I felt honored to be asked to step up to the challenge of decorating this space!

This romantic bridal bouquet was made of white hydrangea, white ranunculus, white freesia, creamy spray roses,  and accented with creamy astilbe.

The bridesmaid bouquets were made of white hydrangea, 
amnesia roses (yes, these roses are a grey-ish purple!) and accented with white freesia.

The decorations in the library were simple, yet elegant.  White draping was hung to create an altar and small posies made of purple roses, cream astilbe tied with pewter ribbon were used to decorate the aisle.

These stunning centerpieces are made of a spray of white dendrobium orchids and white Thai dendrobiums.  They are perched atop a 3-foot glass trumpet vase and accented by several stems of baby's breath and lit from the bottom with LED light.

This romantic cake topper is made of purple roses, white ranunculus and accented with rhinestones!








This was one of the most unique weddings I've had the pleasure of working on.  The bride fell in love with these gorgeous purplish-grey amnesia roses and they added the perfect bit of color to a stunning wedding!
