If you are interested to learn more about flowers from a formal course or want to get certified as an expert on florals, we recommend looking into professional bodies and colleges in gardening and floristry such as the American Institute of Floral Designers of the AIFD (www.aifd.org), the National Gardening Organization (www.garden.org), the American Floral Endowment (www.endowment.org), the American Horticultural Society (www.ahsgardening.org) and other similar organizations offering programs concentrating on floristry and horticulture.

Unique Flowers

Filler flowers

While often relegated to supporting roles in showy bouquets, filler flowers possess a delicate, almost fragile beauty that captivates you with their innocence and understated elegance. We recommend soft and warm blooms like baby's breath, lily of the valley, Queen Anne's lace, delphiniums, and bouvardias.

Dried flowers

Brides all around the world have been embracing this trend's wonderfully rustic look. With warm hues and distinct textures, dried flowers inspire a nostalgic mood to your stunning bouquet while also evoking a message of eternal love. Their versatility also blends flawlessly with any wedding motif. For your flower choices, wildflowers, lavenders, hydrangeas, proteas, and roses make beautiful dried flowers.

Big blooms

Make a statement with big, bold blossoms! A bouquet with oversized flowers adds an extravagant and dramatic effect to your wedding look to match your fearless and confident persona. Among the most eye-catching large blooms are peonies, water lilies, calla lilies, and gardenias.

Succulents

Boho chic is in, and so are succulents. For a more natural, textured look, go for these stylish eye-catchers! Whether you match them up with choice blooms or pull off an all-succulent arrangement, these stunners are a pragmatic and gorgeous choice for a distinctive bouquet.

Sunflowers

Love brings joy and lightness to the heart, so add a bright burst of good cheer to your wedding look with sunflowers! If their summery look weren't enough, these blossoms also carry a heartwarming meaning: they signify adoration, fidelity, and lifelong joy. What better way to start a life full of joyous love than with a bundle of the happiest flowers?

Themed Bouquets

Monochromatic

Sleek, chic, and fabulous-- all qualities of a monochrome bouquet that elevates your wedding to modern sophistication. One color with varied flowers or in diverse shades adds texture to your bouquet while keeping a clean look. Go for standards like pinks and whites, which are always in vogue. If you want more of an edge or have a fondness for the gothic, don't be afraid to go for an all-black bloom ensemble.

Tropical

Celebrate your destination wedding with a bouquet that suits its sunny vibe! Parrot tulips, anthuriums, oriental lilies, bird of paradise, and monstera are typical go-tos for an exotic, zesty look. For color choices, you can't go wrong with rich oranges, loud magentas, and popping yellows. Palm leaves or banana leaves also add warmth and density to your arrangement.

Seasonal

Your wedding is all about new beginnings, like the first breath of spring or chill of winter. Seasonal flowers accentuate this lovely sentiment. Even better, there's also the pragmatic advantage of having them readily available for your wedding date. Seasonal bouquets come in a wide variety of colors and blooms, giving you the freedom to pick the perfect bouquet.

Signature Styles

Cascade

Finally, a flowy, enchanting bouquet to complement your fairytale wedding! Cascades lure the eyes down a trail full of lush blooms, fine foliage, and rich greens, creating an ethereal look and a waterfall-like illusion that will make your wedding truly a dream come true.

Horizontal

A harmonious wrap of florals and foliage that joins a relaxed feel with a softly lavish look, the horizontal bouquet is sophistication personified. It sweeps to the sides, creating clean and aesthetically appealing lines. Known for its versatility, it can be suited to a wild style with vines and stems or a conventional bouquet with bountiful blossoms.

Hand-tied

Simplicity is sophistication with the hand-tied bouquet, evoking a truly unique touch with its free-spirited, loose, and laid-back style. All it entails is a bundle of flowers and greenery tied together with a ribbon or a silk wrap, making it effortless to create and set even on your own.

Hoop

This buzzworthy style is making waves among brides nowadays! Evoking the romantic appeal of wreaths from days of yore, this bouquet has florals, greens, and ribbons tied around a wooden or metal hoop. With a dreamy look and a laid-back aura, you'll surely fall in love with this delightful garland.

Special Touches

Berries

Fruit might not be the very first thing that enters your mind when it comes to bridal bouquets, but berries create complex accents for a wild and natural look. Large, vibrant berries like hypericum berries, blackberries, raspberries, and snowberries make a bouquet pop with color and fullness. For more subtle but stylish accents, go for tallow, berzelia, and pepper berries.

Greens

Lush greens and lovely foliage add enchantment to your bouquet with stunning color palettes, captivating textures, and even appealing aromas for a fresh, forest-inspired arrangement. Whether you go with a delicate trail or a full, dense look, these beauts add whimsy and vividness to complement your delightful blooms.

Feathers

Combining classic glamor with a sense of lightness and softness, feathers inspire a vintage vibe, while building a contemporary look with their delightfully unique style. These unusual accessories also come in varied types with their own unique textures and colors, making them surprisingly versatile and easily suited to different wedding themes.

Paper

Get creative with hand-crafted paper flowers! Your special creations can be just as stunning as fresh flowers, while carrying more meaningful sentiments. Plus, you can cherish it as a long-lasting keepsake after your wedding! Whether it's florals made from the sheet music of your special song or maps of where you first met, this bouquet is sure to be one for the books.
