#BouquetBreakdown - The "Celeste"  Hiiii! We're back for another #bouquetbreakdown and this one is LONG! We hope you've got your snacks and a glass of wine ready! This boho-inspired bouquet has a whopping 18, yes 18 ingredients! So what makes this bouquet "boho"? The texture, the color, and dare we say, the free-spirit vibe. The mixture of the traditional greeneries, not-so-traditional greeneries, and grasses poking out gives this bouquet more of a loose, meadow feel. Yup, you heard right grass. Well, technically grasses. So why do we LOVEEEEE this bouquet? We love this bouquet because it's different. It's unique and wild. This boho bouquet is perfect for a mountainside or woodsy elopement. This bouquet could even be rocked in a more rustic venue or lakeside ceremony. So let's break it down! Within our 18 ingredients, we have 7 different types of greenery and 11 different flowers. A lot of these flowers are old favorites with a funk...

#BouquetBreakdown - The "Juliet"  When we're asked to describe what we envision as the holy grail of wedding bouquets, we immediately think of the "Juliet". Juliet just like the fairytale name suggests is a romantic, timeless love story featuring white blooms in a bed of lush greenery. So why do we LOVEEEEE this bouquet? Whether you're getting married in a rustic barn, lakeside retreat, or winery this bouquet is for you. The white blooms bring a very bridal feel while the greenery giving you the pop of color to distinguish the white blooms against the white dress. It's been deemed one of our all-time favorites and we can't wait to share more imagines from this stunning mini-mony with you! So let's cut to the chase and break it down. Duchesse de Nemours Peonies: These brilliant white peonies came straight from our personal cut flower garden. They are a garden favorite as they smell heavenly and have stems that often produce multiple...

#BouquetBreakdown - The "Jennifer"  While the crocus and daffodils might be known as the first signs of spring, you also often hear that peony blooms are the first sign of summer. And this week, we’re shouting from the rooftops! The peonies have begun blooming!!! To celebrate the first sign of summer we’ve done a bouquet breakdown on this show-stopping peony bouquet. We first met with the wedding couple in early 2018 to discuss their flowers. The bride shared a vision of peonies as far as the eye could see. Let’s be real here, we LOVED IT! After deciding on a light pink, blush, and white palette we went over a few different options of bouquets. It didn’t take long before we sketched out a large bouquet filled with eucalyptus, peonies, garden roses, and more! So why do we LOVEEEEE this bouquet? The “Jennifer” has all the elements of a traditional bridal bouquet but with added pops of greenery to give it some more dimension and depth. It’s classic, simple, and a ve...

#BouquetBreakdown - The "Alexis"  Another day another bouquet breakdown. Today we're here to breakdown our first bridal bouquet we ever made for a real wedding! And yes, today is their first anniversary! This beautiful bride dreamed of blush and white fluffy peonies and garden roses. After seeing this bride in person we couldn't have imagined a more luxurious and posh bouquet for her dreamy day.  So why do we love this bouquet so much?  Besides the bouquet having such a special place in our heart for being our first bridal bouquet ever, we love the simplicity of it. The clean and simple design really allows for the bride and her dress to be the center of attention.  So what's in this bouquet?  Not a lot to be honest. Once again the simplicity gives this design the high-end feel.  Blush & White Peonies: Peonies are 100% the most highly requested flower for weddings and bridal bouquets. We'd be lying if we said we didn't love the...

#BouquetBreakdown - The "Nikki"  We're coming at you with a super unique bouquet for this bouquet breakdown. We'd be lying if we told you this bouquet was a breeze to make. The giant tillandsia xerographica was HEAVY! Our traditional wire and stick method that we use for other non-flower things like succulents did not work for this. We had to think outside the box. Our solution, a chicken wire cradle! Hidden under all that greenery and all those blooms was a chicken wire cage. We carefully glued and wired the xerographica in the cradle and then filled in with blooms and greens around till the cradle was hidden. So why do we love this bouquet? We love a challenge and we love to problem solve. Side note: many of you may not know, but I(Emily), am a real math and science nerd. Till life decided it had other plans for me, I was set to attend Iowa State University as a chemical engineering major. Wild! I know! While I am kind of sad I wasn't able to follow throu...

#BouquetBreakdown - The "Alyssa"  So, we've decided, bouquet breakdowns are kinda our thing. We absolutely love flowers and talking about flowers. I suppose you could say, "well that's because you're a florist." While that is true we also have a small suspicion that you guys like them as well. We hope you at least find them entertaining and maybe even a little educational. This bouquet breakdown might be a little shorter than our other ones but none-the-less we LOVE this bouquet. So why do we love this bouquet so much? We find the "Alyssa" to be super elegant and timeless. This is the kind of bouquet that you'll look back at 30 years from now and think wow! I'm so glad I picked such a classic bouquet. So what's in this bouquet? You may be thinking hmmm that looks like just roses. Well, we do have some stunning roses in here but we also have a new kind of eucalyptus and lisianthus. But first, let's start off with thos...

#BouquetBreakdown - The "Amelia"  We can't help ourselves! We absolutely love bouquet breakdowns. We often hear wedding couples say "oh I really like those! What are they?" or "Those are roses? I guess then I do like roses and I'd like those in my bouquet." While we have zero expectations of our clients flower knowledge we find when a client is more confident during our consultations they are able to ask the questions they want. Therefore, making the consultation more productive and leaving the wedding couple feeling like they were completely heard. So why do we love this bouquet? The cascade of course! While it's not a full floor-length cascade we find that even a little cascade action adds an immense amount of elegance to a bouquet. A cascade bouquet no matter the flower choice will always be a show stopper. So what's in this bouquet? EVERYTHING! We have the most affordable greenery all the way to one of the high-end greeneri...
