Simply Stunning!

I always love to see gorgeous floral displays and truly appreciate when I see all of the artistic designs that can be created using fresh floral, textured foliages, whispy branches and other select natural elements. I stumbled across these gorgeous creations today while visiting Michelle Rago's blog and absolutely had to share them here. All of these designs are created with towering Manzanita branches as the main structure and focal point and are all fabulously adorned with stunning floral designed in meticulous paves, clusters and gorgeous strands draped within the majestic branches. I just love this look and feel like it creates a truly dramatic appeal within any event.

Manaznita branches sprayed painted matte black draped with gorgeous strands of hyacinth blossoms and collared at the base with fragrant pink hyacinths and lush pink peony blooms.

Soft blue spray painted Manzanita branches embellished with groupings of coral charm peonies and collared at the base with both pink and coral peonies.

Manzanita branches festooned with striking white Phaleanopsis orchids.

Sassy Spring Weddings!

It's the first day of spring and I thought it would be fitting to post some lovely wedding boards that all seem to exude all of the wonderful things that spring has to offer. Vibrant, flirty color palettes, sweet treats, lots of fun textures and elements and of course, gorgeous spring floral blossoms!

Blushing Bouquets

Take a peek at these incredibly stunning bridal bouquets. Aren't they absolutely gorgeous!?!? I completely love all of the highly textured floral elements used within each design.

This first hand tied bouquet features exquisite floral blossoms including over-sized roses, textured scabiosas and delicate tulips in varying shades of pink accented with select groupings of fragrant white tuberose and hanging amaranthus which exudes an overly romantic garden inspired appeal.

This second striking bouquet is an exotic mix of varying orchid varieties including phalaenopsis and miltonia orchids in brilliant shades of vibrant yellow and deep violet tones that lend an elegant, yet fresh and modern appeal for the contemporary.

Lastly, this third showcased bouquet is a sun-kissed bundle of pristine floral blooms including lush pink garden roses, vivid orange and buttery yellow toned dahlias, hanging millet and coral drops for a wonderfully textured and slightly tropical inspired look. I absolutely love all three of these delightful bouquets and think that any of them would be the perfect accent for any bride walking down the aisle.
