Cranberry Wedding: The Bride...

When it comes to weddings.. I love the creative and non-traditional. This ring is so sweet and it won't set you off on a wrong foot financially. It's from Neta-Jewelry 
I would take the green elements out of this and add white stock, and add pink spray roses in place of the dusty pink flower. ..but I love the ribbon.. Then with the little addition of spray roses in the bouquet, you could set little pots of them around in white whicker in the summer or something gold or sparkly in the winter.

I'm in love with this vintage 1930's dress from Mill Crest Vintage but, this isn't a great photo. You have to pop over to the site and see this amazing fabric close up.. some of the prettiest fabric I've ever seen.

Shy Violet Wedding: The Flowers...

You may think that the tiny violet is too small to be a wedding flower. But, it's not. There are many things you can do so that the tiny little violet won't be lost on the table. You could put them under a glass dome like this one. You could group them together in a basket. You could (and I have) grouped them together in a glass bowl (inexpensive) and tie a lovely ribbon around the bowl. This lovely ribbon is...

... a lovely double faced satin 1/5 wide from GriffithGardens Put the little violets on a lift or next framed photo or beautiful quote. Violets are very delicate and pretty .. they don't be ruled out just because they're short. Image by Dee A. Nash from RedDirtRamblings

ShantiyarnandKnits will ship live violets to you 10 plants at a time for $2.75 each.. can't beat that for wedding flowers. AND, when the wedding is over.. you can pass them out to the wedding party as favors plus have a few to decorate your new apartment.

Western Wedding: The Flowers & Decor

I love this idea for a red bouquet with a little brown mixed in.. then Turquoise ribbon to wrap it up... I'm sorry I misplaced the source on this bouquet. :(

I love the ideas that I saw at MarryYouMe (really click over and see them), but there are a million ways to go with it. You can decoupage the cans... I love this red rose paper and I would also have a turqoise ribbon because that's just me.

I think hanging punched tin cans would be beautiful too with tea lights inside. This image is from WildRoseReader

I also liked several of the fun signs available from RumpelStreetBoutique

Indian Serenade: The Flowers & my brilliant idea..

Most weddings that I attend, the brides use real flowers rather than silk. And often, they save the bouquet and dry it. Most of us, my grandmother excluded, aren't that good at it. So we have this old dried up Miss Havisham thing... what about finding a florist that works in silk instead and have them make a copy of your bouquet in silk. You can bring it out every year on your anniversary.. and no one will have a single thought of Miss Havisham... I love the colors in this bouquet from BeholdenBridal HERE...

My Fair Lady Blue: The Flowers...

This bouquet has many of my favorite flowers. I love it. By Abigail Seymour Photography and originally posted on TheKnot.com, this bouquet would smell heavenly!

I love the idea of these small bouquets for flower girls and something similar, but larger for bridesmaids. Hydrangeas are a wonderful way to go for a wedding. They are a lot of flower for not a lot of money. photo from w-weddingflowers.com
One trend I love is when vintage pins are added to the ribbon that ties the bouquet. It's so pretty to have a little sparkle. It can be your something old or borrowed from a grandmother or mother. Or you can purchase some pins new and add them to the bouquets of your bridesmaids as a special token of the day. This lovely pin is from Vintage4Vintage on Etsy.

This wedding is the perfect time to break out the silver or get a loan of it from great Aunt Thelma. Heavenly Blue Hydrangea is stunning with silver. Image from Natural Decorations...

Wedding in Tuscany: The Flowers...

To me this bouquet is the epitome of Tuscan charm... but it's not from Italy at all, but was grown just outside the concrete jungle of Washington D.C. by an organic home gardener.
I love Cornflowers... a bunch of these might be tied up for the bridal bouquet or a combination of the flowers above. I love flowers from the garden.

Late Summer Picnic Wedding: The Flowers...

Do you know what flowers are blooming in August? Asters! I love pink Asters and if you plant them early enough, you can have garden flowers for your picnic wedding in late August. These flowers are delicate and frilly, but with a great hot pink color and a cheerful yellow center.

Fields of Gold Wedding: The Flowers...

I couldn't really find a bouquet that is what I had in my mind for this wedding. I like the idea of this one, but it needs a little wheat.. ditch the purple and add a pale blue ribbon.. and we're there. :) Image from w-weddingflowers.com

And, these are beautiful, but they need a pale blue ribbon as well...



Yep.. blue ribbon. :) Image from TheKnot.com
