“This bouquet’s Bride is fashion forward, eco-conscious, a little wild, and a girl who wears her heart on her sleeve. She’s not afraid to carry a deep and bold bouquet on her wedding day because she wants all to notice it and to ask her about it. She wants to tell her friends and family that her bouquet is made of 100% locally grown flowers. She wants them to care like she cares. This bouquet’s Bride will dance and cry down the aisle because she’s overjoyed for her future, and because she feels the beauty of this life.”

The bride that [we] envision carrying this is someone who relishes texture (as do we!); this bouquet would be well-suited for the same sort of “stylish with an edge” lady. This bride would love the accents of deep blackberry and eggplant that create strong, obvious contrast among the softer tones of peach. She is the sort of bride that sees a reflection of herself in nature and would require an organic, more asymmetrically styled shape. And although a tropical environment (or similar beach-y setting) would not be her venue of choice, she is open to incorporating tropical stems (i.e. mokara orchids and protea) because the combination of varieties included still creates a fresh, natural look that appeals to her love of the outdoors and doesn’t make one think of grass skirts and hula dancing. Pussy willow stems that have yet to bloom, as well as subtle blossoming quince branch, enhance the outdoor, rawer appeal that very accurately reflects her style.
In the bouquet:
- lavender lilac
- burgundy/eggplant scabiosa
- apricot van dyke tulips
- lavender freesia
- fat leaf dusty miller
- peach ranunculus & ranunculus buds
- queen anne’s lace
- dried millet
- seeded eucalyptus berries
- red mokara orchids
- large pink mink protea
- cream milky way roses (center petals removed from some for wild rose look)
- fresh pussy willow (clustered and looped)
- blush blooming quince branch
- stemmed black berries
- sangria double-faced satin ribbon wrap with looped bow & tails
