Heritage and tradition meet modern fashion sense. “We like to create an atmosphere that speaks to the bride’s sense of style,” says Kimberly Buffington of Flowerchild. “Once we hone in on that, we add florals that speak to her fashion sense.” Buffington and coordinator Janelle Panther of Pantherella combined the old with the new in order to cross generations, designing a space with appeal not only for the bride, but her friends and family, too. They used eye-catching jewels of white pearl, brass links, and crystal flecks.
