Bridal Bouquets 2012

One of my favorite parts of designing wedding flowers is putting together the bridal bouquet. Some of the more popular flowers that we used in bouquets this year were succulents, anemones, craspedia (Billy Balls), and dahlias. Below are some of my favorite bouquets from my 2012 wedding season...

 Hydrangea, Anemones, Craspedia, Dahlias, Roses, and Dusty miller.

Anemones and Lace

Just picked up some anemones the other day at the mart and made some sample wedding flowers. Anemones are one of my favorite bulb flowers and I love the varieties that they come in (purples, whites with black centers, blues, reds, pinks, etc). I usually start seeing aneomes at the mart around the middle of fall and they usually last until middle of May. I also incorporated some lace and a brooch in the bouquet and centerpiece (thought it added a nice vintage touch :)
