Setting the Stage – Blink of an Eye Photography

This past year modern brides embraced all things romantic!  This bride opted for a slight touch of blush pink color in her bouquet, while keeping her maids’ bouquets a softer palette of creamy white.  Don’t you just love the beautiful floral backdrop piece that Floral V designed for the stage?!  How stunning!

In season flowers

  Using in season summer flowers is a great way to guarantee perfection in your floral product. This bridal bouquet consisted of dahlias, garden roses, stock, freesias, lisianthus, white solidago and ranuculas. All of these flowers are available from summer to fall. Of course you can get them most times of year, but the cost will be greater and the quality won’t be as good.

Recipe for a beautiful Bridal Bouquet

What makes this bouquet so stunning? So beautiful? How do you make something like this?  These are all questions that we hear often from our brides going thru our portfolio books.  So, we decided to explain the process of making this bridal bouquet. First we start out with our four main flowers Ivory roses White Ranuculas White Dahlias White Freesia Our next step was to start building the bouquet, we started with building the base of Ivory Roses. We next added 10 stems of ivory Dahlias throughout the roses. After adding the Dahlias we added in 10 stems of Ivory Freesia. After adding in the Freesias we added in 15 White Ranuculas. We added accents of large, chunky pearls throughout the bouquet. Adding greenery around the edge of the bouquet. Wrapping the bridal bouquet in ivory satin ribbon. Finishing touches on the bouquet ribbon.  Clusters of pearls. And the final product…… Thank you Chuck Childers Photography

Tulips

The Tulip, is typically associated with perfect love and modesty. Tulips are one of springs most popular flower; known for their long sturdy stems and smaller cup shaped bloom. Thousands of years ago, Tulips originated from Turkey and Persia; then they were introduced to Europe in the 17th century.  It started “Tulipmaina,” especially in the Netherlands. Now today, each individual Tulip has its own meaning. Red Tulips declare true love & fame and fortune where as pink tulips show happiness and confidence.  The yellow Tulip represents cheerfulness and sunshine and the white Tulip shows forgiveness and worth.
