Sage and Celadon

Celadon and sage greens create a cool backdrop for this August wedding. The bridal party, in David's Bridal peridot green, carry a mix of antique green, cream and soft mauve hydrangea hand-tied with peridot organza ribbons. Small tin buckets filled with antique green hydrangeas from www.fiftyflowers.com grace the pews in this country church. Larger tin buckets with more hydrangea atop crisp white linens continues this cool look into the church's fellowship hall for the luncheon reception. For the guest's dining pleasure, the menu includes an assortment of light salads, cool sandwiches and cold drinks. Sour cream chocolate cake with white chocolate frosting decorated with gum paste hydrangea blossoms completes the meal. Because hydrangea blossoms are really many small flowers grouped together they lend themselves to many uses; bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, as well as decor require fewer stems to achieve a full, lush look.
