A Spear of Asparagus on the Lapel: Tess and Connor's Pacific Northwest Wedding

Tess and Connor's wedding had a single green spear of asparagus in the groom's boutonniere. Florist Kylie Hale set it among white flowers, where a guest might have taken it for just another stem until it was close enough to recognize. That small vegetable said a lot about the couple. They held a small wedding outdoors in the Pacific Northwest, among the plants and greenery of a garden. The day included a paebaek ceremony, the Korean wedding tradition, as part of the celebration. Dinner was planned for guests who care about food, so the asparagus on Connor's jacket was a hint of what was coming to the table. Hale's choice was quiet and a little playful, and it showed how this day was put together: a small gathering where even the flowers pointed toward the meal.
