I’m back with another version of Tiara’s famous bouquet! If you have no idea what I’m talking about, go check out this blog post from 4 years ago that featured a burgundy and taupe bridal bouquet in silk flowers that I have recreated for numerous more brides. It’s one of the biggest and baddest bouquets I’ve ever created and clearly has inspired more brides in their search for a showstopping bridal bouquet. But let’s take a look at Lauren’s version of the bouquet on her beautiful wedding day with these amazing photos from ENM Photos. You can also check out her work on Instagram: @enm.photos and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/enm.photoss. Thanks Emma and Lauren for letting me share these awesome photos!!
Here’s our beautiful bride, Lauren!! I absolutely love the shoulder to toe lace look, it goes especially well with such an intricate bouquet! Lauren’s modified cascade style bridal bouquet was a mixture of burgundy Peonies and Calla Lilies, burgundy and champagne Spray Roses, taupe Roses, mauve Baby’s Breath, Thistle, Cynara, Pampas Grass, sage and brown Fern, Seeded Eucalyptus and burgundy Amaranthus. I love that is has a boho vibe, but looks so good in the great outdoors!
The groom’s bout was a burgundy Calla Lily, taupe Rose bud, Papas, Fern and Eucalyptus. I love it up against his green suit and check out his floral tie in matching colors!
The bridesmaids carried handtied bouquets with a smaller mix of the bridal flowers. They still had that loose look to them and matching ribbon.
Lauren had me create flower girl crown that incorporated the colors and flowers from the bridal bouquet. Isn’t her fancy little dress the best?
Here is the whole crew! I love that their attire reflects the color scheme, including the suspenders on the groomsmen!
And this photo above gives you sneak peak at the ceremony decor. Lauren ordered custom altar arrangements for her gazebo along with aisle arrangements that sat flat on the ground. The aisle arrangements incorporated many of the same flowers from the bouquets, but I included large taupe Peonies to fill out the arrangements even more. Because there were peonies and taupe roses in the bouquets, it doesn’t matter that the bouquets didn’t include the taupe Peonies. It all works together beautifully!
Here’s the full picture of how all these arrangements work together to add a touch of color and detail that coordinates with the flowers in the wedding party. This is a good example of considering the scale of your space. That gazebo is huge! They did a great job planning for that in ordering the large altar arrangements and also adding in the fabric to soften the space and bring your eye across.
Then you add in all your beloved family and friends, seal it with a kiss and you have a wonderful memory to look back on together.
Once you have your bases covered for your ceremony site, it’s time to consider the look you want for your reception area. Lauren was able to use bridesmaid bouquets and her bouquet to decorate their head table. It’s the most cost effective decor decision you can make!
And remember those aisle arrangements we saw earlier? If you love that look, then you’ll love how easily they transform into centerpieces! All you need is a few helping hands to transport them to your space and you have lovely decor for your guest tables!
