This summer has kept me SO busy with all of the weddings I have been arranging flowers for! I seriously need to get a real camera and take some decent pictures of my work, but these iPhone pics will have to do for now.
I made like fourteen flower crowns for my best friend's wedding back in June. I wish I would've thought of these for my own wedding because I think they are so fun and a lot easier to keep with you than a bouquet because you can just wear them on your head.
(ok looooowwww quality photo, I know. forgive me!)
Here is the bridal bouquet! I actually had to end up spray painting those ranunculus pink because the wholesaler only had orange available! In fact when I went to pick up the floral order the day before the wedding they had completely forgotten about my entire order, but we were able to sort it all out thankfully. It seems like every time I do a wedding about 39398484 things go wrong before I come out with the finished product. You just have to learn to roll with it.
This bouquet has been my favorite I have done this summer! Aren't those roses absolutely gorgeous?? They are David Austin roses and this particular pink beauty is called 'Juliet'. I think they are just the bomb but they are also verrrrryy pricey at a whole $10 a stem.
Loving these peach colored hydrangeas! I love the look of hydrangeas but honestly they are a pain in the rear to work with because they need so much water! If you cut a stem the wrong way or they are out of water for too long they will wilt and end up looking sad and it's hard to bring them back from that point.
Anyway just thought I'd share a few pics from what I've been working on this summer! I have two more weddings coming up and can't wait to share some of those pictures with you. I will try to get some of the professional photos of the flowers from my brides and maybe I can share some better looking stuff, haha.
If any of you have questions regarding flower care or just an arranging question or would like a tutorial on how to make something let me know!

These are gorgeous! What a great idea! If I hadn't gotten married already I would definitely look into an idea like this! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura! I know I wish I would've thought of those flower crowns before dang it!
DeleteOk you are amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Emily!
Deleteoh my goodness you are so talented! I've done flowers for a couple of weddings, and man, those flower crowns are NOT as easy to make as they seem haha. anyway, those bouquets are DREAMY.
ReplyDeleteThanks Leah! I know one takes like half an hour to make! It's crazy! And that's cool you arrange flowers too :)
DeleteLove those floral crowns! I sort of debated having one but then I worried that I'd feel like I was trying too hard since I'm a pretty traditional girl . . . kind of wish I'd had one though. Beautiful!

Thanks Kaylee! I know I wish I'd had one too!!! Oh well haha
DeleteThose floral crowns are so pretty! And I agree that they would be much easier to manage than a bouquet. I can't imagine how stressful it must be to have them tell you they forgot about your order right before someone's wedding!
