Blushing Bride

Gardenias, Curly Willow and more! When designing a wedding bouquet, I talk with the Bride at length about what her wedding style is and what her favorite flowers are. For this one, the Bride absolutely loved Gardenias (they were her mother and grandmother’s favorite too!) so it was an absolute must to have them featured. But, we also needed to modernize them into a bouquet that spoke to her current style- something with an unexpected twist! She loves the look of the curly willow branches that are ever so popular now. So how do you incorporate all that and have it “make sense” for the wedding? You can see the bouquet has Gardenias throughout it; we took curly willow and wound it around the edges so you would see branches peeking out subtly! The softness of the gardenia compliments the starkness of the curly willow in a beautiful, unexpected way.
