EOLIA MANSION AT HARKNESS STATE MEMORIAL PARK IN WATERFORD, CT | CHER & ROBERT
This bold and beautiful wedding is almost too good to be true! Done in a burst of orange, grey, and blue, Cher designed a day filled with special touches, that spoke to the couple's heritage, career, and unique love story. Bud vases with blooms flourished around the room but the fabulous flowers didn't stop there! From the terracotta centerpieces to the rattan bridesmaids baskets, floral's by Loreta Daka were a feast for the eyes. These images taken by Rachel Marie Photos are sure to stand the test of time! Terracotta and rattan are having a moment and I'm here for it! The color wheel behind Cher's theme has been around for a few years now. One of the most popular hues is terracotta, but Cher had a way of making it all balance, pairing it with bright shades and POP's of color. For some romance, she added muted colors which brought sunshine and warmth to her decor. However, getting to know Cher, Robert, and their family is what I loved more! I truly have the best couples. I don't know what I do to deserve them but they have a way of finding me. Here's to the Mr. & Mrs.! Wishing you both lots of love, hugs, and kisses!
specialty flowers and fillers that were utilized in these wedding arrangements were country, toffee, tibet, princess miyuki, and white o'hara rose, astible, tweedia, chocolate queen anne's lace, zinnia, hydrangea, white anemone, echinacea, dahlia, blue delphinium, nigella, orange ranunculus, and weeping podocarpus
