The natural look of this bouquet lends itself perfectly to a sophisticated country wedding. I love the blend of red, orange, pink, and white roses. The look is slightly unrestrained, yet elegant.

Ring Around the Rosies
I made this beautiful rose bouquet with all fresh garden roses. I love the full, ripe look of a natural rose cut straight from the garden. The smell of such roses is incredible, and floral shop roses are definitely no rival to the scent of roses cut from fresh earth and air.

Bite-size Bouquets
These tasty morsels are examples of one of the newest trends in bouquet designs: itty-bitty bouquets. What was once a size appropriate for a bridesmaid is becoming the bride's new favorite.
Smaller bouquets are gaining ground as a budget-friendly choice in our economic landslide. Less flowers equals a less expensive bouquet. That doesn't mean a bouquet with less aesthetic appeal, however. Like the bouquets I created here, mini-mite bouquets utilize one or two stems of a very bold, bright flower to create a look with just as much bang as a big bouquet.
Besides, who wants to carry 10 lbs of dead weight on their arm all day anyway?

Peachy Keen Round #3
This was my favorite of the three bouquet designs I created with my peach roses. I also got my favorite flower shot ever (thanks also to my brother's suggestion for my new, awesome corrugated metal background).
I tucked gorgeous plum-touched white orchids between the roses, and the outcome was honestly far more stunning than I even expected.

Peachy Keen Round #2
In this design, I played up the peach with fluffy pink stems from my mom's xeriscape garden. The design lent itself to a soft, romantic, traditional style, so I paired it with a matching small centerpiece, ideal for a traditional summer wedding.
Peachy Keen Round #1
I bought these delicious peach roses the other day and just had to try out a few different bouquet styles with them. I love the way the yellow petal unfolds to reveal the peachy-pink inside.
This is the first of my three peach-licious designs, where I paired the roses with soft, white peonies in a beadimir (layered) style:

Big, Bold Blooms
This bouquet is made almost entirely of large, bright blooms for a look that can't be ignored. Mixing a variety of flower colors and types, I created a bouquet full of jewel-tones and dynamic texture.
Updated Photos Coming Soon...
My flower photos consistently upload to my site with washed-out colors. I'm working on fixing this, and new, bolder, brighter photos will be up soon!
