Rustic Wedding Flowers for Oakland Farm
There’s something quietly special about weddings at Oakland Farm. Set in the country with a horse pasture and tree-lined entrance, the property feels expansive and intimate — a picturesque farm with space to breathe, gather, and celebrate without pretense.
Wedding flowers at Oakland Farm are at their best when they lean into that sense of place: rustic, seasonal, and designed to complement the landscape rather than compete with it.
My work here focuses on garden-style florals that feel natural, relaxed, and rooted in the farm setting.

Rustic Farm-Grown Florals that Fit the Setting
Oakland Farm offers a beautiful mix of outdoor and indoor spaces, each with its own character — from the horse pasture and ceremony pavilion to the log-walled barn filled with natural light (and that amazing antler chandelier).
This is a venue where:
Loose, textural bouquets feel right at home
Seasonal flowers echo the surrounding fields
Florals soften wood, stone, and open-air structures
A few intentional designs create more impact than over-styling
My approach is always to let the farm lead. Flowers are designed to enhance the setting, not overshadow it.
Because Oakland Farm is just down the road from our Chatham County flower farm, we’re kindred spirits. And our seasonal flowers feel especially at home here.
Spring weddings often feature ranunculus, anemones, tulips, flowering branches, and soft garden roses — airy blooms that pair beautifully with open skies and fresh green pasture.
Fall designs often incorporate texture and rich hues, with dahlias, chrysanthemums, herbs, grasses, and natural greenery adding depth without heaviness.
Designing with what’s naturally in season allows the flowers to feel relaxed, cohesive, and in harmony with the landscape.

Full Service Wedding Flowers
Ideal when onsite design is important, or when multiple spaces will be styled.
Personal flowers plus ceremony and reception designs
Cross/arbor installations or barn fireplace mantel styling
Seasonal arrangements for the pavilion, barn, walkways, and/or getting-ready spaces
On-site delivery and setup coordinated with the venue
I’m always happy to help couples decide which approach makes the most sense based on their priorities.
Thoughtful Design for Oakland Farm’s Spaces
Oakland Farm offers several wedding spaces that naturally guide floral design decisions.
The ceremony pavilion and horse pasture create beautiful backdrops that pair well with meadow-style arrangements and organic forms. The bridal getting-ready space benefits from soft, refined floral touches that photograph well without feeling fussy. The cottage is a great space for bouquet shots!
One of Oakland Farm’s most charming details is the golf cart path and tucked-away trail often used for first-touch or first-look photos — a spot where hand-tied bouquets and natural textures feel especially deeply personal.
Inside the soaring barn, abundant natural light warms floral color and movement, making even simple designs feel elevated.
If you love the feel of a rustic barn wedding, also consider Union Grove Farm and The Barn at Valhalla, both in nearby Chapel Hill.
Wedding Flower Budgets at Oakland Farm
Floral budgets at Oakland Farm often prioritize quality, seasonality, and a few meaningful focal points. The barn is a big space. Rather than filling every nook, most couples choose to invest in personal flowers and select ceremony or reception designs that complement the farm’s existing beauty. Altar arrangements or meadows are easily repurposed for reception layouts.
This approach keeps florals impactful, on-budget, and true to the setting.

A Local Farmer-Florist, Just Down the Road
Oakland Farm in Bear Creek, NC is just a stone’s throw from my own farm, which means the flowers used for weddings here are grown nearby and designed with a deep understanding of the local landscape and seasons.
As a farmer-florist, I bring together growing and design — creating wedding flowers that feel personal, grounded, and connected to place, whether they’re picked up or installed on site.
If you’re getting married at Oakland Farm this year, congratulations!
And if wedding flowers that feel rustic, seasonal, and personal are important for your day, I’d love to explore what will work best for your vision.
