Continuing our recap of last year by season, below are some highlights we captured of our wedding work last summer. Summer ushers in some of my favorite local blooms such as dahlias, coxcomb, and cosmos. Some of my favorites from the neighboring seasons are also available, such as peonies from spring and berried branches from fall.

For longer tables, a pair of arrangements down their length is more appropriate than a single centerpiece. These tables at South Branch Tavern were decorated with low and lush arrangement in white, featuring hydrangea and peonies.
These bright and cheerful centerpieces at Uncommon Ground decorated the tables. Summer bloom such as sunflowers, hydrangea, and cornflowers provided a pop of color.
