A couple of months ago we participated in the Glitz and Glamour Wedding Showcase out at Scribner Bend Vineyards.  I love wedding shows because it gives me an opportunity to create something not every bride comes to me with a picture of.  An all rose bouquet has been done thousands of times… I thought we’d liven it up a bit with this lovely design.

This bouquet is a bit rustic, but still very elegant! The look was designed for an outdoor- casual wedding.  It was a show favorite of the brides with the preserved cotton bolls, soft lamb’s ear, ‘Sahara’ roses and green hanging amaranthus.  I also finished it off by adding a few rustic branches throughout the flowers to add some movement.  The stems were treated with a layering affect of brown freshwater pearls of various sizes and styles.

Not necessarily a bouquet a bride would come to me and ask for, but now maybe a little interest has been peaked?  Of course we do the traditional designs, but this had to spark more thought and creativity and when you take a look at this in person, you say, “yeah, I like… no, I love it.”

What things are you interested in seeing in a bouquet?  I’ll take on the challenge and surprise you to create something any bride would be proud to carry, all while staying elegant and stylish for your wedding day.  Let’s hear from you??
