Abigail and Jason January 2017

This past weekend I has the privilege of being a bridesmaid in my friend Abbie's wedding. She also gave me the opportunity to arrange her flowers. She really wanted an elegant, winter look without any kind of allusion to the holidays we just passed. Here is what we came up with...

 

The most important thing is the bride's bouquet. You can see my friend Abbie holding it and I also include the other shot so you can see the special wrap I did around the handle. It's all about the details so this bouquet has blush pink roses, dark purple phaleonopsis orchids, dusty miller, white alstromeria, blue thistle, white statis and evergreens. More complex than my bouquets usually are, I think these flowers look great together.

Here is one of the bridesmaid bouquets. Very similar the the bride's bouquet but without orchids and smaller overall. 

And here you see the assorted wrist corsages and boutonnieres I put together. I love the dainty evergreen with the small spray roses. The blue thistle makes for a more modern look for the guys. To coordinate with the bride's bouquet, I did a special orchid boutonniere for the groom.
