We embraced a soft, romantic palette of mauves, lilacs, soft blush, creamy whites, and pops of warm pinks and plums. These tones were drawn directly from what was blooming in the garden itself. Seasonal spring blooms and flowering shrubs and trees, such as lilac, cherry blossoms, rhododendrons, camellias, and tulips, allow the florals to feel truly grounded in time and place.
The shoot was full of quiet, beautiful moments, but one that stayed with us happened during setup. As Katy was arranging the baskets beneath the cherry blossom tree, a gentle flurry of petals began to fall, landing softly around the flowers. Without hesitation, we agreed to leave them exactly where they were. That spontaneous touch perfectly captured the spirit of the day – romantic, serene, and deeply connected to the season.
