Here’s a handbag you won’t find in your closet or the department stores.  I love accessories and when Our Wedding Magazine came to me with a request for a vintage inspired photo shoot, I thought why not create something unique and different to show brides that you don’t always have to be conventional when it comes to your flowers.

We create a lot of floral purses for flower girls; it is a fun accessory, an updated and sophisticated look from the pomander or kissing balls we see commonly.  Also, the flower girl can keep the purse as a keepsake that they can have.  With a church ceremony where petals aren’t allowed, this is just the perfect substitution.

This purse was created with a base of reindeer moss which will keep it’s color.  The yellow globular flowers are craspedia which are native to Australia and New Zealand.  These blooms have become quite popular and are so much fun:  their shape, color and keeping quality are fantastic!

We’ve embellished the purse with a jute handle and rhinestone accents to add that extra special touch for any little girl.

We hope you enjoy this special accessory we think any little girl or bridesmaid would certainly love to carry.

A close up of the table arrangements.  Burlap runners tied in with the rustic venue, wine box crates and wine bottle candelabras.

Below is a close up of where the bride and groom sat for the dinner reception.  Cones on either side of the chairs doubled as decor for the aisle.

At the end of the evening, the open air tent was lit with market lights and a starry sky!

Day two of our featured winery wedding!

It’s the special extra touches that make a wedding day truly unique.  Here, the couple displayed a chalkboard of the cocktail hour drinks.  We simply just added a few fresh florals to the board to soften the look, and tie in the colors of the day.

As guests entered the large lawn where the reception was to take place, Italian city postcards were used as escort cards to direct them to their tables.  Another personal touch I just loved!

Guests enjoyed dining at long banquet style tables.  Mismatched wine crates lined the center of the tables and displayed flowers in the cornflower blue to peach and subtle orange shades.

Mindy and Matt were married last year at the end of Summer on a gorgeous day at Young’s Vineyards in Plymouth, CA.  What a sweet couple, and so in love!  Their wedding was so gorgeous!

Mindy’s bridal bouquet was created with peach and white fragrant garden roses, fragrant tuberose, jasmine, helleborus, freesia, and pieris buds.  We also finished off the handle of the bouquet with a heirloom brooch of Mindy’s family.

Today I thought I would share this photo of a very simple arrangement I put together in a small vase with some Mokara orchids.  I love the simplicity of the look!

Simple designs just as this are timeless.  Grouped together with other vases in this hue and more mokara orchids, you can make quite a stunning statement.  Using only one flower type and vases in the same look makes a simple arrangement turn into a focal piece your guests are sure to notice!

Kristy Huston with Kristy Huston Photography captured the image.  Kristy’s eye for detail is amazing!  She picked out this lichen covered rock and I think the vase and florals were featured just perfectly here.  Thanks Kristy!
