Ashton & Corey | Late Summer Country Sunflower Wedding at Laurel Mill in Heltonville, IN

September 2023

Ashton had a very clear vision for her and Corey’s wedding day. When it came to flowers, she wanted sunflowers front and center. For Ashton, we designed a large bouquet featuring the bright yellow blooms and softening their large faces by adding playa blanca roses, stock, feverfew and craspedia with accents of trailing ruscus and eucalyptus greenery to give the cascade shape she was looking for. Maids held similar, petite and round bouquets of the same blooms that popped off their neutral mauve floor length dresses. For Corey and his groomsmen, we designed one of a kind boutonnieres filled with complimenting mini yellow mums, white spray roses, craspedia, and eucalyptus greenery held together in gold shell casings provided by the groom.

The beautiful late summer wedding ceremony took place in front of large barn doors with a hanging ladder above that we covered in greenery and flowers paired with white swags to accompany the couple as they exchanged vows. This piece was able to be enjoyed all evening long as it doubled as the sweetheart table backdrop where a floral table runner completed the look for the reception. Guest tables were also filled with white and yellow flowers with classic antique gold compote bowl arrangements to sit on round tables while farmhouse tables alternated between large boxed arrangements and floating candles that served as runners down the long tables paired with simple votive candles.

We of course cannot forget the notable detail pieces we designed for the reception including a beautiful wine barrel topper, bar spray and more sunflowers for Ashton and Corey’s stunning four-tier, gold accented wedding cake. It’s not often we get the privilege to see our work after set-up but in the case of having family becoming clients, we got to enjoy the bright and cheery flowers all evening while partaking in the celebration of the new Mr. and Mrs. Henderson!
