Leah and Riley celebrated their wedding at Riley’s family estate — a beautiful private setting that felt personal, relaxed and full of meaning.
For their wedding flowers, Leah chose a timeless white and green palette with one clear request: she loved white dahlias and wanted them to be the star of her bridal bouquet.
The overall floral design was classic, soft and elegant, with white dahlias, roses, hydrangeas, seasonal white blooms and gentle greenery used throughout the day.
Leah’s White Dahlia Bridal Bouquet
Leah’s bridal bouquet was designed to feel full, soft and timeless, with white dahlias as the main feature.
The dahlias brought beautiful texture and softness, while roses, hydrangeas and other seasonal white blooms created a classic white bridal look. A touch of muted green eucalyptus gave the bouquet a natural, elegant finish, perfect for the outdoor estate setting.
For brides who love elegant white wedding flowers, white dahlias are a beautiful choice — romantic, refined and full of detail. They are generally available between January and April.
Elegant White Bridesmaids’ Bouquets
The bridesmaids carried matching white bouquets designed to complement Leah’s bouquet while keeping the overall look cohesive.
The white flowers looked especially beautiful against the deep green bridesmaids’ dresses, creating a fresh and timeless bridal party look.
Classic Buttonholes for the Groom and Groomsmen
Riley and the groomsmen wore simple white-and-green buttonholes to tie in with the bouquets and ceremony flowers.
The buttonholes were kept understated and elegant, adding a refined floral detail without feeling too heavy.
Romantic Ceremony Arch Flowers
For the outdoor ceremony, we styled the wooden arch with a lush white-and-green floral feature.
The flowers were placed to one side of the arch for a natural, garden-inspired feel, while soft white draping added movement and romance. The result was a simple but beautiful ceremony backdrop that suited the private family estate perfectly.
White Chair Flowers Repurposed for the Reception
Small white chair flowers were placed along the ceremony aisle in delicate glass bottles. They helped soften the aisle and carried the white floral palette through the ceremony space.
After the ceremony, these chair flowers were moved to the dinner reception and used to decorate the guest tables. This was a thoughtful way to repurpose the flowers and keep the styling cohesive throughout the day.
