There are few trees more southern than the magnolia. Our bride wanted a timeless and classic look with some of her favorite blossoms. These are one of the few flowers I will use a high-quality silk substitute for, because they wilt nearly immediately upon being cut from the tree. We can’t even order them wholesale, for that reason!

We ended up marrying the silk stems with a variety of crisp white blooms to tie it together. I used fresh magnolia and camellia foliage to add a warm, rich green to the flowers. It was a perfectly timeless look for a fall wedding in Aiken.
