… the sunken garden that is.

The lovely bride carried a garden inspired combination of white blooms. Each bridesmaid carried a simple but striking trio of full-sized white callas lilies.

The lush texture in this all white bouquet was accomplished by utalizing small bloom flowers of different shapes. The volume of the bouquet is primarily hydrangea and stock, with dendrobium orchids and mini calla lilies added as focal flowers. For greens combination of dark ruscus greens and lighter foxtail ferns were used to finish the bouquet.

To compliment the garden setting an arrangement of assorted flowers was set on either side of the stone stairway. Bright whites and greens were paired with assorted other colors to tied the bridal bouquet flowers into the colorful garden setting.

Thank you to the beautiful and happy couple for choosing Blossom Basket to create floral arrangements for your wedding day. We also owe a thank you to Downtown Design and Photography for capturing these beautiful images of our work and sharing them with us.
