Bridesmaid bouquets, Corsages and Boutonnieres

I'm in the home stretch of Mythi's order. Just finishing up the bridesmaid bouquets, groom and groomsmen boutonnieres. I wanted to share a few photos of her bridesmaid bouquets and family boutonnieres and corsages.I love the reddish pink peonies against the grape hyacinth and blue hyacinth with just pops of greenery. Mythi's bridesmaids could choose the color of their blue dress. We decided to go with navy blue ribbon wraps.
Her family's boutonnieres and corsages have a white peony, blue hyacinth and reddish green hipericum berries. The red ties in their Asian culture. I'll be so happy to get this order off in the mail. Lots of work, but again, I'm quite pleased with how it all turned out. Always love a good challenge. :)

Gardenias, Gardenias, Gardenias...

I recently got an email from a bride in Australia asking me if I could ship there and if I could accommodate her New Year's Eve wedding. We conversed back and forth and she told me what she wanted, gardenias with the vintage silver, velvet millinery leaves and ivory velvet ribbon. She wanted a bridal bouquet and 10 corsages. She added one more for the flower girl because she wants to be like everyone else.... Too cute. :) So the flower girl I suggested we do a ribbon tie corsage because most likely the pearl wristlet would be too big.I mentioned to my bride that I would complete this order ASAP because with the holidays fast approaching and with customs and international shipping, I wanted to give this order ample time to get to Australia. It's interesting today because I got some gardenias from the floral supply place I often get my supply needs from. The manager there is such a nice person and I guess they had extra today. I rarely get to see gardenias up close and personal so it was a real treat and the fragrance is so wonderful! Although now that I see a real gardenia, I want to try and rework my gardenias. Granted there are various types of gardenias and various looks to them as well. I love this photograph that I took earlier today, so breathtaking. :)
