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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In conclusion, there is no right or wrong decision to be made. If your theme is Pure Elegant then by keeping your designs very simple and minimalistic you can’t go wrong! It’s your wedding day and your florist is there to make your vision and dreams come true!
