Simple Flowers = A Simply Beautiful Bridal Bouquet

My client Stephanie is getting married on April 11th and I just finished her bridal bouquet. I know I have been kind of slow to post this week, but it's catch up mode for me. I hope to have photos of 70 corsages for you to see tomorrow. LOL.

Originally when Stephanie emailed me, she saw my work via Etsy and asked if I could create bridal bouquets for her entire bridal party. But she decided after much thought and discussion with her fiance, that maybe they wouldn't mean as much to her bridal attendants so we just decided to go with her bouquet and boutonniere for her groom. Her flowers were whitish ivory roses, simple white daisies with the yellow centers, stephanotis flowers with pearl centers. The bouquet was finished off with white satin ribbon with a blue organza ribbon to accent. It's absolutely BREATHTAKING!!! I feel like I just picked them out of a field of flowers. Something so simple as daisies and roses can look so beautiful! I just love how this one turned out.

I will have photos of her groom's boutonniere tomorrow. More blog posts to come soon, promise!!! You would think after buying all my lighting & studio equipment that I would actually use it, but I was anxious to get these photos to my client. ;)

DK Designs Bridal Bouquets for the Ralston Hall Bridal Faire - Part IV

Here's one more bouquet that I finished today. It's green cymbidium orchids, ivory roses, tuberose buds and tuberose flowers finished off with a shimmery ivory ribbon and a rhinestone buckle. I always like to call this color combination, Tropical Elegance. It's got subtle greens and ivories with just a hint of color in the mouth of the orchid in the rich yellows and magenta pinks. Stylish and sophisticated. These types of bouquets are so popular for destination weddings. Cymbidiums are my all time favorite flower, especially the green ones. :)

DK Designs Bridal Bouquets for the Ralston Hall Bridal Faire - Part II

Here are 2 more bouquets that I finished this morning for the Ralston Hall Bridal Faire that takes place this Sunday. Bridal bouquets consisting of anemones and sweet peas are all the rage right now with brides wanting a modern yet romantic and vintage style look. I say modern because of the rich contrast between the pale blush pinks and champagne ivories against the dark black centers of the anemones and the black satin ribbon wrap that nicely finishes off the bouquet.
The next bouquet is a simple plumeria bouquet with grass fillers and a celadon green satin ribbon wrap. Fresh plumeria bouquets are so hard to have on your wedding day because once they are picked from the tree, they start browning and wilting. The clay plumeria flower alternative is the perfect solution. They can even be scented with plumeria perfume to make them appear more lifelike! Well, back to work on the flowers for 3-4 more bouquets I hope to be able to get done before the bridal faire!
