Cranberry Red and White, Creating a Classic Bouquet

Today I delivered this beatiful bouquet to Bexley, Ohio... composed of deep red gerbera daisies with white roses to create a very romantic, classic look.  I used an amazing large white rose called Rose 'Proud' which stood up nicely to the very large deep red gerbera daisies.  From my garden, I collected cone flowers and removed the petals from them to show off the spiky texture of the cones for accents.  Italian ruscus, one of my favorite foliages, was added for a touch of green. 

Up-close and personal... here's a good look at the flower selections used in the bride's bouquet.  I loved the added twist created by the coneflower heads.  Using these suddenly turned this bouquet into something unique and out-of-the-ordinary!

Bold Blue and Silver Bouquets... these rocked!

Showing off Christy's deep marine-blue and silver wedding colors in her flowers was our priority when selecting the types of flowers to be used in this beautiful July wedding.  Bridesmaids wore marine-blue dresses, so we used white roses and white spray roses for a contrast, with pops of deep blue eryngium (aka sea holly) and dendobiums, as well as silver painted eryngium circling the base of each bouquet next to the silver satin ribbon.  The texture and color of the deep blue sea holly up against the white roses were amazing!
