Which Bouquet Is For You?

Oh Brides! There’s just so much details that you need to do in planning the perfect wedding. Your wedding dress, your hair, shoes and of course your very own bouquet. Wedding bouquets come in different shapes and sizes. Now a days, it’s not limited to fresh flowers only, it can be bunch of cute brooches tied up all together or it can be as simple as a fan.

The Posy Bouquet is an elegant and very classy style. It's made of variety of mixed colorful flowers, greenery with embellishments such as pearls or beading trims. To achieve that sophisticated look yet you do not want to spend tons, try to use seasonal flowers or head out to your nearest wholesale store to get those beautiful flowers for a lower cost.


The Fan Bouquet is well known for Asian weddings. This bouquet is composed of your favorite flowers that are attached to a fan. Some brides put feathers instead of flowers to make it unique. To stay within your budget, you can use carnation flowers together with baby’s breath (gypsophila) and lots of ribbons.



Lastly, the very popular Brooch Bouquet. This type of bouquet is very popular if you are having a vintage wedding. If I will do my wedding all over again, I will pick this bouquet for me to carry instead of the fresh ones. Why? Because of so many reasons, first it is very catchy and elegant looking. Second, you can keep it forever as a keepsake after the wedding. Third, if you are a DIY kind of bride, this will make you happy because you can create this bouquet ahead of time and you won’t be worrying if this will hold up or not until the big day.

Purple Haze Inspiration

Last week we saw how margarita pantone can be an eye opener for the coming season. For today, let’s turn to a more subdued spring palette. Yep, it’s lilac!

Sweet lilacs add femininity to a colour palette. For sure, brides will be calling for this lovely colour. Look at how pretty it is. When paired with white, pearl, or cream, it makes for a very sweet pastel combination.

However, when put together with colors such as red, pink, green, and blue, it blends in well and even stands out. Lilacs pretty much sum up how spring should feel- serene, calm, and yet vibrant.
