Top 10 Pics | Chelsea & Brandon | Bartram’s Gardens

Our creative direction for this Bartram’s Gardens October wedding was, “That 70’s Show basement” vibes. We returned that incredible serve with a retro color palette of strong oranges and yellows for this Oaklyn, NJ, couple. Chelsea and Brandon were the absolute easiest to work with and we had so much fun designing their personals and reception flowers. Featured local blooms included the last dahlias of the season, marigolds and safflower.

Chelsea was giving off so much main character energy that wildlife starting gathering around her. Peep that photo of the bee landing on some fluffy safflower in her bridal bouquet.

Couple Testimonial

“I was really lucky to book South Stems as my wedding florist. I had been following and loving her floral design on Instagram for a while and she was the first and only florist that I contacted in my hunt. I wanted beautiful, modern floral, from local growers, and someone who is mindful of sustainability - South Stems checked every box and more.

Cara responded immediately and enthusiastically to my inquiry. I didn't have a clear vision of my wedding decor, but after giving some details about myself and my husband, our interests, our vibes, she came back with a mood board that brought my vision into focus. It was the first time I could really see what my wedding day would look like and it was EMOTIONAL. I didn't have colors in mind, no specific flowers in mind. I literally gave her nothing to work with yet she still somehow came back with the most perfect representation of my husband and I.

Throughout the rest of the way, Cara was there, ready to help, ready to support me. She really was authentically invested in all of the details of my wedding. When I stepped inside of my reception hall and got my first look at all of the tables, especially our head table, I just melted inside. She killed it. It was the mood board come to life. It was us.”
