Mono-chromatic that is!  Monochromatic is a color term used to describe the use of all one color in varying shades.

Monochromatic wedding bouquets make such an impact and splash of color against any wedding gown.  They add drama and say FUN to any bridal ensemble.  The hot trend of having bright shoes to match your flowers ties right in with this look.

Worried about what your bridesmaid’s might carry then?  Another hot trend is to have them carry white flowers while you carry bright colors.  If your wedding color palette is only of a few colors, this is the way to go.  Your bridesmaid’s will still get contrast with carrying a white bouquet against their dresses, and your bouquet won’t get lost by being the same hue as your dress.

This monochromatic  Scarlet red bouquet is made of red gladiolus, ‘Black Magic’ roses, and red celosia.  Accents of red Guinea rooster feathers tie in the black embellishments on the handle.

Just a few bold boutonnieres to start off the week… Left: A few peacock feathers finished off with decorative wiring. Middle: A couple of button mums are accented with feathers to back and gold wire accenting.  Right: Eucalyptus pod with millet and scabiosa pod.  Jute wiring finishes off the stems.

These are just a few fun examples of boutonnieres to liven up the look of your groom and groomsmen’s lapels.  More and more we are seeing a more stylized look rather than the traditional rose boutonniere.  Try using some interesting blooms when it comes to your bridal party!

You are cordially invited to attend a wedding showcase that will inspire and engage your inner bride!

We were so honored to be invited on for the Arden Hills Beyond Platinum event which was held back in October of 2009.  This exclusive event featured Sacramento’s elite wedding professionals displaying and inspiring brides and grooms with how to take their weddings to the next level, Beyond Platinum!   Our Team created the florals and accent pieces for the Indian Summer vignette.  The color palette was warm, rich tones of marigold orange, magenta and royal purple.  Working alongside Praveen of Shaadi by Shivam rentals, we teamed up to create a lounge feeling vignette that put guests in awe!

Gold embellished ornate pieces filled the sweetheart table which was placed in the center of the mandap.

Hanging gold garnished lanterns were accented with magenta phalenopsis orchids and hanging crystals.

Garlands traditionally worn in Hindu weddings were created with colorful carnations and marigolds.

With prom and wedding season in full gear, today we are going to teach you how to pin on a boutonniere so that it won’t fall off and you’ll never see a pin.  Take a look at the video and let me know what you think.  It was our first, I’d love to hear some feedback!
