Posh Flower Girl Purses

Karen — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 17:36:36 +0000

Remember those times when you were a little girl and would try on your mother’s clothes? I’d feel instant glamour as soon as I donned my mom’s oversized clip-on earrings and swung around her purses. Here are some flower girl purses that we made recently for a luxurious wedding. Seeing her daughters prance around feeling like grown ups made me think about those days of playing ‘dress up’. Being a sucker for Chanel, I had to incorporate quilted white leather to these chic little numbers. Vanda orchids, crystals, and burnt ostrich feathers make me swoon every time… ~Aileen

Mod Orange Tassel Bouquet

Karen — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 14:00:04 +0000

I have a confession to make: I have a tassel fetish. Perhaps it began after a wedding at the Parker Palm Springs, where I saw tons of swanky tassel lampshades. Or maybe this obsession started at a party under a tassel adorned Moroccan Raj tent. Since then, I’ve been salivating at the sight of them. Now that ranunculus season is coming to an end, I had to pay homage and incorporate them into this mod and retro inspired bouquet. Clean lined calla lilies and red aloe flowers are offset by a vibrant orange tassel embellishing the handle. Thank you JStemmer Photography for the fantastic photos!

Edgy Orange Bouquet

I’ve yet to come across someone that doesn’t love ranunculus. Whats not to love about these ruffled beauties? These vibrant orange tulips give this abstract bouquet the right about of pop, while geometric yellow protea perfectly compliment the edges of its petals. Thank you ladies of Sunday Romance for the stunning photos! ~Aileen

Purple Vanda Bouquets

One hot color that makes it to the top of my list every year is purple. With floral blooms ranging from lavender to eggplant, purple can be used in a modern and edgy wedding, as well as something more vintage and romantic. Vanda, a stunning exotic orchid, was the focal point for each of these bouquets, along with richly colored lilac, plum calla lilies, aubergine parrot tulips, and chartreuse cymbidium orchids. ~Aileen

Apricot Spring Bouquet

Karen — Mon, 02 May 2011 14:00:01 +0000

Growing up, we had an amazing apricot tree. My favorite memory was picking off juicy nuggets and devouring baskets full of them. A sun-drenched apricot toned bouquet like makes me anxious for summer weddings. Doesn’t this just perfectly match this bridesmaid’s anthropologie dress? ~Aileen

Who said that cascading bouquets are old fashioned? Violet bearded irises, black parrot tulips, and chartreuse orchids form an edgy and dramatic bouquet. Trailing black crystals and lace make this sexy number all the more posh. ~Aileen

Purple Haze Bouquet

Here’s a bouquet that really gets my juices flowing! Dark purple anemone intermingle with amnesia roses and calla lilies. The contrast of green Brazilian berries, purple kale, succulents, and a wisp of hanging amaranthus take this bouquet to a whole other dimension. ~Aileen

It’s no surprise that Spring is my favorite season for flowers. But with blooms like eye popping tulips, delicate sweet pea, and gorgeous lisianthus, can you blame me? Here is a tour de force of purple in a wild, yet romantically fashioned bouquet. ~ Aileen Tran

Bouquet Monday: White and Orange Bouquet

Vibrant orange ranunculus, white tulips, and orchids are blended together like a refreshing Orange Julius. Refreshing hints of flame calla lilies and roses give texture and color to this delectable bouquet. And my new favorite accent? A chic frog enclosure to grace the handle.
