A Classic Touch in a Modern Way: Here is a bouquet I did last April for an Irish Catholic Bride who wanted to combine classic elements without seeming dated in doing so. This to me was the perfect compromise- the bouquet in the front was the bride's and we used gorgeous antique hydrangeas (if you can believe it there are only 2 in the whole bouquet) with beautiful white akito rose buds (though I typically like to use more open roses for a grander effect in bouquets I do think that the sweetness of rose buds can be really simple and beautiful) and a ring of babies breath to frame it- though most modern minded brides would shudder at the thought of using babies breath in their bouquet the fact is up until the great turn over of the wedding craze boom (circa 1985- preasent day) most brides were given a standard rose bouquet featuring some babies breath mixed in (sigh- I know my mother was one of those brides as well) and in attempt to give a little nostalgic through back to either a grandmother or mother's wedding bouquet it can be a nice touch to add in with yours, and with this grouping or "layering" method it gives this classic flower a modern twist! |
