celebration," says Rebecca Cole, of Rebecca Cole Design, in New
York City. "Done correctly, floral decorations set the mood for
the entire day, allowing the guests to share, albeit
vicariously, in that magical reverie between bride and groom."
So when Christina Ohly and Alexander Evans of Boston asked
Rebecca to provide the floral decorations and coordinate the
catering for their May wedding in Woodstock, Vt., she
immediately set out to create an ambience that would unite the
couple's urbane sophistication with the natural beauty of the
New England countryside.
The result was a striking combination of floral elements --
boldly colored tulips and poppies, aromatic lilacs, and
pastel-colored roses culled from country gardens. Antique tin
cans serve as vases, mason jars as candleholders, decorated
tiles as small serving plates, and pieces of native granite and
slate as serving boards. Even two old ladders, long retired,
were cleverly transformed into dramatic étagères. "Especially in
the country," muses Rebecca, "you're allowed -- even encouraged
-- to experiment. It's important to take your inspiration from
your setting and do everything you can to unite food, fashion,
and flowers on that special day."
Rebecca's tips for making the most of wedding flowers:
1. Choose your florist based on his or her style and experience,
then work out a budget. "Your florist should have the best taste
of anyone hired for the wedding," says Rebecca. "If that's not
the case, find another florist."
2. Don't limit flowers to bridal-party bouquets and table
settings. Use them throughout the space to create a sense of
visual drama.
3. Select a specific palette and dare to be bold. Often the best
effects are achieved with strong colors and contrasts.
