Inspiration vs. Interpretation: Classic White Round Bouquet with Something Blue
I ask almost every client for inspiration photos during the creative process. It helps me understand exactly what they are envisioning for their wedding. When Shannon reached out and asked me to dessign for her and Brent’s intimate nuptials at Cooper Chapel, she actually brought me a picture of my own design! I was so flattered! She loved everything about it, but wanted to add a touch of something blue.
Inspiration vs. Interpretation: Classic Fall Bouquet
Creating a wedding based on an inspiration photo is an artistic process that requires a delicate balance between replication and innovation. As an artist, my aim is not to duplicate the inspiration directly but to capture its essence and translate it into a unique, personal experience.
The Evolution of Wedding Flowers: Pastels & Neutrals
The Henry Sisters—Andria, Alyssa, and Karah have all been married within the past 15 years and they all had pastel and neutral flowers as a focal point, but in their own way and reflecting the trends of their wedding time. Let’s dive into the details and see which wedding fits your vibe the most.
White Garden Rose Wedding with Something Blue at Osage House
I love putting a fresh, modern spin on the classics. For Chandler and Jacob’s wedding at the grand Osage House, they envisioned a classic white color palette with something blue. Think timeless, white blooms with a special pop of color!
For Chandler’s bouquet, we used an array of delicate flowers in white: garden roses, anemones, and ranunculus. The something blue was pale delphinium, gray-blue eryngium, and navy privet berry. It was lush and lovely and perfect with her off the shoulder gown!
White and Green Hydrangea Wedding at The Inn at Carnall Hall
For Mary Kate’s bouquet, we used white hydrangeas, tulips, and gardenias accented with crisp green salal. It was fluffy and ethereal and complemented her classic strapless A-line gown perfectly. The bridesmaid’s carried matching, smaller bouquets featuring only hydrangeas and next to their pale blue dresses, they looked like beautiful floral clouds. For Perry’s boutonniere we designed with a single white gardenia bloom and his groomsmen’s featuring white ranunculus.
Toffee Rose and Dried Flower Wedding at Chapel on the Creeks
Something I love observing is how neutral wedding flowers evolve over the years. There’s everlasting white and green for sure, but other more neutral colors trend in and out of fashion. This year, a toffee/cappucino colored rose is becoming popular and I love it for any time of year. For Karah and Jordan’s wedding at Chapel on The Creeks, they wanted toffee roses with dried floral accents and I couldn’t wait to get designing!
Luxe Pink and Peach Wedding in Eureka Springs
When Sherry and Jerry came to me to design their wedding at Eureka Springs beautiful Thorncrown Chapel, I was beyond excited. They are both architects so they wanted their wedding flowers to complement the stunning beauty of the E. Fay Jones designed marvel. To learn a little more about how these two architects fell in love, check out our feature on Wedding Chicks! Now let’s dig a little deeper into the floral details…
Garden Countryside Wedding at Stone Chapel at MattLane Farm
For Andrea and Cole’s wedding at the lovely Stone Chapel at MattLane Farm, they envisioned a Garden Countryside. Think European Garden meets NWA in the best way. The colors were whites and soft blues; and Andrea wanted small and delicate flowers for that natural, wild feeling.
Sweet Blush and Cream Wedding at Stone Chapel at MattLane Farm
In the past few months, I’ve increasingly been receiving more requests for cascading bouquets. A cascading bouquet is a design containing a mass of flowers that are arranged to trail to a narrow end. After years of hand-tied bouquets, these designs are gaining popularity because of the amount of artistry involved so I was stoked when Alisa wanted a cascading bouquet for her and Harrison’s big day at Stone Chapel at MattLane Farm.
Deep Sunset Wedding at The Ravington
More and more I’ve been getting requests for a color palette I call sunset. Now sunsets can vary a lot; from oranges and purples to blushes and marigolds, so this palette is perfect for the marrier who wants multi-color, but with a focus. For Jordan and Ron’s wedding at The Ravington, we created a deep sunset featuring the dusk-like colors of orange, peach, and magenta.
