White Everything

Stuck on color swatches? Needless stress. Simplify your aesthetic with an ivory palette, like Sammie and Tim did for their Chesapeake Bay Beach Club wedding. “Growing up, I was obsessed with color; I always dreamed of having a rainbow wedding. It’s funny, how, as we mature into adulthood, our personalities change. As I became a neutral girl, I realized I wanted our venue covered from head to toe with as many white flowers as I could fit and afford…”

—SAMMIE JEFFERSON

Aisle

Steelcut Flower Co. arranged delphinium spires and foliage to make the aisle feel like a pathway through a secret garden.

Bouquet

Sammie’s bridal bouquet included orchids, baby’s breath, and white roses.

Bridesmaids

Sammie wanted her bridesmaids to wear white, too, but was worried that their dresses might clash with or eclipse her own look. In the end, however, she had no regrets about the aesthetic. “It looked so chic and really made the flowers pop,” Sammie says.
