At She Loves Me, we believe wedding flowers should feel like you—natural, effortless, and anything but ordinary. For this stunning wedding at Historic Tuckahoe in Richmond, Virginia, we designed non-traditional, textural wedding florals that celebrated the wild, living beauty of nature.
Rather than relying on big, bold blooms, we let green hydrangea kissed with red, local grasses, and unique greenery tell the story. The result was a modern garden-style wedding that felt both wildly untamed and beautifully refined.
Our Approach to Textural Wedding Flowers
Every stem was chosen with intention. We started with a base of rare green hydrangea touched with red—a tough-to-find variety that we worked hard to source through our trusted partners. From there, we layered in locally grown grasses, trailing vines, and a mix of greenery that felt fresh and unpredictable.
Nothing about this design was one-note. The final look was a captivating tangle of wildness that somehow managed to look completely polished—proof that texture alone can create major impact without relying on oversized blooms or traditional compositions.
Natural Ceremony Florals That Blended Into the Garden
Set in the gossamer gardens of Historic Tuckahoe, the ceremony design was all about blending in with the natural surroundings. Our florals appeared to have grown straight from the earth—a lush, organic installation that felt right at home among the historic property’s meadows and greenery.
This “grown-in-place” look is one of our favorite approaches to outdoor weddings. It keeps the focus on the couple while creating an atmosphere that feels grounded, soft, and storybook-romantic.
A Non-Traditional Wedding Bouquet with Wild Clematis
The bride’s bouquet was a textural dream: dainty Queen Anne’s lace, trailing clematis vines, and a lush mix of greenery that brought movement and airiness to her look. She described it as “better than she could have imagined.”
It’s a perfect example of how small, intricate details—like the curve of a vine or the flutter of lace-like petals—can make a bouquet feel deeply personal and memorable.
