Wedding Inspirations | Wheat Bouquets

We can hardly believe we are in the second half of October! This chilly, Fall weather has really snuck up on us and has gotten us thinking about Fall weddings ideas, particularly wheat bouquets! We love sticking a few of these cute, little springs as accents in your wedding bouquet or using wheat as a unique flower alternative.

Wedding Inspirations | Cascading Bouquets

Cascading bouquets are making a comeback and no, we are not talking about your mother's 80's bouquet. We are loving today's modern cascading bouquet using gorgeous, lush flowers like peonies, hydrangea and ranunculus. These bouquets are dramatic, elegant and romantic and we absolutely love this wedding trend revival!

Wedding Inspirations | Glamelias

We are so in love with Glamelias! What is a Glamelia, you ask? A Glamelia is a composite wedding bouquet that resembles 1 giant flower. The bouquet is created by taking petals from many flowers and gluing them to a special form to create 1 unique bloom. If you are looking for a unique bouquet that will be sure to wow your guests, the Glamelia is just that!

2013 Trends | Ferns

Since we're gearing up for a busy wedding season, we're sharing some of the trends we're seeing.  We've already shared floral crowns, 1920s vintage, blush/nude tones, metallics, and bold patterns.  Today's trend is all about the florals, but with a twist - ferns!  Ferns provide so much texture, while still providing a lush, green feel - and are a little more unique than your standard florals.
