Purple and Lavender Wedding Flowers for a Wedding at Avanti Mansion in Hamburg, NY

Lipinoga Florist designed a beautiful combination of lavender, white and purple flowers for a wedding at the Avanti Mansion in Hamburg, NY. Both the wedding ceremony and reception were held outdoors, the ceremony was held by the pond and the reception under a tent on the Avanti Mansion grounds.

The bride carried a bouquet made by owner, Nancy Lipinoga, which included white roses, purple lisianthus and white stephanotis. The bridesmaids carried bouquets of orchids and lisianthus.

The flower girl carried a small nosegay of lavender orchids and purple edged lisianthus accented with a plum ribbon.

Tall centerpieces in pilsner vases with a combination of orchids, hydrangea and lisianthus made a striking statement in the tent. Tables alternated between tall and low arrangements so flowers captured your eye no matter where you looked in the reception area.

An elegant cake by Ohlson’s Bakery, was accented by fresh lisianthus and hydrangea to follow through with the color scheme.

The ceremony area was accented by lisianthus and mixed greenery with white bows. Buffalo is a beautiful location for an outdoor summer wedding and the combination of summer blooms enhanced the evening reception at Avanti Mansion. Our floral design team at Lipinoga Florist created a lavender and purple ambiance perfect for summertime entertaining.
