Real Weddings: A June Wedding at Audrey’s
Lacy and Phil's June wedding was an expression of soft romance layered with lush greenery, delicate florals, and timeless whispy details. Set against the backdrop of early summer in the Hudson Valley, the design embraced a palette of creamy whites, fresh greens, and blush-toned candlelight, creating an atmosphere that felt both elegant and inspired by Audrey's Greenhouse surroundings.
Drawing inspiration from the semi-industrial/semi-organic setting, we leaned into the beauty of abundant plant life and natural textures. The space felt alive with movement, featuring airy stems and florets that wound their way across the tables, over and under candles — kissing wine glasses and flirting with adjacent floral arrangements — adding a sense of whimsy and softness throughout the celebration.
Locally sourced Hudson Valley flowers brought a hyper seasonal & garden-inspired quality to the design. Delicate blooms in soft shades of cream, linen and white mingled with lacy greenery, creating arrangements that felt fresh, romantic, and connected to the bucolic hudson valley landscape around them. Each floral element was designed to feel natural and unstructured, as though it had grown perfectly into place. thoughtfully haphazard, as I lovingly call it.
The tables were adorned with a collection of crystal-clear and soft stone vessels, offering subtle contrast while maintaining the refined, understated aesthetic. The transparency of the glass allowed the flowers to take center stage, while the stone pieces grounded the design with an earthy elegance. Blush-toned taper candles cast a warm glow across the room, bringing depth and intimacy to the palette as the evening unfolded.
From the cascading greenery in the ceremony to the candlelit tables, every detail worked together to create a celebration that felt sweet, romantic, inviting, and timeless. Lacy and Phil's wedding was a beautiful reflection of themselves and their sweet love.
The Ceremony:
we kept it simple. the courtyard at Audrey’s is such a sweet little patio with thoughtful container landscaping, so we felt that it just needed a few touches to connect all of the events together. two flanking arrangements on wooden pedestals were impactful and striking in their design. Overflowing and joyful, creating a soft place to land for the vows.
The entrance to the aisle also had symmetrical entrance arrangements to bookend the ceremony walk.
These pieces were designed with repurposing in mind, so that everyone could continue to enjoy these florals throughout the rest of the evening.

The Details
Selecting each component that goes on the table is important to the complete feeling of the day. For Lacy & Phil, we selected a mixture of contemporary glass and ceramic bud vases to dance down the table. Accompanied by stoneware kenzan (flower frog) bowls, and lightly vintage votive glass, the tables felt collected and considered, but unfussy. The entire dinner scene was built for conversation, curiosity and connection.
White & Green… but Different
It’s true, we love color here at Flora Good Times. We’ve certainly carved out a niche for bold and playful blooms, and we love it. But, don’t get it twisted — a clean and fresh white and green palette can feel fun and whimsical, too, as long as you don’t let the palette take control of what you think is possible.
Clean white and green is probably the most “traditional” take on the wedding color palette. It can take on a lot of different personalities without stealing the show. It can also get revisited over (and over… and over) and not evolve with the times.
Lacy & Phil’s soft palette — including white & green… but so much more! — called in to the brightly lit space at Audrey’s. A dining Greenhouse, with long, warm wooden tables and lightweight runners lent itself to a design that felt fresh, alive and unusual. While many flowers come in white, green, and cream, we opted for blooms with interesting shapes, stems, and foliage. The tablescape was brought together to dance down the length of the dining room, with twinkling candles and beautiful warm, neutral pillar candles to add a second story of Glow as the sun set.
in a room already full of so much green, the bright pops of white, linen, cream and the tiniest kisses of purple, pink and yellow really asked the guests to lean in and enjoy the table. Enjoy each other. and stay present.
