Bouquet Handle Adornment


No bouquet is complete without tailored stems. How you wrap your bridal bouquet should reflect your style and personality. This is where your bouquet becomes a work of art that you will remember for many years to come.

                    
    The most popular way to wrap your bouquet is with ribbons and fabric. 
   A lovely satin or chiffon ribbon adds a classic feeling,
   timeless and elegant.


                
    Natural fabrics like this burlap cuff studded with pearls says sweet
    sophistication.



              
Vintage lace simply looped around the stems of this beautifully relaxed
bunch of field flowers lends balance and a touch of refinement.





Using adornments like family heirlooms adds the little details that every bride craves. Lockets, rings and religious jewelry honors your family and can symbolize the unity of 2 families coming together.


               


Studding the stems with pearl or crystal pins offers a clean and classic look.
For a twist on the classic, try vintage hat pins, buttons, brooches, and earrings.





The possibilities are truly endless when it comes to utilizing foliage to finish your bouquet. You can create collars with aspidistra, ti, flax, or salal, just to name a few. Bear grass, or a wider monkey grass can be used to create lines and movement.


Whatever you decide for your big day, have fun and don't be afraid to think outside the box!

~Something about Yellow~

Sassy, happy and full of sunshine, it's just not possible to
be greeted by yellow flowers and not respond with a grin.
Radiating energy and glowing with joyful affection, a yellow floral arrangement symbolizes new beginnings, happiness
and friendship. :O)
