Laura and Andrew’s personalities are as bright as the flowers and décor that La Petite Fleur used to style their fall wedding at Glen Foerd Mansion on the Delaware. From floral design, to stationery accessories, LPF helped the couple set a bright scene.



Along the riverside, Laura walked down an aisle framed with sweet ribbon swags in varying widths and shades of yellow. She was aglow carrying an elegant bouquet of tightly clustered white and butter yellow orchids, snap dragons, hydrangea, tulips and bupleurum— accented with petite trailing greens and satin-finished stems. To coordinate with his bride, Andrew wore a tailored boutonniere of petite yellow roses—accented with simple white blooms and greens. Even Glen Foerd’s famed black Labrador statue was dressed to impress with a collar of coordinating blooms and ribbon.

While the bridesmaids carried loosely arranged bouquets of yellow roses, tulips, mums and blue delphinium— finished with yellow satin— Laura’s maid-of-honor carried a gathering of deep blue delphinium and yellow blooms. Complementing the ladies’ flowers were the gentlemen’s boutonnieres in shades of blue with a touch of greens.




Guests enjoyed cocktails in the Mansion’s music room, where LPF adorned the mantle with textured greens and vintage mercury votives to frame the couple’s family photo collection. LPF also designed two centerpiece styles for the cocktail tables. Half of the tables were topped with a glass bubble bowl filled with swirled grasses and floating yellow blossoms; the others featured a collection of garden vases filled with single varieties, including delicate blue delphinium; and whimsical, yellow craspedia.

The escort card table boasted a stunning arrangement of Manzanita branches trimmed with leaves, hanging crystals and votives—surrounded by custom-designed pale yellow escort cards with raised navy ink and the couple’s logo.


Laura and Andrew hosted well-wishers for dinner and dancing in the Mansion’s grand conservatory where LPF presented two tablescape designs. One centerpiece featured a low, square glass planter with floating bright yellow mums— accented with moss and river rock clusters at the base— and mercury glass votives, for a touch of shimmer. The second centerpiece had a trio of glass vases, including a beribboned cylinder with submerged blue delphinium stems, and two garden-style bud vases with bright yellow tulips— also accented with moss river rock clusters and votives. To finish the look of each table, LPF placed custom-designed pale blue table cards, mounted to contrasting stock.
