Inspiration vs Reproduction: Revisited

Back in August, we talked about inspiration vs reproduction, and since then we have had even more brides come to us already knowing what they want their bouquet to look like. However, most of these brides were only inspired by what they saw. They were not looking for us to recreate the same bouquet, but wanted us to take their idea and put a spin on it to make it their own!

Our top three inspiration vs reality bouquets are below. Please notice how each one has little details that the original did not have. Some changes were made because of the bride's budget, some were because a flower was out of season or the bride didn't like the flower, but most were because the bride wanted something that was her very own. Something that she could look back on and be happy knowing that her personality was captured.

Inspiration (left) used softer blues and greens, but our reproduction (right) used bolder blues and greens to give the bouquet an added pop. We also placed a small blue butterfly in the bouquet for the bride.

Inspiration (top) used a variety of flowers to give extra texture and dimension, but our bride wanted her reproduction (bottom) to be softer with pops of bold color coming from Freespirit Roses to give dimension.

Inspiration (left) used soft pinks and purples to add contrast to the golds and yellows, but our bride requested her reproduction (right) to have no pinks and purples. To reflect the fall season and add extra texture we used Yarrow in place of the berries.

We hope that you have enjoy looking through our inspirations vs reproductions, and find your own inspiration to turn into a symbol of your personality!

Enjoy! And don't forget to check us out on Pinterest! You can see all of the things we are working on and have been inspired by!

True Love Tuesday: Breanna & Clint - May 26

May has been a month for Yellow! Breanna came to us wanting yellow and grey, but she wanted to add something a little off-beat to her boutonnieres and corsages. The solution: Felt leaves. And, instead of the traditional flower for the groom and groomsman, she wanted to use Billy Balls. (A personal favorite this season.)

The mix of warm yellows and soft grey in this wedding created a look special for this couple, and something fun for us, too!

For the dads we used a simple yellow Ranunculus, baby's breath, Dusty Miller, and a grey felt leaf. 

Each corsage was made special for each mother and grandmother.  The mother's wore wrist corsages made of a Spider Mum and Dahlia connected to a pearl bracelet. And the grandmother's pin-on corsages with Daisies, Billy Balls, and baby's breath. Each one included the grey felt leaves.

The Bride's bouquet was a mixture of Gerber Daisies, Garden Roses, Stephanotis, Billy Balls, Dusty Miller and baby's breath.
