Flowers

Looking through blogs and websites yesterday, I found the first 'different' bouquet that I've seen for a long time. The combination of flowers, leaves, patterns and colour really works.

Your posy is the first part of your ensemble guests see,
so it should be nothing short of jaw-dropping.

Must be honest and say, I don't find the other images that amazing but here they are for you to judge.

Two lush blooms plus two hairpins equals one alluring accessory
 -- think of it as a fresh-picked fascinator.
Garden roses like these are well suited for the task:
They’re extremely long lasting, lie flat against your head, and are fragrant 
 

Take the mantra “less is more” to heart and let a single flower shine.
Choose a captivating bloom from your bouquet,
like these ‘Showmaster’ amaryllis


Mixed greens -- in this case, sprays of exploding grass, leaves, and ferns --
are a florist’s secret weapon. Not only do they offer lushness and volume
without adding to your bottom line, but they also provide amazing contrast. 


The jasmine, roses, camellia leaves, and snowberries in this
attention-grabber form a loose cascade meant to spill
down the front of your dress. 

bring loads of drama -- the good kind -- to your reception tables.
When sending your flowers skyward, use tall vessels
(these soar to almost two feet) that taper at eye level
and keep the bulk of the arrangements well above guests’ sight line.

There’s nothing more romantic than walking toward your groom
on a gradient carpet of rose petals.
