Sumptuous Sprays and Glamorous Bouquets

Author: Laurie Snyder

If your wedding style is sophisticated glamour, you won’t want to skimp on the floral front. Fortunately, there are several ways to extend the elegance of your event to the bouquets.

All white bouquets are especially alluring. Mix it up with stephanotis, freesia, lilies, a variety of orchids and some trailing ivy for a bit of color. Add some white English roses and wrap your bridal bouquet in material left over from your dress alterations. A strand or two of hanging crystals will catch the light as you process down the aisle.

Your attendants can carry smaller versions of your bouquet, or, for a less fussy look, have each carry a single flower from your bouquet. The result – a unified, sleek and glamorous look.

For a splash of color, take a hint from your attendant’s dresses. Stick with a monochromatic palette or variations on a theme. A mix of orchids in burgundy and deep red combined with wine colored mini calla lilies is a sophisticated contrast to your bouquet.

Contemporary brides are increasingly going glam, with florals leading the way.
