Bird boutonierres!

Daffodil wedding bouquet

It's been a while since I posted due to many visitors popping in and my mother is with me for a short visit! Liz had ordered her wedding bouquet and 6 bouquet for her bridesmaids.She said she like bright colors and that her wedding colors were blue,green and yellow so the idea of daffodils popped in.I have been working on it with my mom and here is the collection!








The bouquet features ranunculus in shades of ivory and salmon,tulips in ivory,yellow,salmon and daffodils to create a pop.The bridesmaids hold a dozen cheery and bright daffodil with green stems.




In order to tie all into the color scheme I used a deep blue grosgrain ribbon with a rick rack tie on it.The bridesmaids have pale yellow grossgrain ribbon with blue ties.
The boutonierres are a flower called bachlelor's button in midnight blue.The stems are clay and finished with a crisscrossed ribbons.

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.

The flowers rest in a gorgeous ceramic basket I picked up some time ago.It has 6 peonies in various shades of pink and green faux berries and green velvet leaves to accent it -it is pretty large and would be lovely for the kitchen or a coffee table.
