Only Love is All Maroon

December 15, 2017 by Julie Piazza in Flower Magic

Throughout history, roses have reigned as the ultimate symbol of passionate affection. Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, is most often shown dressed with roses around her head and feet. In literature, roses frequently symbolize beauty; “a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.” To have your fortune read, drawing a rose from a Tarot deck suggests harmony. A rose with seven petals is emblematic of universal understanding and order. 

The color red too has a long, storied past. A viscerally alive tone, red is the longest wavelength of color and is believed to be the first color a baby sees. Red evokes the strongest of emotions in different cultures. In India, red is a powerful color, depicting wealth and fertility. Represented in traditional Indian weddings, brides wear sindoor, a red powder along their hairlines and intricately painted henna ink on their hands. The Chinese wear red during their New Year. It is meant to bring luck and prosperity.

Roses and the color red both serve as a symbol for classic romance. Together, they are regarded as the hallmark of love and sacrifice. It is easy to see why the Queen of Heart’s playing cards nearly lost their heads for painting roses red.

Red offers the perfect range of shades for autumn and winter color stories. Mallory and Joe married when fall began its subtle transition to winter. For a visually rich, intriguing impact, accents of Marsala—a ruby-wine-red that shows elegance and crimson with hints of blue-reds denote dignity were emphasized. A palette of lavish and romantic blooms highlighted the season and made Mallory and Joe’s wedding beautiful, original, and memorable.

We love the silk robes worn by Mallory and her bridesmaids. The beautiful rose and amber color palette using a mixture of bountiful floral prints was the perfect touch of glam.

With attire, there is no shortage of gorgeous possibilities during the colder months. Mallory’s elegant wedding gown was proof. Her long-sleeved lace dress could be worn either in the past or present. Adorned with roses and peonies—much like Aphrodite—her dress and crown bespoke graceful charm, forever in style.

Evoking feelings of warmth and playfulness, the spectrum of red with all of its nuances quickly infuses a pop of color into any wardrobe. Reminiscent of layered red rose petals, Marsala’s dramatic characteristics are enhanced when the color is combined with texture. For the bridesmaids walk down the aisle, the deep, saturated color was ideal for their floor-length lace gowns. The groom and his men wore dark plaid suits, a nod to the season, and trim, red bowties.

Mallory’s overflowing bouquet was crafted with full blooms of roses in vibrant reds and burgundy. Mixing blush peonies, greenery, and the unique addition of blue thistle supplemented the plush roses, sweetening their depth. Mallory’s beautiful bridesmaids and Joe’s dapper groomsmen accessorized with poises of pale and deep red flowers—scale versions of the bride’s—for their bouquets and boutonnières.

Whether your preference is a wedding al fresco or the sanctuary of a church, floral arches give structure to a space and add dimension. Mallory and Joe exchanged their vows under a dramatic arch composed of woven branches filled with greenery and decorated with clusters of roses and peonies. 

Theirs was a beautiful, warm and welcoming soiree, artfully combining elements of vintage glamour and romance against a rustic backdrop. Family and friends gathered in the cathedral forest of eastern Pennsylvania; trees were not entirely bare as the sunlight shone through branches. Despite a lack of foliage, a palette of colorful blooms, and natural details gave the effect of lush and bold.

Inside the Pump House B&B, the restored warehouse’s rustic charm drew guests into its embracing warmth. Exposed red-brown brick walls emanated a sophisticated, natural earthiness, grounding an otherwise industrial aesthetic with steel beams and cement floor. Much like other incorporated elements, Mallory and Joe's elegant reception décor was heavily inspired by Marsala and roses. Coordinating wedding napkins hung between white, printed china appose vintage gem-tone goblets and tall, sleek candlesticks. A cornucopia of greens wreathed along tables adding levity to decadent tones. Mallory (sofa) fit perfectly at the sweetheart table. Her upholstery, “bluer than velvet was the night, softer than satin was the light stars,” embodying tender moments from our grandparent’s rosewater reveries. The beautiful scapes were skillfully curated by Patchwork Planning using Chippy White Table’s boutique pieces and Fox Hill Farm’s effusive florals and greens.
