Lindsay and Gunnar's June wedding at Sage & Social in Mulino, Oregon, was filled with soft pinks, garden-inspired florals, and plenty of peonies. Lindsay knew exactly what she wanted for her wedding flowers: peonies, and lots of them! We built the floral design around those beautiful, ruffled blooms, pairing them with delicate seasonal flowers and loose greenery for a look that felt romantic without being overly formal.
A Peony-Filled Bridal Bouquet
The bridal bouquet brought together layers of blush and pink peonies, sweet peas, and trailing greenery. I love working with peonies because they bring so much natural movement and personality to an arrangement. Their ruffled petals and varying stages of bloom made each one a little different, adding to the relaxed, garden-gathered feel of the bouquet.
Seasonality and sustainability were also important parts of this wedding's floral design. We used a majority of locally grown flowers and designed everything without floral foam. It's always rewarding to create wedding flowers that reflect the season while being thoughtful about how they're sourced and designed.
Garden-Inspired Ceremony Flowers
For the ceremony at Sage & Social, we created two large floral arrangements on white pedestals to frame Lindsay and Gunnar as they exchanged vows. Peonies, roses, foxglove, and other seasonal blooms came together in loose, garden-inspired shapes, with stems that naturally curved and reached beyond the arrangements.
The soft pink and blush palette stood out beautifully against the venue's clean, neutral backdrop. Rather than creating something overly structured, we wanted the flowers to have a little movement and an organic quality that felt connected to the surrounding landscape.
Romantic June Wedding Reception Flowers
For the reception, we carried the floral design into the tablescapes with clusters of bud vases and delicate strands of vining greenery running along the long tables. Sweet peas, delphinium, foxglove, and garden roses added little pockets of color and texture throughout the space.
I love the way bud vases can bring a table to life without making it feel crowded. Using several smaller arrangements instead of one large centerpiece gave the tables a collected look, almost as if little bunches of flowers had been gathered throughout the garden and brought inside for dinner.
The overall look felt light, welcoming, and just right for an early summer celebration. The combination of simple greenery, seasonal flowers, and soft pink blooms complemented the modern farmhouse setting without competing with it.
Wedding Flowers at Sage & Social
From Lindsay's peony-filled bouquet to the ceremony arrangements and reception bud vases, this wedding was a lovely example of how a cohesive floral design can carry throughout an entire celebration. We kept the palette soft and romantic, but allowed the natural shapes and textures of each flower to bring in a little playfulness.
Sage & Social is a beautiful setting for couples who love the combination of a modern event space and natural surroundings. It was a pleasure to bring Lindsay and Gunnar's floral vision to life and create wedding flowers that felt every bit as joyful as their summer celebration.
