Monthly Bouquet Feature!

I thought it would be really cool to feature a different bouquet every month. Several different reasons went into my decision to do this but I think the most important one is that it would be so much FUN! I love, love bouquets and besides the wedding dress, I think a beautiful bouquet is the most important element to a bride’s overall wedding day look. What else are you going to see in most pictures with the bride other than the groom? HER BOUQUET!!! Biased, I know but there is some truth to what I say, go look at a few wedding pictures and see for yourself :) Okay, enough rambling here she is, our January Winter Wonderland Bouquet:

Gorgeous, don't ya think?? White akito roses and lush white hydrangea were used to create this very simple but stunning bouquet. My inspiration for this bouquet was an all white winter wonderland wedding. The feathers and metallic accents enhance the bouquet and give you a wintery feel. However, this bouquet can be carried anytime during the year because of its simplicity and classic elegance.

Here are a few more shots! Enjoy and check back soon for our next monthly bouquet feature, maybe you will find one you want to carry on your very special day!!

I'm falling in love with Baby’s Breath. Don’t Judge Me...

I'm serious, Baby's Breath or Gypsophila (for floral junkies like me) are gorgeous, I just had to be reminded. As a wedding florist, I try to avoid them in every arrangement I do unless they are requested but I fell in love with them around Christmas time. After so many years of sticking my nose up at them, I saw a jaw dropping arrangement at the Ritz in downtown Atlanta. I immediately dropped all of my luggage and pulled out my camera phone:

GORGEOUS & SO VERY POSH!!!! Simply stunning, I just love it. I always suggest my brides use clusters of carnations for budget arrangements because they are fabulous when they are tightly packed into great vases and/or containers and clearly these "filler" flowers can have the same effect. Here are a few other arrangements I found that can be used for inspiration in designing your own wedding:

This look would be great to use on columns for an outside summer wedding, especially if all of the flowers are white/ivory!

Just remember to use these beautiues in vast quanatities and on their own. If you try to mix the baby's breath with other flowers you won't get the same dramatic look as pictured above. Just my humble opinion on the matter :) So, would you consider the above look for your event?!
