Flowers

Flowers. Flowers. Flowers...sigh. I'm in love with them. Tremendously. Especially this bouquet style that I've been seeing more and more frequently. The flowers seem to be dripping, oozing out of the brides hands. I'm not sure what the florist call this style of arranging but I love it! 

Check out these bouquets I refer to as drimpinge 😊.

Fall Wedding Bouquets

I'm wearing thigh-high boots and feeling really happy as I post this blog post. It's gloomy and raining outside but, I'm all sunny on the inside.  I think boots are my favorite fashion item for fall and winter...YEP! 

So, in my bubbly joy, I'm sharing some fall bouquets that I think you'll just love. Don't get me wrong, I love me a summery bouquet just like the next gal, but these Fall bouquets are really kind of up there for me too. Check these babies out:

Wedding Flower Budget

If there's one item on your wedding budget your fiance probably cannot understand or belittles, it's your flower budget. He probably doesn't understand why you have to pay so much for something that will "just die".

Well, sadly, a lot of people, other than a fellow bride-to-be, and your wedding vendors will understand the importance of having flowers at your wedding. That's okay, you're not crazy.

If your favorite flower is too expensive, consider just using your favorite flower in your bouquet, and on your table only. Choose a more affordable and complementary flower for the rest of the decor and bridesmaids. A good florist will be happy to come up with alternative options.

I could stare at flowers and pictures of flowers all day. I LOVE flowers [insert girliest shriek here].

Check out these gorgeous free flowing and loosely structured bouquets. Aren't they lovely?

Wedding Details - Fruit

It's always exciting to see how wedding stylists/planners/designers style centerpieces and place settings. They come up with the neatest and coolest ideas. 

Every year brings something new to the industry...something trendy or completely unique. Remember when mason jars were the IT item!? Every other wedding had a mason jar, clear glass or painted up. Loved that trend! However, trends die and we look for the next great creative idea.

One design element that I will never tire of, is fruit. Fruit creatively used throughout the wedding is timeless to me. 

Check out some of these fruity ideas:

Peony Bouquets

I think it's pretty much safe to say peonies are a favorite with us girls. I don't know what it is about this flower that just has us oohing and aahing.
I love how it works well with other flowers. I have never come across a peony bouquet that I haven't just fallen head over heels for :)

Beauty In Numbers

There's something about a mismatched centerpiece of grouped: vases, bottles, jars, tin-cans, and candelabras that I love. There's beauty in numbers :) 

Grouping vases with vintage tin-cans or mixing and matching different shaped and different colored vases is not only creative, it's an affordable way of putting simple things together to make something interesting and beautiful. 

I pulled some of my favorite groupings to show you how this neat idea can be beautiful. May you forever be inspired :)
