Classic. Elegant. Timeless….These are the words that come to mind when I think of the gorgeous florals that the team from Petal and Oak put together for their editorial in the current issue of Heart of NC Weddings magazine. This past summer, Joseph Barnes and his team put together this stunning work of art at the Historic Wakefield Barn in Raleigh, NC. Inspired by the wonder and romance of a garden wedding, they used full blooms of hydrangeas and an abundance of simple greenery to create this epic staircase, which serves as an enchanting backdrop to any wedding. Below the cascading florals is a guest table set in deep shades of velvety blue, candlelight, white roses, succulents, and beautiful china in patterns of blue and white.











Like most things, the creation of a beautiful wedding is done at the hands of a team of amazing vendors. Below are all the talents wedding professionals who were a part of this editorial.
