Martha Stewart Weddings

"I didn't want too many bright colors in the flowers," says the bride. All of which gave floral designer @mindyricedesign an idea. "I have always loved the tones of dried PeeGee hydrangeas—a beautiful tan color," she says. "Nothing fresh gives that same feeling." So, she dried 2,000 stems of the late-summer flowers for months in preparation for the late-November wedding.
