Editor Kim Forrest of Brides New Jersey Magazine asked us to share one of our favorite bouquet-and-boutonniere pairings from 2009 - "What was your inspiration for the pairing, and why do the flowers go together?"
Here's how we responded to Kim's design question:
"The bridal bouquet was designed to satisfy a formal and upscale "Fun and Fresh" look that also featured yellow as the dominant color. To these ends, we combined white mini callas and white cymbidium orchids (upscale) with stunning yellow spray roses and freesias (a fun amped-up version of yellow), hand-tied with double-faced ivory ribbon, accented with two small pearl pins (classic and formal). The exposed lengths of green stems anchored the bright yellow and repeated the touch of green appearing in the freesia inflorescences and rose sepals."
"The second photo is the matching boutonniere- equally clean and uncomplicated, allowing a single perfect white cymbidium orchid to be the sole focus of attention. This impeccable orchid was one type of flower used in the bridal bouquet, and this variety has a subtle touch of yellow on the throat to tie in with the bride's favorite color. A straightforward black ribbon treatment matched the black tuxedo lapel, and once again did not distract from the power of the simplicity that is a perfect bloom."
