Step 3:FOCUS ON ONE ELEMENT
Colors sets the tone, but a motif ties toguether the overall look.It can be a pattern ( like pinstrips) a shape, or a natural element ( like a bumblebee). For instance, we were inspire by wheatgrass, and gave it depth with some lush greenery. The cake and the scort card get a whinsical boost from a foundation of wheatgrass, while lemongrass strung with fresh limes decorates cocktail concoctions.For reception seating, smaller round tables mixed with large square tables add an element of interst to the room, while the centerpieces boost creativity with a collection of apothecary jars packet with white cinch, curly allium.poppy pods,green hydrengeas, and pretty white peonies.

No your florist wont go picking petals in the forest for your wedding day flower,But is easy to fake a gathered-by-hand look.Simply take note of your surroundings, and choose blooms that suit the mood (like the delphiniums, roses, and tweedier .Above all, dont be to rigid with your design.Let the flower flow freely, as they would in the natural environment.Finish it off with unique containers like antique porcelain tureens or well-design wooden crates.



Mix herbs like rosemary or mint in your arrangements to give them a subtle, fresh scent. use daises, miniature sunflowers, poppies, or zinnias for the grooms boutonniere. Line the hallways leading to your reception space, cocktail area, and bathrooms with pots of wildflowers.



Branches s their enchanted forest fell?Or, perhaps its turning whats natural into sculptural beauty.Regardless, when done right, the look is completely modern mother nature.Frank either side of the altar with tall vases of twigs spray-painted in white or silver.Create a ceremony canopy or huppah out of cherry blossoms branches.Place a branch, cage-like structure over the cake for a woodsy presentation. You can even fake it in chocolate.

Moss. moss lush texture and cool shades of green makes it a striking graphic element. But if not use properly, your wedding could end up looking like a swamp.So skip the dramatics,and use the elements minimally.

Wood. Ticker and heartier than its branch counterpart, wooden element make a well, woody impact.The best place to inject tree life is on the reception table. Pack square wooden containers with gorgeous blooms, and pow-an instant organic look that isnt to overdone.Use rectangle bark boxes for a lush greens floral arrangement or an escort card display.Chose chiavari chairs in natural wood colors and decorate with green hypericum berries.Re-create the look of wood with dark brown bowls or vases for a modern style.

Vines. The beauty of using vines is that they can wrap around anything to add a touch of Green.while they can be somewhat wild,the look of thin, almost cord-like ribbon teamed with richly colored details is anything but boring.Use vines to tie together flatware, and add a spring of greenery to the napkin. wrap vines around your bouquet stems,your programs, or a collection of small centerpiece vases to create a cohesive look. glue or pin vines to a cloth to create an organic overlay for your reception tables.

Water and Light. Perhaps the most natural element you can play with is water.

Tell us what you're thinking...Posted byEsther Bragaat7:17 PM1 comment: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to PinterestThe History of the Bouquet. Flowers have long symbolized love and joy.the bride's bouquet-fragant bouquet,enchanting-her alds joy and a future ripe with abundant possibilities.Centuries ago,insted of Flowers, English brides caried aromatic herbs,such as sage,thyme,and garlic,to toward off evil spirits who might interfere with the nuptial happiness.In Tudor England,sprigs from bouquets of herbs and flowers with assumed aphrodisiac powers (for exemple,dill.marigolds dipped in rosewater) were even eaten by brides!

At The beginning of the twentieth century,extravagant bouquets sometimes measured two feet across and trailed ribbons knotted with tiny flower heads.Sophisticated brides in the twenties carried sleek sheaves of calla lilies or a simple "posy" of bright nas-turtiums or orchids.During the early thirties,brides carried abundant armfuls of blossoms-gladioli,stock,and lilies.Toward the decade's end,simplicity reigned-in pretty victorian posies of azaleas,violets,and pansies.During world war two,when flowers werescarce,brides carried simple,fragant nosegays of lilies of the valley,roses,qnd gardenias.The flower-child bride of the early seventies gathered fresh wildflowers for a natural bouquet.And in the opulent eighties,floral designers treated the bouquet as an art form,weaving unusual imported blooms,gilded fruits,lace,and gorgeous ribbons into lavish arrangments.Today,bridal flowers may be fashion statements-boas,necklaces,bracelats,pocket adornments,hair accessories-coordinating with the color and texture of the gown fabric.
The ceremonial tossing of the bridal bouquet is a symbolic moment.The bride gathers the single women in attendance and throws her bouquet (or a smalier,less expensive replica) as a token of good lucky.The lucky maiden who catches it will suposedly be the next to marry.Bridesmaids in England today still pluck a sprig (usually of myrtle,a luckly flower that portends harmony) from the brides's bouquet and plant it beside the entry of the newlyweds home.

Roses Arranged as Precisely as Petals in a Single Bloom.

Ever since Quen Victoria wed in 1840,white has remained tradicional for wedding gowns and bouquets have becomesymbolic of the qualitiesof purity and serenety.Classic and elegant,the white bouquet looks even better by candlelight-at "after-five'cerimonies.The all-white bouquet might be a cascade of orange blossons,roses,violets,camellias,lilac:a posy of white stock,lilies of the valley,peonies,astrantia,and freesia wired loosely;or abundantly lush nosegay of stephanotis and hyacinth.use just one or two varieties for more formal bouquet.To weave rich texture,subtle patters,mingle intensities of white;pair just-picked rosebuds with full bloomers and past-peak roses,tiny snowdropswith pouffy peonies.Intoduce whispers of colors...a sprinkling of stargazing lilies with deep-red center stand out among tradicional bridal whites.

Mix white and near-whiteflowers,now available year-round;techniques for conditioning and manipulating exotic blooms are also being perfected.Dendrobium orchids,wild sweet peas,jasmine,"Serena"roses and other favorite whites (in ivory,champagne,ecru,creamy white,and pure white) create unusual bouquets.Fragile springs of apple blossom pair with palest blush tulips,fair peonies,white lilacs.Petals and small blossoms,leyered inside each other,create one large composite faux bloom.Clusters of small flowers,crafted toguether,form a single generous blossom,mounted on a gilded or ribbom-braided solitary stem.Bold strokes of foliage (e.g., the gild leaves,add sculptural detail.

Cost -Saving Tips

Within any budget,grand or sparse,an imaginative florist can create exquisite bridal bouquets and floral accessories.Set your spending limit first,then,if neccessary,talk to the florist about getting the look you want with cost saving substitutes. Select in -season, locally grown flowers-more plentiful and less expensive.Don't schedule a wedding on the week-end of a flower giving holiday (e.g.,near Mothers Day,Valentine's Day);blooms are pricier. Avoid labor-intensive,large,handwired bouquets- the most costly alternative.Opt for handtied bouquets with fewer blossoms.Scout antique stores for lace,tulle,ribbon,pearls;give them to your florist to weave into bouquets.Have bridesmaids carryone dramatic stem.Arrange a single mass of baby's breath-it's lush,more affordable.Select an ornate Wedding location needing less decoration.


Bridesmaides Bouquets

The shape and style of bridesmaids' flowers should complement the bridal bouquet and flatter each attendant's stature.Maids'bouquets can be baskets filled with sunburst hues that echo the floral motif of garden-print dress-apricot roses,deep-coral ranunculus,and golden tulips,in contrasting colors,tied with moire' ribbons.Like the bride,attendent may wear flowers as hair accessories,hat trim,necklaces,bracelets,or pendants pinned to gowns.For a Victorian Wedding,have maids carry tussie-mussies-tightly packed nosegays of flowers,herbs,and foliage in silver posy holders.

Flowers for Children

A necklace of dainty blossoms leaves small hands free to scatter rose petals.Blooms may be worn as hair wreaths,headbands,or bracelets,or nestled into sashes for littlest misses.Ring beares may tuck pocket into jacket pockets.Most-charming wedding nosegays have soft colors,diminutive blossoms,and gorgeous ribbon streamers.Other pretty and manageable choices:a floral ball or pomander to loop around a tiny arm;whimsicalgreenery and flowers-apopular choice for children in recent English royal weddings.Garlands are finished with pretty bows that form carrying handles,and may be used to hang garlands at the altar as decorations during the wedding cerimony.


Boutonnieres; A Groom's Bloom
The tradicinal white carnation or rosebud are just two boutonniere options.Any flower small in scale-bud tiny floret backet with baby's breathor foliage-is a possibility.The gromm often chooses flower in the bride's bouquet; his boutonniere may be a "pull-way" concealed in her arrangement : (she then pins it to his lapel at the altar).Classic blooms for groomsmen:stephanotis or a spring of freesia with greenery.More unusual options: a gloriosa lily,ranunculus,a calla lily,and phlox.Or, consider a scaled-down sunflower,a bachelor's button,grape hyacinth,and narcissus.Pin boutonnieres on the left lapels.

Flowers speak the language of romance through hiden meanings.Send your groom asubtle message in your bouquet:red tulips(declaration of love),ivy(fidelity).white roses("you' heavenly"),or lilacs (first emotions of love).or,spell his name,a message,with flowers:jasmine,ivy,magnolias,tell J-I-M he's special; lilies of the valley,orchids,violets,everlasting,send a message of l-o-v-e.

Fragrant Message

Tell bridesmaides you're honored by their presence by including a specail message in each bouquet.Pansies,white clover,forget-me-not("ours is special friendship"); blue violets( loyalty,faithfulness);or blue periwinkle (early friendship) are all ways to say 'i"m glad you're you".

Thank-yoursto parents come in pretty possibilities; white beliflowers (for gratitude); baskets of colorful pansies ("you are in my thoughts").

Particularly aromatic flowers,perfect for potpourri: daffodils,freesia,gardenias,grape hyacinths,irises,jasmine, lilacs,lilies,magnolia,roses,stephanotis,violets.Posted byEsther Bragaat6:44 PMNo comments: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest HomeSubscribe to:Posts (Atom)FollowersPagesHomeWildFlowers
