Wedding Flower Styles 2012 - Part II

The second installment of photos from the floral demonstration in Seattle by designer, Susan Ayala. Since she showed us multiple trends throughout the day, I wanted to show you as many as I could.  Enjoy these beautiful floral inspirations!


A new idea for for mothers and grandmothers: composite orchid bouquet.  Could use instead of a corsage, it is a small bouquet they carry.  Very pretty with the wire and beaded leaf holder.


I am a sucker for pink tones!  This bouquet includes roses, peonies and orchids in shades of white, cream, peach, pink and purple.


The pink bouquet shown in a vase, added to the centerpieces for the same wedding.  Great way to add to your reception arrangements.  Love the use of the rosette succulents in the centerpieces!


Close up of the succulents and roses. The beauty of succulents is you can pull them out of your arrangements after the wedding and plant them.  They will grow and give you a great living reminder of your wedding.


This picture just doesn't do this white cascade bouquet justice. It was stunning! The base of the bouquet is composed of roses, gardenia, peonies, tuber roses and calla lilies.  The cascade is jasmine, orchids and calla lilies.  It was also dripping with strands of crystals.  A real show stopper.


They also displayed buckets of flowers from the flower growers, highlighting the best of their seasonal flowers.  I loved this bucket stuffed with proteas in shades of pink and yellow.  Wouldn't this make a great wedding color palette? 


From another grower, showing the various shapes and colors of succulents. Loved the tight rosettes in the center that are tipped in pink.


This was another of my favorite buckets.  Full of gorgeous white/green  orchids and pink/white anthuriums. The cattleya orchids in the center of the bucket were stunning, with their ruffly edges. Really inspirational.

Hope you enjoyed viewing these pictures.  Please contact Country Bouquets Floral for a consult if you would like to discuss how you can incorporate any of these ideas into your wedding.


Red and Black Wedding At The Quarry

One of my favorite past weddings, held at The Quarry in LaConner, was of Heather and Dustin in 2010. Using a color palette of red and black, their wedding was so strikingly beautiful.  Their photographer, Sheila Carson, did an amazing job capturing the moments. Here are some highlights from their special day:

How gorgeous is this cake? Just a few orchids placed down the sides make it so classically beautiful.
