Hi Robyn,

I am actually getting married at the RBF in October, and Daria is our photographer. After seeing all your beautiful wedding pictures, I almost feel like I know you! I really admired how simply elegant everything was. Would it be possible to email you a couple questions regarding the barn setup?

Beautifully done!

The groomsmen ties were all the same. Those are all from JCrew. I originally wanted a dark purple one for them but I had a hard time finding one that would match the bridesmaid’s dresses. I let my husband pick out his own tie and he picked out the dark silver and black tie which was from Brooks Brothers. I then saw the dark solid silver ties from JCrew and they were on sale for $9.99 so I figured I just had to get them I was happy with the way it all pulled together and everyone wasn’t too matchy.

Those are some of the flowers that my florist has recommended as well!! I had a feeling that they were similar because that is what I pictured when she and I talked about it last!
My wedding is in November. For me I really like the idea of the ivory/green with the dress color!
I loved your striped ties too! It looks from the pictures that they were all different. Where did you get them?

Thanks! Our wedding was in September.

To be honest I wasn’t too picky about the actual types of flowers that were used. I just knew the colors and the style of flowers I wanted. My florist did an amazing job of reading exactly what I wanted after our many discussions and meetings. I never saw a mock up or anything beforehand. The florist I chose however does grow a lot of her own flowers on her property. So I used mainly flowers that were in season. These are just a few I can remember off the top of my head: Hydrangeas, lisianthus, dahlias, freesia, ranunculus, zinnias, white scabiosa, sweet peas, bachelor buttons, hypernicum berries and nicotiana.

Hi Robyn!
What a beautiful wedding! I just picked my bridesmaid dresses and they are very similar in color to yours. The palette I am thing of using is also similar!
What types of flowers did you have?
What time of year was your wedding?

I would love to ask robyn a few questions…it is amazing, her wedding is EXACTLY everything I want (except chocalate accents instead of purple)… It blew my mind how similar our tastes are, right down to the striped tie and the flower arrangements…

if there is anyway I can email her to ask her a few questions, that would be wonderful!

Thanks
