Bright Modern Wedding at Athenaeum Hotel in Chautauqua Institution
Shannon & Alex’s September 2023 wedding at the Athenaeum Hotel in the Chautauqua Institution was one for the books. Shannon’s vision of her wedding was an absolute dream for us to see through… as a ceramicist and illustrator, she has impeccable taste and an eye for unsuspecting beauty. We brought her vision of bright, wild, unstructured floral with flowers grown 100% on our flower farm.
The color palette for this wedding leaned heavily on bright oranges and pinks. Pops of white, blue, yellow and minimal pops of greenery adorned every corner of the Athenaeum Hotel. Shannon specifically requested a muted color palette for ceremony pieces, which included draping ivy and kiwi vines.
Our own farm-grown flowers included dahlias, zinnias, cosmos, lisianthus, yarrow, sedum, scabiosa, goldenrod, verbascum seed pods, hosta flowers, craspedia, alliums, delphinium, northern sea oats, hydrangea, and so much more.
