Rachel contacted me about flowers for her upcoming private wedding ceremony. She was not completely settled on a style, so I sent her to my blog to poke around and look at different bouquet designs. She loved the look of this lavender, plum and ivory bouquet and the color palette of this champagne and ivory bouquet. Because everything I create is custom, this was no problem at all. Rachel got a mashup of these two bouquets for a stylish and beautiful cascading bridal bouquet in silk flowers.
I custom dyed the Dahlia to have a champagne center to match the champagne Peonies and Heather. I added in some ivory Roses, white Baby’s breath and finished it off with some Lamb’s ear for a softer touch of greenery. And literally this Lamb’s ear is so soft! It adds such a romantic texture to any bouquet!
I made a matching groom’s boutonniere with an ivory Rose bud, a small sprig of Heather and lamb’s ear tied with matching ribbon. Her father’s boutonniere was a simple Rose bud and Lamb’s ear. So classic!
Rachel sent me a few photos of the altar set up at her church. Even though this would be a small private ceremony, she still wanted to add a custom altar arrangement that would match her bouquet. This two piece arrangement consists of a swag and a garland. By making it as separate pieces, she can configure this however she likes when she gets there. Made to either hang or lay down, the swag looks seamless with the garland. And it will be sure to bring some color and warmth to her ceremony.
