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 III

Here is another bouquet that I finished this morning for the Bridal Faire at the Ralston Hall for Sunday. I have one more that I hope to post about tonight or tomorrow morning. This one makes me think of tropical punch and rainbow sherbet. The colors are so vibrant and beautiful. I think the green, pink and orange color palette are one of my favorites of all times. It's such a happy color combination. This bouquet has green dendrohbium orchids, orange ranunculus and fuchsia pink roses with some greens to finish off the bouquet. The ribbon is a luxe fuchsia pink iridescent ribbon with a fuchsia and green iridescent criss-cross overlay.
This bouquet makes me happy. :) Today I start working on my bridal bouquet and centerpiece orders for 2 of my brides, one is getting married in Jamaica and one in Florida. Let's just say, the next two weeks I'll be making flowers every day and night until it's all done. Call me the flower making machine! LOL.

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!

Valentine's Day = Work Day for DK Designs

Today for me is like any other day... a work day! LOL. I'm busy trying to prepare for the Ralston Hall Bridal Faire. Yesterday I set out to make flowers for 10 small vase arrangements for this cute cake pedestal design I wanted to try. Lots of hydrangeas with whitish-ivory flowers to compliment. They turned out bigger than I had planned, but I think they came out super cute. So even though I'm working on Valentine's Day, I thought I would share my flowers. I'm still going to accent paint them, but they made such a beautiful picture.
Happy Valentine's Day to all of you! Hope you show your loved ones how much you care and love them, not just today, but every day!
