Brimming with personality and charm, Megan and Steve came to La Petite Fleur for a coordinated, professional approach to infusing their wedding at Knowlton Mansion with sweet, all that is pretty in pink. 

Naturally, we were tickled pink to collaborate with the couple from day one through the day they became one— assisting with contract negotiations, creating and executing a flower and décor plan, and designing their save-the-dates and table cards.  LPF also had the pleasure of teaming with the bride and groom on coordination to ensure every last detail of their day was implemented with perfection.

Our design story begins with Megan and Steve’s custom save-the-date, which was created to coordinate with their invitation— using their engagement photo and shades of pink color palette. LPF’s think pink approach to the couple’s event was applied to not only the stationery, but to the flowers and décor, too! 

Megan walked down the aisle carrying a round, tailored presentation of blush pink garden roses with ivory satinfinished stems with crystal buttons, while her bridesmaids carried striking, variegated bouquets of pink ranunculus and hot pink attaché roses with gold satin-finished stems.  To coordinate, Steve wore a garden rose boutonnière with black satin finished-stems, and the groomsmen sported hot pink rose boutonnières.

Following their ceremony, the Mr. and Mrs. invited guests to celebrate with them at the regal Knowlton Mansion in Philadelphia.  Upon arrival, guests were greeted in the foyer by a trio of gold vases, in varying heights, with full, single-variety arrangements of white hydrangea, and Esperance and Baroness roses.
As well-wishers moved through the Mansion, they were met by an escort card display that boasted a dramatic presentation of blooming cherry blossom branches— accented with hanging votives— and cocktail tables adorned with eclectic collections of bud vases filled with individual varieties of pink blooms, including ranunculus and boronia.   

LPF had the mansion aglow with warm pink lighting illuminating the pillars and flooding the dance floor, courtesy of our colleagues at Synergetic Sound and Light.  Then, to punctuate the prettiness, we created three sophisticated, yet sweet, table-scape designs.  The first of which featured a rounded arrangement of Princess roses, as well as Esperance and Baroness roses in light, hot and rich shades of pink— in a muted gold cube. To complement this stunning composition, LPF added a gold turned candlestick, topped with a floating candle.

The second table-scape featured a footed-compote with a mounded arrangement of garden blooms, including white hydrangea, boronia, pink ranunculus, and pink Hot Lady roses and, for a hint of yellow, buplerum.

The final design in the table-scape trio was an updated take on a traditional composition of pink Hot Lady roses, dendrobium orchids, bright pink hydrangea and specialty grasses atop a pilsner vase.

To complete each table’s look, LPF custom-designed table cards, which featured pictures of Megan and Steve at  the age specific to the table’s number, matted against metallic stock.

For a final pop of pink, LPF finished the tiers of the couple’s cake with roses.
