Form Free Bouquets

Sometimes a tightly wired Posy or a crafted Nosegay just doesn’t cut it when it comes to choosing a stylish bridal bouquet. More and more brides today are opting for a more relaxed and unstructured style of floristry. They might look like Aunt Millie chucked them together the night before the wedding, but rather each is a carefully crafted asymetrical arrangement that pulls off that freshly-plucked appearance. The bouquet is an effortless example of what we try to do when we get dressed every morning… Look sharp and well put together, but without looking as if we are trying to look sharp and well put together.
This style of bouquet also gives you the perfect opportunity to introduce foliage, greenery or other interesting visual and textural elements rather than solely relying on flowers. Combine large open Magnolias with Dahlias, Freesias and throw in a little native Eucalyptus foliage to complete the look. Or try unique Grasses, Seeds or Berries to accent the dramatic and elegant Phalaenopsis blooms you have chosen.
Each of the examples above are instinctively chic regardless of the colour palette. Keep it neutral with a casual and understated mix of Whites, Creams and Caramels or add a splash of vibrant Ruby Red or dramatic Amber to steal the lime light. But no matter what your colour combo may be, a stylish Free Form Bouquet will make you look sharp and well put together… and your guests wont have a clue! ♥
