ONE OF A KIND BRIDE, ONE OF A KIND BOUQUET!

Thinking outside the proverbial box seems to be the trend in bridal bouquets today.  Gone are the days of perfectly round carnation bouquets that are sprayed powder blue to match a pastel tuxedo.  Brides today want their weddings and their accessories to show uniqueness and creativity.  Bold color choices such as turquoise and red, splashes of striped ribbons streaming down and ornate vintage bobbles tucked into bouquets have become main stream.  Vintage over sized garden fresh looks are replacing the perfectly tailored bouquets of years ago.  Styles come back around and the young women are embracing the looks that their great grandmothers would have loved.  Never the same, always with a twist the bridal flowers of today take on a statement of their own.  Each bride has her own color pallet and choice of botanicals to suite her personality and expressions of romance. 
To me these bouquets are like snowflakes, no two the same, with beautiful patterns all their own. The more I work with brides the more I learn about the process and the pride that comes in picking the finishing touches for her special day.  I have my own special way of offering a bridal consultation which includes a kind of "flower shop show and tell"  where the brides get to see many of the flowers they are planning to use.  Superior to a photograph, it is a visual touch that helps many young couples to envision the finished product. 
When you love what you do, it shows!
