Bridal Bouquet Created By:  Botanica Floral Designs

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.

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.

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!

Here are some more hand-crafted pieces from our Couture LeFleur collection:

Special thanks to Carmen Salazar for these photographs.

This silver bangle is accented with spray roses, green amaranthus and helleborus.

The necklace of this rhinestone pendant is created from wired pink heather.  The pendant was handcrafted and created with rhinestones.

To compliment the heart pendant, this dainty floral band is also created with pink wired heather and is accented with rhinestone embellishments.

This has got to be one of my favorite bouquets of the year that we’ve created!  When Jennifer with The Memory Jornalists asked me to make some bouquets for her vintage inspired photo shoot, I was totally excited!  Along with the floral headpiece Jennifer and her lovely girls picked out, isn’t this just fabulous?

The reasons why I love this bouquet so much:

1} The color combo:  We’ve got miniature brown cymbidium orchids, two shades of button chrysanthemums {very inexpensive}, a collar of brown feathers, fiddlehead ferns and pheasant feathers.

2} The asymmetry:  The feathers jetting off to her left shoulder adds a bit of attitude.

Against the gorgeous backdrop, it’s quite a great compliment!

Thanks to Jennifer with The Memory Journalists for putting this shoot together.

Here’s a fun idea for a centerpiece or a lovely accent to your guest book table.

This vintage feeling metal bird cage is accented with two love birds inside and is adorned with a peach gerbera daisy, leucadendron and kumquats!

I received this lovely note of appreciation about a week ago from Jessica and Max who had her Fall wedding at Serrano Country Club this past year.  What a gorgeous couple and they both have the sweetest families ever!

Hi Audrey!

I am finally getting around to saying thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much for all your help with our wedding.  When I look back at the pictures the flowers make them so gorgeous!  I wanted you to know how much we appreciated the beautiful flowers and all the help you were to us!  Weddings have so many details and can be stressful so your help was wonderful and greatly appreciated!  The flowers really were the icing on the cake and made it the wedding I had imagined!  We hope you are doing well and enjoying this new year!

Blessings,

Jessica and Max

Thanks to all of the wonderful Sacramento brides who stopped by to meet us at the Premier Wedding Show this past Sunday!  We had such a wonderful time getting to meet you all!

As a newly engaged bride, you may be overwhelmed with the magnitude of details before you.  When it comes to your flowers and decor, we are here to put you at ease.  Working alongside your other vendors, we will help you come up with and coordinate the perfect flowers and decor to go with your venue and style.

Forecasters say that 2010 will be a very busy wedding year, with couples pushing back their 2009 dates due to the economy.  What does that mean for you?  More brides, the same number of venues and vendors, so more competition to book the vendors that are the perfect match for you!  If you haven’t done so already, make sure you contact us to set-up your complimentary consultation where we can come up with a custom proposal for you and your beautiful Sacramento wedding!
