The bride carried a primarily white bouquet with accents of the Kiwi green. Her bouquet featured ivory roses with white ranunculus and hydrangea. For the green accents we used the light green mini hydrangea and green hypericum berries.

The maids bouquets featured orange gerbera daisies and spray roses with plenty of dark purple dianthus for contrast and interior volume.

The men of the wedding party wore boutonnieres of orange spray roses and green hypericum berries.

Thank you to the wonderful bride for choosing us to bring vibrant color into your wedding. We appreciate the opportunity to serve and please each bride that chooses Blossom Basket to be her florist.

From this view it might look like a garden gathered bunch, but when you see it in the bride’s hands …

it is clearly a professionally designed custom bridal bouquet!

We used lush greens in different shades and textures to provide a natural backdrop for freesia, snapdragons, mums, alstroemeria, and wax flower. The wow factor was supplied by the variation in flower types, as well as the analogous color palate.

The (many) bridesmaids carried a simplified version centered on the freesia blooms in orange to compliment their blue dresses. The freesia was nestled in a field of assorted greens and white wax flower.

Orange freesia and wax flower were also used in the groom boutonniere.

To bring the lush feel of the garden in to the sanctuary bows of satin and tulle were accented with lush stems of draping greenery.

Thank you to D & K for choosing Blossom Basket as your wedding florist!

While the bridesmaids carried small hand tied bouquets in shades of purple, the bride opted for a more traditional bridal bouquet for herself. Her white teardrop cascade of roses and lilies was kissed with purple stock and lavender limonium.

Originally they had planned on using all roses (the bride’s favorite flower) in fall shades. But after spending some time looking through pictures, they decided to incorporate a few more types of flowers for texture and interest. We were all thrilled with how the flowers we chose came together into the perfect floral arrangements for them.

The bridesmaids wore red dresses with persimmon sashes. To carry these colors into the hand tied bridal bouquets we used the roses the bride loves so much to comprise the majority of the color and volume and then added mini callas, freesia, hypericum berries, and seeded eucalyptus for a wider range of colors and textures.

At the front of the lovely ornate sanctuary, two arrangements designed in coordinating colors decorated the alter. The additional piece on the left adorned the Unity Candle which had it own candle stand.

Thanks again to Julie Adcock of Downtown Design & Photography who captured and shared these lovely images.

The groom wore a simple boutonniere of yellow spray roses to echo the yellow of his bride’s bouquet. While his groomsmen’s boutonnieres were comprised of delphinium to coordinate with the bridesmaids’ bouquets.

Thank you to the bride and groom for choosing Blossom Basket to help you bring a pop of color to your very happy day.

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.

For this summer wedding we paired creamy ivory roses with these dramatic calla lilies for a romantic look. Loops of variegated lily grass and italian pittosporum were used as greenery accent to complete the bouquet.

The bride carried a round hand-tied bouquet and looked stunning.

The handsom groom wore an ivory rose boutonniere to match the ivory roses of the bridal bouquet.

And they lived happily ever after!

A big thank you to Julie Adcock of Downtown Design for sharing these beautiful photographs.

Her bridesmaids wore a vibrant shade of hot pink named Watermelon from David’s Bridal.
One of our goals was to match the hue of their dress with the roses, but create bouquets for them that would stand out against the pink dress. We did that by using orange lilies and plum dianthus in addition to the hot pink roses.

We used sent some of the same roses to Lori of Cakes by Lori and she used them to adorn the beautiful cake.

Thank you to Illini Studio for sharing these wonderful pictures.
