You've meticulously planned every aspect of your big day - from the venue to the menu, DJ to dress. But there's one crucial detail that often gets overlooked until the last minute: your wedding bouquet.
And that's a huge missed opportunity! Your bouquet is essentially the centerpiece that ties your entire look together. It's what you'll be clutching in all those portraits, the gentle hue or vibrant pop of color that stands out against your white gown. A hasty, ill-planned bouquet can completely clash with your venue's vibe or underwhelm in those up-close detail shots you've been dreaming of.

How to Choose Between Classic and Contemporary Choosing the perfect floral look for your wedding is about balancing tradition and modern style. Classic bouquets have an elegant, timeless charm. But contemporary arrangements offer a fresh, bold twist on bridal flowers.
As you decide between these floral designs, understanding the key differences is important. Your bouquet should match your unique vision and personality. So think about your bridal style - are you a romantic person who loves tradition? Or are you a trendsetter who wants to break the rules?
Whichever floral design you choose, it will set the tone for a wedding that truly feels like "you."

That's why we always work with in-season, locally sourced stems that are fresh, vibrant, and built to last through your final twirl around the dance floor.
Flower Power: Reflecting Your Personality in Petals At the end of the day, your bouquet should be a reflection of your unique style and personality as a couple. Are you bubbly romantics totally here for garden rose glamor?
Maybe you're more of the minimalist cool kids, drawn to anthuriums and succulents. Whoever you are, let those beautiful blooms make a statement about you!
Blending the Best of Both Worlds For the bride torn between classic floral designs and contemporary arrangements, the solution is blending the best of both styles.
Artfully combining elements from each creates a hybrid bouquet. This marries cherished tradition with modern flair. It's a delicate balance of old and new.
Embracing a hybrid design lets you honor bridal history while showcasing your personal style. You'll walk down the aisle with a one-of-a-kind bouquet - as captivating as your love story.
The Best of Both: Where Classic Meets Contemporary Of course, there's no need to rigidly pick one bouquet lane. Plenty of brides slay with styles that strike the perfect balance between timeless romance and modern edginess.
A lush peony bouquet could get a trendy twist with sleek tropical leaves or brilliantly colored accents. The mash-up possibilities are endless!
Hybrid Bouquets: Because Decisions are Hard Not feeling boxed into one style? Go for a hybrid bouquet that gives you the best of both worlds. We're talking lush garden roses meet sculptural succulents, crisp white orchids with bold pink pops of king protea, or cascading trailing greenery with perfect peonies.
A little traditional, a little contemporary - all parts totally gorgeous.
