Garden Inspired Bouquets

Check out the bouquets we designed for the Spring/Summer 2011 issue of Arizona Bride Magazine. We were one of the three featured florists to design some delicious garden inspired bouquets. These bouquets were all made up of grasses, greenery, pods, succulents, and some fruits and veggies versus flowers. The pink and green bouquet had such ingredients as artichokes, kale, okra, and snowberries. The orange and green bouquet included clementines, brussel sprouts, chile peppers, and succulents all designed into a head of butter lettuce. We were thrilled with the outcome of our bouquets and how they still looked pretty enough for a bride to carry down the aisle, without including flowers. Although most of the items can only be found through a florist, the fruits and vegetables were all found at a local Sprouts Farmer's Market. Be sure to pick up a new Arizona Bride magazine today!

Rustic Wedding at Juniper Well Ranch

Wine bottles served as table #'s. Surrounded by candlelight and eclectic vases filled with blooms of hydrangeas, mums, safari sunsets and willow branches.

The arch were the ceremony took place was super romantic surrounded by fresh earth, vines, and ground cover. We spruced it up with some blue hydrangeas, ivory china mums, yellow rovers, safari sunsets, dendrobium orchids, greenery and curly willow branches. GORGEOUS!

Bridal bouquet started off small and ended up bigger as she walked down the aisle and gathered other blooms from close family/friends. Then her mother tied all of the bouquets together to make one large bouquet. Super colorful and perfect for this fall, rustic wedding.

Cake was amazing and looked magazine worthy! The favors for the guests were jars of honey, with "Meant To Be" the bride & grooms names and their wedding date listed. This wedding could not have been more detail oriented and absolutely breathtaking!

Feather Wedding Flowers

This bride wanted something a bit more unique.... Feathers! She loves the ostrich feathers and wanted to incorporate them into her bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages. What a beautiful way to add softness and movement to everything. The white calla lilies look splendid with the white ostrich feather accents. The black ostrich feathers made the magic roses & Swartz dark burgandy calla lilies look absoultely stunning! Throw in a couple of bouquet jewels and you've got something to talk about.

That's A Wrap!

Many brides like to do something fun and a bit artistic when it comes to wrapping their bridal and bridesmaids bouquets.
