Spring Colors in Wildflower Silk Bridal Bouquet

,

I’m excited to share with you a truly custom silk bridal bouquet! Generally when bride’s reach out to me, they have a good idea of what they would like based on a few inspiration photos. From there, we talk about what aspects they love, what colors they want to include and they usually do some combining of those ideas and photos to customize the bouquets. In Sara’s case, she sent me some photos but also said that she was “open to suggestion.” I decided to take a risk and come up with a design from scratch. I knew that she wanted a wildflower look with pops of orange, blue, purple, yellow and some greenery. I gathered up some sample stems I had on hand and sent a photo to get her thoughts. And then I held my breath, and…

…

…

She loved it all!

Take a look at this one of a kind bouquet that is cheery, sophisticated, textured, and a perfect fit to Sara’s laidback and creative personality!

There’s a lot to see in just this single bouquet:

  • Yellow Garden Roses

  • Peach Ranunculus

  • Purple Scabiosa

  • Blue Thistle

  • Coral Daisies

  • Coral Ranunculus

  • Purple Lilac

  • Blue Sweet Pea

  • Purple and Blue Galaxy Orchids

  • Small Leafed Greenery

It’s just so pretty that I couldn’t pick just one or two photos!

Sara gave me the same freedom with the boutonnieres and these were super fun. I used the same mix of flowers and colors but varied the mix and greenery to give each guy a custom look.

I’d never ask anyone to take a gamble on their wedding flowers, but there’s no rule about sticking to a specific look or color scheme. If you have an unexpected color palette, or love the idea of wedding flowers that have never been done before, send me your ideas and let’s create something truly special together!

Shotgun Shell Boutonniere

To some brides, the Bridal Bouquet is the most important piece of the puzzle, and the rest falls in line behind.  But for others, it is just important for their to be personality in their boutonnieres and corsages as it is in their bouquets. These shotgun shell boutonnieres demonstrate a level of uniqueness that can be added to personal flowers that you might not have the flexibility with when working with whole bouquets. 

Bride Elizabeth was having a country-themed wedding that had some really fun details.  After talking through her ideas, I received a package in the mail with several custom painted shotgun shells.  Yes, you read that right, shotgun shells.  My job was to incorporate them into a few of the boutonnieres as a nod to her fiancee and his friends.  We used some summery white Daisies and Baby's Breath and a touch of some small coral accent flowers.  The shell still needed a little customization, so I wrapped some twine around a section in the center and it was the perfect added touch.  Take a look!

Elizabeth wanted a slightly more feminine look for the corsages so I designed the classic wrist corsage with white Daisies and Roses, Coral Roses and small accent flowers.  As with most of my mothers' corsages, I tossed in my signature rhinestone spray for some tasteful sparkle and tied it off with some delicate sheer ribbon.

Coral and White Wedding Roses

Coral and seems to be one of those colors that is everywhere. And coral and white are just made for each other, which is they are showing up in more 2016 weddings. From the soft and feminine palette, to a more saturated and vibrant tone, it's a classic combination that won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

I particularly love Ranunculus, as do many brides, so when I found these perfect peach and coral Ranunculus for a bride it was a match made in heaven.  I tucked the Ranunculus in between white Roses in a random manner and it turned out looking whimsical and dainty and shabby chic all at the same time. This is one of my favorites!

When you've got such a great bouquet, you want to finish it off just as well.  I found this peach Muslin that was the perfect complement to the bouquet and added a rustic charm.  Taking it another step further, I added twine in the center and it all came together.  We mirrored the look in the Groom's boutonniere with two tones of Ranunuclus, Muslin wrap and a bit of the twine.  A perfect pair! 

Corsages and boutonnieres in matching styles and colors enhance the overall picture that your flowers give your guests.  While it may seem overwhelming to think about the designs for all those personal arrangements, you can leave it to me to come up with coordinating corsages and boutonnieres that will photograph well, hold up to all those hugs, and work with the design of your stunning bridal bouquet.  Get in touch with me to order your coral and white silk wedding bouquet and hear more about the designs that can make it all work together.
