Sunflowers in Silk Bridal Bouquet Wedding Flowers

I know I recently declared this the year of Cascading bridal bouquets, but I have to walk that back a little and also declare it the year of the Sunflower! And since this bouquet is both a cascade style and has sunflowers, it’s extra special! Elisha is from Michigan and saw these maize and blue themed wedding flowers and wanted something similar for her wedding. Her bridal bouquet was a mix of ivory Roses, Sunflowers, blue Apple Blossoms, white Daisies, blue Thistle and Smilax for a touch of green.

Elisha wanted a touch of rustic and had the idea to have the bouquet wrapped with twine, rather than a traditional satin ribbon. It’s a perfect look!

The groom’s boutonniere was an ivory Rose bud, blue Thistle and mini Sunflower. The groomsmen boutonnieres were a mini Sunflower, blue Apple Blossom and Baby’s Breath. The fathers had a smaller version of the groomsmen. The mother’s wrist corsage was a few mini Sunflowers, baby’s breath, greens and navy ribbon. Elisha wanted to continue the rustic theme so the bouts got wrapped in twine too. The mother’s corsage had a touch of blue ribbon for a little more color.

Regency and Lilac Purple Silk Wedding Flowers- Part 1

Pam called me with some ideas about she wanted for her wedding flowers. Her wedding dress was regency purple and she wanted to accent with that color in her bouquets, but was worried about it not being a close enough match. I sent her over to my blog to look at some bouquets I had previously made and she fell in love with this cascading bouquet that actually had a lighter shade of purple. This lighter shade was a great match to what her bridesmaids would be wearing, so I decided to design the bouquets from an “opposites” approach. Basically, the bride is wearing regency purple, but carrying white and lilac while the bridesmaids are wearing lilac and carrying white and darker purple flowers. That way we didn’t have to have exact matches, the purples would stand out against the dresses and both colors would be included. Take a look at what we came up with!

Here’s a look at the bouquets all together to see the contrast between the purples. They look lovely together!

Here’s a shot of a couple of their boutonnieres and corsages. She chose to have the regency purple in the groom’s boutonniere and switched it to the baby’s breath for the other boutonnieres. The only corsage was an attendant’s wristlet that featured each of the types of flowers.
