Once I got my dress on, I was itching to get my grubby hands on my bouquet. Luckily, my bridesmaids had brought all the bouquets up to the bridal suite. I immediately rushed over to see my bouquet. The sweet smell of the peonies was absolutely intoxicating and I was completely in love.
Photographing these beauties however presented quite a challenge. Our photographers requested that the bouquets be delivered to the house my parent’s were renting since that’s where they would be taking our detail shots. Even though I specifically asked our florist to drop off the bouquets with me, she dropped them off in the main mansion. That threw off Jason and Cicely’s timing as they had to go to the mansion to take pictures and come back, eating away precious time for pictures.
Jason and Cicely were really sweet about the whole thing, even though it wasn’t their fault. The day after our wedding, along with reshooting our rings, Cicely asked if I could bring my bouquet so that she could get some more shots. Seriously, could they be anymore amazing?
The shots below are a compilation of shots taken at Antrim on our wedding day and a few taken the next day at a church in Silver Spring . Jason and Cicely did such a good job scouting this location. If I didn’t tell you it was somewhere else, you would totally think it was part of Antrim’s property.
For my bouquet, I requested a simple ribbon wrapped bouquet of pale pink peonies.
They ended up not being as pink as I requested but in the grand scheme of things I’m sure no one could tell.
As an ode to my beloved great grandparents, I bought a vintage locket on Etsy and placed their wedding picture inside.
For my bridesmaids, I asked for an equally simple bouquet, white peonies wrapped in pink ribbon.
Together, the bouquets really complemented one another.
My bouquet played off the pink of my bridesmaids’ dresses and their bouquets complemented my ivory dress.
Sigh, if only there was a reason that I need peonies every day. You seriously can’t be in a bad mood staring at them.
Thanks again to Jason and Cicely for going so above and beyond to make sure we got these pictures. I seriously owe you guys!
