Embellishments Around Your Bouquet

These bouquets have unique embellishments around the outside of the flowers. It's a great way to do something a little different to make a statement.





This lush, mixed, all white bouquet has variegated hosta leaves around the edge for little extra color and contrast.

These two bouquets have feathers around the edge- one all white with white feathers and one all green with red feathers. The bouquet with white feathers also has small crystals within the flowers.

There are so many ways to embellish a bouquet!!

Lush Greenery

Recent trends in flowers for weddings and parties have been leaning more towards clean lines and very little, if any, greenery. While that look can be very beautiful and classic, here is an example of how greenery can be used in fun, unique, and interesting ways.

Laura and Robert were married in September at UMSL Provincial Chapel. Laura LOVED texture and greenery. She wanted all of her bouquets to be lush with greenery and minimalistic on the flower blooms.

The bridal bouquet included white dendrobium orchids, white lilies, white freesia, and waxflower filler. The different types of greenery really made the whole bouquet comes together. We used variegated pitt, fern, and variegated hosta leaves. The brown, curly accents, or monkey tail, really added even more interest to the already texture rich bouquet.

The bridesmaids' bouquets were very similar to the bridal bouquet. They used lots of mixed greenery and monkey tail as well as minimal white flowers.

At the church, different types of greenery, including variegated hosta leaves and Italian ruscus, were clustered to decorate the pews.

The reception was held at Greenbriar Hills Country Club. All the table decorations were rustic-looking urns filled to the brim with lush greens of all shapes and textures, with a little white filler accent.

The urns included several different types of greenery--variegated pitt and hosta leaves, Italian ruscus, magnolia leaves, fern, lily grass, and hanging amaranthus. More monkey tail and lotus pods were used to bring in brown accents.

We had a lot of fun designing the pieces for this wedding! It was so great to incorporate greenery in unusual ways to give the whole wedding a very earthy and gardeny look!

Best wishes to Laura and Robert!!

Linear Bride and Bridesmaid Bouquets

When considering what shape of bouquets you may want for your wedding, don't forget about linear bouquets. Here are some examples of some linear bridal and bridesmaids bouquets. Lots of different tall, thin flowers are usually used in linear bouquets. In these snapshots, our bouquets from this past spring include mini callas and cymbidium orchids.

These shots show the bridesmaids' bouquets of mixed pink mini callas and lily grass with green orchids and greenery at the base.

The bride's bouquet was a mix of white orchids and wine mini calla lilies with lily grass and folded variegated hosta leaves at the base.

These linear bouquets have a much more clean, contemporary look versus gardeny and lush. One is not necessarily better than the other. It all just comes down to personal taste and the style of the wedding.
