Stephanie & Jon’s Summer Wedding at the Saltbox Barn
A couple bursting with joy – and flowers to match
This last summer we had the pleasure of designing for Stephanie & Jon’s wedding at The Saltbox Barn in the beautiful Skagit Valley. It was an incredibly joyful event for guests and vendors alike – the positive energy and obvious love were palpable! So of course, it made perfect sense that our floral designs matched the abundance, color, and vibrancy of the couple, the guests, and the day as a whole.
Vibrant summertime blooms from local farms
For Stephanie & Jon’s wedding at The Saltbox Barn, we used ingredients sourced 100% from the Noctua Florals cutting garden and our favorite Whatcom County growers. Stunning heirloom roses, movement-rich disidus & delphinium, all the textural goodness of celosia, yarrow and jewels of opar. . . pure magic!
The overall design was a true summer celebration of all things joyful, with elegance and subtle romance throughout. We wanted to blend the classic romance of the soft pink heirloom roses, the springtime feel of the pale blue tweedia, & bright pops of fuschia throughout to add somewhat of an element of surprise. The palpable energy & joy from such colorful floral bounty were just incredible!
A fusion of textures amid the vibrant color palette
One element to floral design that we are incredibly intentional about here at Noctua Florals is TEXTURE!, and the way that texture can add incredible depth & dimension to any floral arrangement. Textures are what bring a piece to life- soft full petals juxtaposed with feathery grasses, sprays of small, exquisite flowers against unique striations on foliage, or the movement of elegant vines complimented with lush fruits. When you’re intentional about both the tactile & visual textures of florals, you’re truly able to add layers, draw the viewers’ eye to different important elements, and accent your flowers in the way you’d like them to appear.
For the florals at Stephanie & Jon’s wedding, not only in the bridal bouquet, but also in the boutonnieres, the bouquets set atop the barrels at the end of the aisle, and the grounded floral installation at the altar, we paid close attention to the textures of the blooms we curated. The soft, delicate pattern of the heirloom roses & tweedia, designed with the repeated shapes of eucalyptus & dahlias, contrasted against the bold elegance of celosia & yarrow created a stunning fusion of textures were a true celebration of the couple’s love and all things summer floral bounty!
