This bride and groom presented an unusual theme to their wedding -both vendors and guests! They hosted a potluck reception and asked that all items offered were procured within a 100 mile radius of Belleville. The same was expected of the items I used. I travelled to several local markets and agricultural vendors in order to select the blooms and foliages for the ceremony arrangements, bouquets, table centres and cake top. Fortunately there was a lot of flexibility in the contents. I was able to use zinnias, glads, sedum, heliotrope, echinops, phlox, verbena bonariensis, chelone, and garden roses. We added additional texture from the centres of coneflowers, hops and berries, and finished with a wide variety of foliages including baptisia, euonymous,ninebark and flax.
