Wedding Flowers

Like a page torn from history these vintage garden-inspired weddings were whimsical and rustic. Featuring lovely, simple blooms in a style that looked like they were just gathered from a June garden, these arrangements were designed in mason jars, vintage milk glass, and antique bottles. 

The weddings took place outdoors at Colonial Dames in Center City Philadelphia, Bartram’s Gardens in West Philadelphia, the Audubon Center in Mill Grove and at Valley Green Inn along the Wissahickon in Fairmount Park. The eco-friendly flower arrangements complemented these outdoor historic venues and the simple elegant look that the couples desired to write the next chapter for the rest of their lives together.  Another bonus to getting married at a location like these is the ability to support a non-profit that you care about.  What better way to start things off in life than a gift to a favorite location that supports wildlife or horticultural exploration or historic preservation?

Spring wedding season is right around the corner here at Hana & Posy. The cherry blossoms are blooming, the daffodils are poking their heads out of the ground, and after March went out like a lion, we are now looking forward to warmer temperatures in April. Our wedding line-up is shaping up to look like quite a busy spring season. Our brides have visions for weddings from vintage garden party at the Colonial Dames to cocktail chic speakeasy at the Chestnut Club and everything in between. Their ideas for wedding flowers range from eco-friendly local tulip centerpieces to lush peony and orchid bridal bouquets. Some of the venues are close to our Old City Philadelphia shop, like the Moshulu floating nearby in the Delaware River and others are farther away, like the the woods of Riverbend Environmental Center in Gladwyne. We even have brides stopping in on their way to Philadelphia City Hall to pick up a bridal bouquet on their way to say their nuptials. We will update you on all the details as they happen. Until then, enjoy the weather!

Hana & Posy, Philadelphia’s eco-friendly florist, is happy to open our 2011 Philadelphia wedding flower season with the marriage of Houston Texans NFL Running Back Steve Slaton to his high school sweetheart Kim in a romantic ceremony at the Hyatt at the Bellevue. The couple returned to their hometown of Philadelphia and chose Gina Sole of The Wedding Planner to facilitate their big day. We partnered with Gina to create their vision for vintage chic wedding flowers and décor with details ranging from lighting and linens to candelabras and cloches.
