Fleurtations Floral

I suggest to Brides that they bring me something “old and of sentimental value” to incorporate into their bouquet.  Here are a few examples.

The Bride (above) brought me some of the vintage ribbon from her mother’s bridal bouquet.  It was a pink satin acetate ribbon that had a few crinkles in it but nevertheless, sentimental.  She did not care how it was used in the bouquet, just so it was in there somewhere for “something old”.   So, I used it at the base of the handle  as an accent color peeking out from behind the  pearl trim.

This Bride brought a beautiful gold cross that was given to her by her fiance when they first started dating.  It was a fabulous addition to her bouquet.

If you look closely at this handle you can see a lace flower.  This was part of the Bride’s mother’s wedding dress.  Yes, we cut the wedding dress!  The Bride brought me her mother’s dress because she was too afraid to make the first cut.  So, I did the deed!  I used different parts of the lace and trim on the handles of all her wedding bouquets.  It added a very sweet and nostalgic touch.
