Hey everybody!
I am so excited to announce that you can now find me as Resident Floal Designer in Miss to Mrs Magazine!!! Issue 3 of Miss to Mrs Magazine is out nowI!!!
and here is my flower expert column...
In this month’s blog we are going
all Vintage Style and talking different types of Vintage Design.
How would you describe vintage
style wedding floral design?
Vintage style floral design to me
is capturing the natural beauty and fragrance of timeless blooms. Using blooms
to reflect a natural fragrant design really captures the beauty of the Vintage
Era.
What colour scheme would you
recommend to create a vintage theme?
The most popular colour scheme
for a vintage style wedding would be Ivory and Dusky Pinks. This year I have
seen the use of Blues and Purples become popular too. I think that pastel
colours reflect the vintage theme much better than using vivid oranges,
yellows, limes and reds, but then saying that, if the flowers are selected well
using Orange Roses, Berries, Solidaster, Poppies and Ranunculus a bright
coloured Vintage bouquet can look just as effective and timeless as a bouquet
using Pink Peony, Blue Scabious, Hydrangea, Astilbe and Syringia. It also
depends on season and design.
What flowers would you use to
create a vintage style bouquet?
I would
recommend flowers to reflect the season of when you are getting married. This
will also help to guarantee availability of the flowers you have chosen and
also help you keep your costing’s in on budget. As we are approaching the
summer and this year’s wedding season, I would suggest Peony, Ranunculus,
Hydrangea, Astilbe, Viburnum, Eustoma, Freesia, David Austin Roses, Avalanche
Roses and soft foliage like Panicum Fountain, Eucalyptus, and Small Leaf
Pittasporum. This choice of flower is all in season for the next few months and
will create a beautiful timeless vintage bouquet full of gorgeous scents and
fragrance.
How would you create a vintage
style table decoration?
Here are a couple of suggestions
for different themes:
Vintage Glamour: Using
Silver Metallic Candelabras using a ring of flowers at the top and the base of
the candelabra, brings together the vintage traditional timeless feel with the
glamorous metallic silver. Looks amazing together and very glamorous! You can
also use Metallic Silver Bowls over flowing with timeless blooms on alternative
tables.
Country Garden Vintage: Bringing the outside indoors and keeping a
very natural vintage tone to your guest tables, you could use milk bottles,
Jugs and coffee jars filled with natural vintage blooms such as Eustoma,
Freesia, Gypsophilia, Alchemilla mollis , Stocks
and Hydrangea, tied with natural Raffia. These blooms would create a lovely
fragrance to the room and the designs would be very fitting for your theme.
In conclusion, there is no right
or wrong decision to be made. If your theme is vintage using scented natural
and timeless blooms you can’t go wrong! It’s your wedding day and your florist
is there to make your vision and dreams come true!
Happy wedding planning
