Purple Dahlia Bouquet petite

I had a order for a petite purple bouquet from Victoria.
The request was for shades of purples flower with white flowers.Finally after juggling a bit around with different variations I felt purple dahlias,lavender bud roses and white gerber daisies went well together.I had this lavender berry filler and it went well with that I addded that finished of with some preserved leaves.

She ordered 2 corsage for the bridesmaids in ivory.I made 3 flower and added plum accents as their dresses are shades of plum.

The men get boutonierres of ivory stephanotis and violets (my first time I am doing this) I added a few velvet leaves and they look gorgeous with ivory satin ties.
