The florist focused on creating works that were wild, natural, and whimsical with a touch of mystery. The materials used were gathered from the wild and from the florists’ garden. One flower crown is on dainty covered wire and the other on a coarser stronger wire for more of an upright crown effect. The bouquet is done in a natural, delicate style to compliment the bridal gown. It was made with the use of a Holly Chapple egg. The florals in the hand tied bouquet feature blowsy delicate garden roses, all grown by the florist. The bouquet also included spirea, fern bracken, amaranths, millet, clematis, nicandra, physocarpus, scabiosa, scented geranium, and rose hips.

The hairstylist created a loose, voluminous braid-like style to fit with the theme. She wanted a wild, natural look and did this by looping and pinning many small strands of hair to almost create the illusion of vines in the hair. Small flowers were placed throughout the braid.
