A business colleague of mine was married on Saturday and I thought
I would share some of the beautiful flowers.
The flowers were done by the inimitable Shelley from Bow Street Flowers.
The centerpiece on the buffet table.
On the right is the top layer of the cake with its sugar orchids.
My favorite was the bride's nosegay. Isn't it beautiful?
The fall flowers are also all across the city.
Our urban garden center has switched seasons almost overnight.
There are seas of mums...
...pumpkins and grasses...
...and a large variety of cabbages and ornamental kale.
I love going to the garden center in the rain. There's no one there and
I have the whole place to myself.
It's almost like a walk in the country.
I'm sure there are plenty more fall flowers at Jane's party.
The pumpkins and flowers in the rain are beautiful . . .
ReplyDeleteThe brides nosegay is STUNNING!
Congratulations to your friends, and and to Shelley on her beautiful flowers. I just love the subtle shades and wonderful textures of the nosegay.
ReplyDeleteI love also your flowers in the rain, it is all so fresh and seasonal. Thanks for sharing, love Linda x
Those wedding flowers are lovely. I love potted mums outdoors in the Fall but I can never find the red ones where I live.
ReplyDeleteShelley always gets it right! Your garden center pictures are beautiful--you have really captured the beauty of autumn. Both soft and crisp.
ReplyDeleteA sure sign of fall when the fall flowers and pumpkins arrive in the city! I'm looking for mine this week. Enjoy the beginning of this wonderful season.
ReplyDeleteWell this just put a big smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteShelly's flowers are sensational.
What fun for you, you had connections all around you on Saturday.
And your autumn in the rain pics are beautiful and make me wish it was gently raining here so I didn't have to go out and water.

Was going to rave about the white pumpkins until I saw the mums in the rain - what a great photo.
ReplyDeleteHope that bride realizes how lucky she was to have Shelley. Thoughtful of you to share with us tho, Shelley doesn't do it often enough!
Enjoy getting ready for fall around your house!
Everything is so pretty...the flowers from the wedding and the seasonal mums and pumpkins and grasses...I do love this time of the year. I also love to go the nursery in the rain...Everything looks so pretty with raindrops and it's so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteI do miss pumpkins in Autumn. Of course we can buy them here but not in large Autumnal displays.
ReplyDeleteWhat were those lush white little flowers in the gorgeous nose gay?
All your photos are wonderful, it is hard to pick a favorite although the sea of mums really makes me smile and think of autumn. Oops forgot, love the pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteYes this is why I love fall!
ReplyDeleteHow I love flower photos! Thanks for sharing your wonderful ones with us.

Lovely images. A close-up of that lavendar cabbage center would make a great Georgia O'Keefe painting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower arrangements! I was in Pennsylvania over the weekend and bought lots of pumpkins.....white ones, of course :) Going to get some white mums this weekend!
ReplyDeleteThose wedding flowers are gorgeous, leave it to Shelley. The nosegay is spectacular. Just this morning I was thinking that I have to get to the garden center for Fall mums and your pictures are pushingme out the door.
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely, lovely! Especially the bride's nosegay and that fabulous unblemeshed decorative cabbage.
ReplyDeleteWhoever did those flowers definitely has talent! I love the cabbages the best - gorgeous designs directly from Mother Nature. I hope you're well Steve - sounds like you are enjoying Fall so far. :)
ReplyDeleteStunning wedding flowers - just so detailed and exquisite.
ReplyDeleteI am utterly envious of your garden centers. I think ours only have three colours of mums or are already closed....
Steve! you took good photos of the flowers: mine were crap. Thanks for posting them!
ReplyDeleteIs that Pemberton? You've launched us into Fall for sure!
stunning...nature is just the best form of art
ReplyDeleteThose bridal flowers are so beautiful-- so artistic, so unexpected and lovely. So NOT what everyone else does! Your friend Shelly is truly talented. Thanks for letting us see her work. Now, as for your photography -- unbelievable! Again. The composition of the pumpkin shot is so utterly perfect. And the rain shot of the flowers, and then the cabbage. Really, Steve, it is such a pleasure to see your images.
ReplyDeleteI love the "carpet" of mums....very pretty.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your bedroom redo when you are finished.
Ditto to every single word that Carol wrote.
ReplyDeleteThe bride's nosegay is stunning. Perfect for a fall wedding. I could spend all day poking through the garden center.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with the adorable flowers and berries in the first photo - the same as the bride's nosegay! Can you name them for us? I love all of your photos, they are so beautiful. I did check out the florist's blog as well! Love your blog, thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThe Stephanotis in the bride bouquet drew me into this post. So nice! Thanks for inspiring us all again - now to go buy some flowering kale...
ReplyDeleteI love red and pink flowers together and the snowberries. Gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteThat must have been some wedding cause those flowers are pretty dang fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSo it's fall.....better yank out the dead summer flowers and get busy.
Oh I love the garden centre on a rainy day too!!! Hot chocolate in hand - a perfect day! Sinead
ReplyDeleteI know I've visited here before Steve and I came back compliments of FITH party (which Annie introduced me to) - hope to join in one of these days. Beautiful flowers at your friends event.
ReplyDeleteyour house is so beautiful!! and so is your blog - had so much fun reading it the past hour. Adding you to my blog roll. thanks!!!

Don't tell my daughter, but I've started a file of wedding ideas, should she ever decide to go there, and this bride's nose gay is going in it!
ReplyDeleteI agree.... that nosegay is spectacular! Looks like it was a beautiful wedding.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blooms!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty wedding that had to be.
I am loving the last pix of the greenish-grey cabbages, with their purple centers-that's fall to me :)
The wedding flowers are simply gorgeous. So different than the norm - and so stunning.

ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the nosegay, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhite flowers with a heart of pearls, what a beautifully creative idea, I have never seen that before, it makes a very special nosegay.
ReplyDeleteLove the cabbage and pumpkins! Perfect for this time of year!
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers Shelley did, the snowberries are lovely.
