Well wedding season is well
underway and what beautiful weather we have! Here is a little tip for all you
brides...If you have Hand Tied Bouquet designs for your wedding day, ask your
ushers or chief bridesmaid to carry a small bucket of water around with you and
put your flowers in water when you are not having photos taken to ensure they
look beautiful all day. So, here we are, Issue 4 and our second flower expert
blog! Please feel free to get in touch with Miss to Mrs Magazine if you have
any floral questions you may have and I will be more than happy to answer the
best way I can...
In this month’s blog we are
talking Bling! Black! White! It’s all about pure elegance...
How would you describe pure
elegance wedding floral design?
In my opinion every bouquet that I
design has an element of elegance to it, whether it is a contemporary bouquet
of Vanda Orchids or Hand Tied Design of compact Hydrangea and Peony. Elegance
can be created using any colour and design, but to me Pure Elegance shouts out
simplicity and minimalistic design. Keeping everything very natural and showing
the true beauty of floral design and flowers using very simple accessories such
as dymanty crystals and pearl beads.
What colour scheme would you
recommend to create a pure elegance and sparkly theme?
White, Ivory, Cream, Green and
even Black! I would recommend clear cut edges, minimalistic design and Sparkle
to be used throughout a pure elegant theme! The use of mirrors and dymanty
crystals add an extra touch of elegance and purity to floral design and would
really sit well within the theme.
What flowers would you use to
create a pure elegance style bouquet?
Keeping in
with a simple elegant theme I would recommend a Hand Tied bouquet of compact
Avalanche Rose. Using the roses to
create a big ball of domed roses, tied off with black satin ribbon and sparkly
dymanty crystals sitting in the centre of each rose. This creates a beautiful
simple and elegant bouquet, keeping the flowers very pure and showing their
beauty and also creating a wow factor bouquet. For something a little different
I would recommend an over the arm bouquet of trailing grasses with pearl beads
thread on. The grasses would create a perfect back ground for Phalanopsis
Orchids to trail over. Again tied off with Black or White Satin Ribbon this
bouquet would really impress your groom and guests and is pure elegant in every
element.
How would you create a pure
elegance style table decoration?
I think that by stripping
everything back and keeping to simple designs and using the correct design to
suit your tables and room is the key to creating the perfect pure elegant
design. Keeping everything in its natural appearance would look so beautiful
and adding those extra accessories would bring the wow factor to your room. I
would use the same flowers as used within your bridal bouquet, keeping your
theme running throughout every floral design. A simple clear glass flute vase
filled with clear gel balls and a compact ball of roses cascading from the top
or using mirrored bowls or cubes filled with roses and Phalanopsis orchids,
grasses and dymanty and pearls. You could even use Black Glass vases bringing
in a statement to your tables and providing a canvas that really will show off
your pure elegant flowers.
Happy Wedding Planning and See
