Something Blue....Bouquet, Boutonniere & A Special Gift

A month ago, my client contacted me via my Etsy site and told me about her sister getting married next month and asked if I could create a wedding bouquet, centerpiece and boutonniere modeled after a photo her sister fell in love with. She had a budget she wanted to work within because this was a gift to her sister.The bouquet consists of champagne ivory roses, ivory callas, ivory tulips, tuberose, with light blue hydrangeas, as well as light and dark blue hyacinth. There is absolutely no greenery filler in this bouquet!The bride wanted to gift a dear family friend who manages the reception venue where they will have their wedding dinner once they return from their destination wedding. Since this was designed to be a gift that the recipient could keep well after the wedding, I chose a dark brown bamboo vase which I thought added a rich element to the ivories and various shades of blue.
The groom's boutonniere compliments the bride's flowers nicely. Very simple.
I'll be switching gears for the next day or so to concentrate on favors for my son's birthday coming up. After that I am working on bouquets inspired by my bride's kimono wedding dress! I'm excited about this next order. Pictures to follow next week!

Clutch Bouquets for My Destination France Bride

My client Amanda is getting married in France in August to her French fiance! She found me via the feature in the In Style Weddings magazine article on my eco-chic floral arrangement. I've been working on her bouquets and will start working on her centerpieces later this week. She asked me to create clutch bouquets for her mother and her brother's fiance instead of going with a traditional corsage. She wanted to go with ivory flowers that matched her bouquet so for her mother, we did closed peony buds and for her sister-in-law to be, we went with the cream colored roses. They are so pretty. They are wrapped with a woad blue Midori satin ribbon and honeydew organza ribbon. I should have her bridal bouquet and bridesmaid bouquets done tomorrow so more photos to follow!
