Wedding Flowers Inspiration

I'm suppose to meet with our event design company tomorrow (Red Mountain Design), which also happen to be doing our wedding flowers. I've met with them a few times before, but tomorrow we're suppose to firm up the selections for our wedding flowers. 

To prepare for the meeting and to be able to get my ideas across visually, I created a wedding flowers inspiration board.

As you can (hopefully!) see from the board, I'm going for a loose, romantic, garden feel for the florals. I hope this helps to translate what's in my head into what appears on the day of the wedding!! :)

Okay, one more...

As soon as I made that last post, I decided to do a couple more searches for bouquets....and I cam across this one...

Isn't it beautiful? Soft, romantic, lush and garden-like...sounds pretty perfect!

I also found these on the same website:

I think they'd be pretty as bridesmaid bouquets...but obviously in a different color for our wedding...maybe replacing those pinks with purples. I do love the greenery in these though. 

all images in this post are from the Nancy Liu Chin website.

Flower Power

I love flowers. ...it's true! Always have, always will. And yes, I even love planting flowers :)

This post is all about the flowers.

I unfortunately do not have credits for all of these pictures...I've been collecting these pictures for probably CLOSE to a year now! (wowza!) Most of the colors are pretty much what we would use for the wedding (because that's what i was looking for) BUT obviously, some of the flowers are not the right color - in those cases we'd have to switch the colors but i included them because i like the shape and composition of them. 

So, what do you guys think?? Which are your favorites? 

I love this Bouquet.

Not much time for an entry at the moment, but I had to share this bouquet. I love it! It's so soft and romantic and so garden-like. I love the colors and the texture. I could do with a little less greenery in the middle between the peony and the ranunculus, but overall it's pretty close to perfect!

Centerpiece Inspiration

I know that for the centerpieces i want something very garden-like...loose, lots of greenery and kinda "flowly" ...yeah, i know...that's not a word. But you get the idea? I want varying shades of deep purple (NO LAVENDER OR LILIAC PURPLES!!) mixed with whites, creams, blush and lots of greenery. I'm thinking leafy, vine like greenery intertwined and cascading. Although I like the short "just-gathered" centerpiece look, it would look best in our venue to have tall centerpieces. The reception is in a tent with VERY high ceilings and we'll need tall centerpieces to make that space seem not quite so empty and high.

Of course, as you all know, I'm quite picky on my shades of purple :) but i've managed to find a couple pictures where i like the color and the flowers. The shapes of these centerpieces would not work for me though - because of the whole height issue. Here's the inspiration pictures i found for our centerpieces:

Another point goes to Purple!

I love this bouquet. I was really picturing myself with a white bouquet...but i do really love this one. We'll see what happens. I could always use this bouquet as inspiration for the centerpieces. hmmmm....

Isn't it pretty?!?
