Champagne, Ivory, Gray and Dusty Blue Silk Wedding Flowers

Haley’s gorgeous wedding flowers were so fun to design. She loved the idea of incorporating some champagne wedding flowers into her silk bridal bouquet to match her dress which was ivory and champagne with beading. Her guys were going to be all in gray and the bridesmaids would be in dusty blue, so we wanted to find ways to make it all go together for a very soft and lush look.

This modified cascade style bridal bouquet was stunning. The dahlias, roses, baby’s breath, lamb’s ear and gray winter berries were just the right amount of texture and soft colors to stand out in a crowd.

The bridesmaid bouquets were almost all ivory with roses and baby’s breath but at the last minute Haley wanted to add in some gray Brunia Berries for a little contrast. We used the lamb’s ear again to soften it up around the edges so they weren’t too round of bouquets. Haley really wanted the bouquets to look looser and less formal in their shape. So adding the lamb’s ear at opposite edges and asymmetrically really did the trick.

The cute little toss bouquet matched the bridal bouquet.

Champagne can be a tricky color, not too peachy, or pinky or pale; just the right amount of color. Maybe your dress isn’t the traditional bridal white. Not a problem! Contact me today to work on design ideas.

Regency and Lilac Purple Silk Wedding Flowers- Part 1

Pam called me with some ideas about she wanted for her wedding flowers. Her wedding dress was regency purple and she wanted to accent with that color in her bouquets, but was worried about it not being a close enough match. I sent her over to my blog to look at some bouquets I had previously made and she fell in love with this cascading bouquet that actually had a lighter shade of purple. This lighter shade was a great match to what her bridesmaids would be wearing, so I decided to design the bouquets from an “opposites” approach. Basically, the bride is wearing regency purple, but carrying white and lilac while the bridesmaids are wearing lilac and carrying white and darker purple flowers. That way we didn’t have to have exact matches, the purples would stand out against the dresses and both colors would be included. Take a look at what we came up with!

Orchids, Calla Lilies, lilac Blossoms, Baby’s Breath

Bridesmaid Bouquet: Hydrangea, Waxflower. Toss Bouquet: Hydrangea, Waxflower, Baby’s Breath.

Here’s a look at the bouquets all together to see the contrast between the purples. They look lovely together!

Here’s a shot of a couple of their boutonnieres and corsages. She chose to have the regency purple in the groom’s boutonniere and switched it to the baby’s breath for the other boutonnieres. The only corsage was an attendant’s wristlet that featured each of the types of flowers.

If you are wearing a dress that is a non-traditional color and you want to incorporate that into your bouquets, contact me today to find out how we can work it all in without getting too saturated by it. Check back later this week to see some photos from Pam’s wedding!
