Groom's Bout - Green Beauty Rose with Craspedia, Solidago, Euc, Hypericum & Guinea Feathers.

All the corsages & bout's together.

The reception pieces were small centerpieces and all different from one another, so we just snapped a collection of photos to give you an idea of what they looked like together:

2012 Weddings - Yellow, Gray & White

We love the colors in this gorgeous summer wedding - so cool and classic!  This just went out of the shop last week.




The bridal bouquet - all white of lisianthus, freesia, hydrangeas & roses with seeded euc and dusty miller.

Mm....love dusty miller.




Bridesmaids of all yellow buttons, roses, freesia with seeded euc & dusty miller.

 Boutonnieres of billy balls, seeded euc and a touch of dusty miller.

Lisianthus corsage with seeded euc. Aren't these lizzys just gorgeous? We were oo'ing and aah'ing over them all week in the shop! So soft and pretty!

Annoucement: Brides of Oklahoma feature!

Did you know we're being featured in the next magazine of Brides of Oklahoma?

Did you?

We're pretty excited!

And not only that, but they've chosen one of our bouquets to be part of their Countdown to the Cover segment. Check it out here! (We have all oo'd and aah'd over this particular bouquet.) They'll be releasing the cover on Wednesday and we're excited to see what local bride they'll be showcasing this time.

One reason we're so excited to be a part of Brides is because we love what they're doing. Featuring local florists, cake designers, photographers and fabulous brides from our state? Yes, please! They release a spring & fall issue featuring real weddings that let designers show off their work from across the state. So we always highly recommend it to our own brides looking for inspiration - where better than from your own? The great thing is that the magazine features everything from drop dead elegant to bright cosmic colors to, yes, rustic barn elegance.

And (again) as always for more inspiration, be sure to check out our hand-picked blogs to the right. We follow these ourselves for keeping up with trends, styles and lovely floral fashion and love sharing our finds with you. These blogs feature from all over the world, so there's no doubt you can find your stylish soulmate there.

We can't wait to share our feature with you, so keep checking back here for details!

Composite Roses

Ooo..... brides, what do you think of carrying a composite rose for your bridal? We think they're gorgeous!

A composite rose consists of several roses put together to create the effect of one giant rose. (In this smaller case, three.) They remind us of the rose in Beauty & the Beast! What do you think of using them as your bridal or for your lovely bridesmaids? :) 

Composites are starting to make a comeback. You can create them out of several different flowers - gladiolas, (known as glamelias in this style), calla lilies, cymbidium orchids, carnations.... 

They can be labor intensive and therefore can be a little more costly, but the effect can be stunning! What do you think? 

Wedding Trends: It's still all about the Feathers.

Feathers are a HUGE trend in the wedding industry right now. (And if you're a bride you know that because you'll see them EVERYWHERE.) It all started with ostrich feathers a few years ago - and now it's any color, any kind goes! :)

Ostrich feathers are still very popular, but now you'll notice brides leaning more and more towards incorporating them for color as much as texture. This bridal that went out last week is a great example - cream roses with just a splash of turquoise feathers for color (and sparklies! all the sparklies!). We love it.

Even pheasant feathers are getting in on the act with the ever-popular "rustic chic" or "rustic elegance" look that you'll also be seeing a lot of now. There are so many types of feathers out there - don't be afraid to pull them into your look for an extra touch of style!

Bridal Beauty: Carnations

Carnations get a lot of bad rap from a lot of people - too often they're sadly disregarded as a "cheap" flower and are tossed aside as an option. Which is a shame because they come in some gorgeous colors.

But we're thinking this might just change their mind. ;)

This particular shade is of the "moon series" carnations - lavenders, medium purples and then this deep dark rich purple. I can't resist carnations all balled up like this - they give off the impression of one gigantic flower rather than several small ones. Beautiful.

This is one we completed in the shop last week, but you can see this style a lot in the current wedding trends. If you're looking to keep cost down - and at the same time keep your style high - don't underestimate these little beauties. They're bringing back some serious class to the wedding industry.

Wedding: Navy Blue & White Winter Wedding

We had a beautiful navy blue & white wedding at the beginning of January that I've been wanting to show off... but we got so busy and I just now finished editing the photos! Be sure to pay attention to that night sky in the background of the ceremony....it was GORGEOUS. Such a perfect shade of blue to match. And while you can't see it in the pics, the moon was shining through those windows! It was beautiful.

Congrats to Kelly & Matt Waller!! :) We wish you all the best in your married bliss!!

Fall Elegance: The Handheld Edition

I simply love this collection of flowers and colors. 

Let's start with the corsages, shall we?

A wristlet of black schzwalder & mango callas with berries & seeded euc.

And, of course, the men! Simple, yet stylish.

And then the oo-la-la handhelds...

Bridesmaids

 These bridesmaids bouquets were each a little unique, which made it so fun to design!













Even their wraps were each a little different.




And then, of course, what you've been waiting on....

Bridal

 This turned out so, so pretty. Callas, dahlias, hyperium, freesia....and those ribbon curls! The touches of glitz!

Sigh. Perfect colors. Perfect bride. Perfect wedding.
