Berwood Hill Inn Wedding

I was lucky enough to recently do the flowers for Emily and Nik's bed and breakfast wedding!  They had a beautiful setting at the Berwood Hill Inn in Lanesboro, MN, an incredibly perfect day, and the most wonderful little DIY touches that Emily and her bridesmaid's and friends provided.  Emily had a great vision from the start and I was just happy to go along for the ride.  The venue was really beautiful, as you'll be able to see from the photos.  I only have limited ones at this time, but I know the professional photos will be incredible! Here's a sneak peek...

Emily wanted white as a base for her flowers and then pops of reds, yellows, and oranges.  We did a mix of several different flowers in both her bouquet and the bridesmaids' bouquets.  We wrapped them in burlap, lace, and twine and then the bridal bouquet had her something blue - a rosary that belonged to her grandmother - attached to her bridal bouquet.  Unfortunately I don't have great photos of any of these, but I'll share what I have.  More to come!

We did mixes of white stock, dahlias, football mums, roses, spray roses, aster, delphinium, veronica, and lisianthus.   Then we added pops of color with spray roses, circus roses, ranunculus, dahlias, wax flower, and billy balls.  The greens were variegated pittosporum and greens from the delphinium, dahilas, lisianthus, etc.

 The ceremony space was in a lovely open part of the gardens in the back of the house.  They had lush gardens with lots of green and white hydrangeas at the front of the ceremony space, and then there was an arch/trellis that had all kinds of greenery.  That led to an opening where you could go into the gardens further.  They had a table set up for some remembrance flowers and a vow box they had personalized for the ceremony.  We made two arrangements for the sides of the altar area.  These were made mainly with a mix of the flowers we used in the bouquets.  We sprinkled the aisles with red, circus, yellow, and white petals.

 

For the reception area, the bride made burlap table runners and rustic looking table numbers, and we added mixes of wooden boxes, different jars, bottles, vases, votives, floating candles, etc,.  The bride and some of her bridesmaids and mom came to my shop and we worked together to add some lace and burlap and raffia to some of the different bottles and vases.  The idea was just to get a little bit different look on each table.  We just did a mix of colors and flower types throughout the venue.  The bride also made some awesome cloth napkins in varying patterns to add a touch of color and uniqueness to each table.

Most of the tables were in a renovated chicken coop with twinkle lights hanging above, but that room opened up onto a nice covered deck where the sweetheart table and family tables were located.  On each of these tables, we had large jars with stones for the bridesmaids' and bridal bouquets.

Here are just some more shots of the area...and some of the other details the bride made.  She even had outdoor lawn games for the guests, as well as some cute kids tables outside with games for them as well.  

What a beautiful place for a wedding weekend!  Can't wait for the professional photos :)
