Weddings can be described as one of the most important days in any person’s life. From the flowers to the venue, every detail adds to the magic of the day. One wedding that stands out in terms of its creative and whimsical nature is the wedding of Hannah and Luke at French House in Cincinnati, Ohio. Hannah’s use of heirloom-collected vessels and containers from her family, as well as her bouquet filled with vibrant summer colors, made the wedding an experience to remember. In this blog post, we invite you to take a closer look at this beautiful and unique wedding and how the couple made it a day to remember.
The first thing that caught the eye of anyone who attended the wedding was the picturesque centerpieces that sat atop each table. Hannah’s use of vessels and containers from her family was a unique touch that added a touch of nostalgia and history to the ceremony. One such vessel was a water pitcher from her grandmother’s depression glass collection, which was used to hold the stunning and vibrant flowers. Another heirloom used were the candle holders from the mother of the brides wedding. The mixture of light blue delphinium, coral peonies, magenta sweet peas, jasmine vine, peach ranunculus, light pink ranunculus, scabiosa, and greenery made for an explosion of summer colors that took everyone’s breath away.
The wedding ceremony was held in the Sunken Garden at French House, which added to the charm and intimacy of the day. The stacked Harlow-style stands with coordinated floral arrangements created a unity that tied everything together. The beauty of the garden was further enhanced by the bright sunshine that filled the area. As the couple exchanged their vows, there was a serene beauty that overwhelmed the entire setting.
As the day went on, the guests were moved to the cocktail hour area, where they were greeted with more beautiful and unique touches. The centerpieces were moved from the tables and placed in front of the sweetheart’s table, giving the bridal couple a beautiful backdrop. One unique touch that stood out was the fresh new Nike sneakers that were placed under the table for them to change into after the first dance. The use of sneakers, while unconventional, added a fun and playful touch to the day.
The final touch that made the wedding memorable was Hannah’s description of the wedding as a “whimsical garden.” The vibrant pinks and whites mixed with the greenery made for a surreal and dreamlike atmosphere. It was as if the couple was standing in the middle of a magical garden, surrounded by beauty of every kind. It was as though the love that filled the air had transformed everything around to match the happiness of the day.
