March 2024
We are back again at the beautiful Pear Tree Estate in Champaign to celebrate Rachel and Chris’ romantic spring wedding. After a long winter season, we were excited to work again with a fun mix of spring colors and seasonal flowers to bring this couple’s vision to life, featuring peach garden roses, yellow and pink ranunculus, purple clematis, blue delphinium, lavender tulips, sweet pea, daffodils, hyacinth, and hellebore to name just a few of our favorites. For Rachel, we designed a lush and romantic, organic shaped bouquet filled with the colorful spring blooms with minimal greenery for a clean and elegant finish. Chris stunned with his own, equally colorful custom pocket boutonniere to pop off his charcoal suit and match his beautiful bride.
We love a ceremony statement piece and Pear Tree’s newly updated fireplace was the perfect canvas for the large mantle floral arrangement to accompany the bride and groom during their intimate exchange of vows. The full and romantic draping design of the floral piece paired with scattered rose petals, flickering candles and firelight glow set the atmosphere for the rest of the magical evening.
The reception space was filled with a mix of clean white round tables and long farmhouse tables each with a single impactful flower arrangement filled with lush pink, peach, lavender, and blue fresh spring blooms in simple, elegant clear glass compote bowls. The couple added their own colorful touch of pink, yellow, and blue pastel taper candles in clear holders to pair with the flowers and add a warm and welcoming glow to the tables. For Rachel and Chris’ sweetheart table, we repurposed the bridal bouquet as a centerpiece in a glass vase to be enjoyed the whole evening with simple, romantic stemmed votive candles on either side popping off the dark farmhouse table.
Intimate weddings sometimes leave the longest lasting impression with flower statements throughout making more impact with less. We certainly will be dreaming about this one again and again in hopes for another opportunity to create something just as fun and colorful. Until then, we thank you for entrusting J.Blu with your wedding dreams and wish you a lifetime of happiness. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs.!
