Seasonal Wedding Flowers for Union Grove Farm in Chapel Hill
Weddings at Union Grove Farm have an easy, grounded beauty to them. With a range of ceremony sites at the grove overlooking the pond, on the deck, in the barn, or simply in the quiet woodland area, the settings invite celebration without excess.
It’s a venue where the scenic backdrop does the work — and where flowers are most powerful when they feel natural and seasonal.
For couples getting married at Union Grove Farm, I design garden-style wedding flowers that feel connected to the land and the time of year, using locally grown blooms.

Garden-Style Wedding Flowers That Belong in the Landscape

Union Grove Farm floral designs emphasize movement, texture, and seasonal color rather than rigid formality. Outdoor ceremonies and relaxed receptions benefit from flowers that feel organic and unfussy — designs that enhance the setting rather than compete with it.
This is a venue where:
Loose, garden-inspired bouquets photograph beautifully
Seasonal color palettes feel at home against natural backdrops
A few well-chosen floral moments go further than over-decorating
Flowers are part of the experience, not the main event
My approach focuses on creating floral designs that feel intentional, balanced, and true to the setting.
Because Union Grove Farm is so connected to its rural Chapel Hill surroundings, seasonality plays an important role in how flowers look and feel here.
Spring weddings often feature airy blooms like ranunculus, anemones, tulips, and flowering branches. Fall brings dahlias, chrysanthemums, robust filler flowers, herbs, and textured greens that echo the fields and tree line around the venue.
Designing with what’s naturally in season allows flowers to feel more relaxed, cohesive, and visually grounded — especially in an rustic setting like this.
If a rustic barn wedding is your vision, also consider Oakland Farm in Bear Creek and The Barn at Valhalla in Chapel Hill.

A La Carte or Pickup Wedding Flowers
A great option when floral needs are clearly defined and setup will be handled by a coordinator, venue staff, or family members. This often includes:

Full Service Wedding Flowers
Best when customization and setup are important for a turnkey day. This may include:
Personal flowers plus focal designs
Seasonal ceremony or reception arrangements
Custom installations or onsite designs
On-site delivery and setup, scaled appropriately for the venue
I’m always happy to help couples decide which approach makes the most sense based on their priorities.

A Farmer-Florist Approach, Just Outside Chapel Hill
I’m a farmer-florist based near Chapel Hill, growing flowers for spring and fall weddings right here in North Carolina.
My work blends horticultural knowledge with a design-forward approach, resulting in flowers that feel fresh, personal, and rooted in place.
Whether flowers are picked up at our farm or installed on site, every design is created with care, intention, and an understanding of how it will live within the space.
