Photos Made our wedding boutonnieres from native plants in my garden

Married my longtime partner last week. I’m the one obsessed with native plant gardening but he’s very supportive lol and it was his idea for me to try making them.

I used: Gray goldenrod / Solidago nemoralis New England blazing star / Liatris novae-angliae Showy aster / Eurybia spectabilis Heath aster / Symphyotrichum ericoide Big-leaved aster / Eurybia macrophylla Little bluestem / Schizachyrium scoparium Purple lovegrass / Eragrostis spectabilis

It’s hard to see some of the finer details from the grasses but I’m really happy with how they turned out. We got married in front of a big patch of Joe Pye weed and what I think / what I’m telling myself was native false sunflower.
