Breathtaking Bouquets
Love blooms eternal when your bouquet is as breathtaking as these. From small and simple to large and lavish, here are four floral favorites that are yours for the picking.

Naturally Romantic. For a swooningly romantic bouquet, go au natural. Loosely tie several dozen long-stemmed pink sweetheart roses with yards of wide creamy satin ribbon, letting the ends trail. The bouquet nestles across your arm, creating a soft cascade of color. (This is not a bouquet you can throw, so a smaller toss bouquet is a must.)

Bouquet

Garden Variety. A mixed bouquet of yellow and peach Ecuadorian roses, paired with creamy lily-of-the-valleys and fresh lemon leaves, captures the sunny colors of a day in Provence. The long stems are bound with a sheath of orange satin, a deeper version of the flowers’ warm tones; jeweled gold buttons make a distinctive accent.

Bouquet

Simply Chic. A compact nosegay of peonies and poppies in cool shades of pink and purple looks stunning with understated gowns. The simplicity is chic, and the vivid colors against a white dress provide a striking contrast that photographs beautifully. Exposed stems tied with a simple ribbon add just the right touch of greenery.

Bouquet

Deeply Eclectic. The focal point of this exotic bouquet is deep scarlet roses. The velvety roses blended with fluffy white hydrangea, glossy red berries, feathery greenery and variegated trailing ivy yields a rich blend of colors and textures that are captivating under candlelight.

Helpful Hint: The bouquet should complement the dresses, so take swatches and photos of both your bridal gown and bridesmaids’ dresses to the florist.
