These bouquets were from a wedding we did not too long ago. The reception was white, brown, and gold with hints of green. These bouquets are a combination of my favorite green flowers: hydrangea, cymbidium orchids, and viburnum. But what stands out for me are the green phaleonopsis orchids, which gently hover above and give these [...]

Bouquet Monday by Aileen: A little bit country….
November 2, 2009 – 7:00 am
I was so excited by the leather bouquet the other week that I couldn’t resist using it again. While the other was a bit modern, I decided to make this more rustic. To enliven the neutral colors of the leather, I used beautiful orange coral roses. Contrasting the roses are green sedum, which gives it [...]

Bouquet Monday by Aileen: Vintage elegance
October 26, 2009 – 7:00 am
Roses have such an elegant and romantic appeal. It’s a classic flower that I never get tired of.

The white spray roses remind me of an old english garden, but my favorites are the ‘sahara [...]
Pink and raspberry color inspiration
October 21, 2009 – 6:00 am
I never get tired of the color pink. Can that be possible for a girl? A combination of both light and hot pink is great for anyone who wants the classic color, but with some extra “oomph.” This wedding was a lot of fun with the addition of raspberry, which complimented the bridesmaid”s dresses very [...]

While shopping the other day, I saw this crocodile wallet that was to die for! I knew I had to use it in a bouquet somehow. These fuchsia calla lilies go well with the sleek look of the leather. Purple tones and brown are one of my favorite color combinations. I adorned the handle with purple [...]

Bouquet Monday by Aileen: Blush pink cymbidium orchids
October 12, 2009 – 7:00 am
I adore cymbidium orchids, especially these beauties. They have a hint of pink, and when paired with Candy Bianca roses, the color is amplified even more. I finished it with a matching pink ribbon to bring out the subtle hues. The shades of pink make this bouquet so delicate and feminine.

October 5, 2009 – 7:00 am
This bouquet was from a wedding not too long ago. Aileen incorporated white lady’s slippers with blush colored cymbidium orchids, giving it creamy tones. The gardenias and spray roses add different textural elements. I love the wavy lines of the orchids, fluttering in the bouquet.
