Every few weeks I’ll show you a wedding dress and suggest a bridal flowers that would complement it. The wedding dress is often the starting point for bridal flowers and your bridal bouquet. Your dress shows a lot of about your style and personality and your wedding flowers will also reflect this. The shape, style, colour and fabric determine which bouquets would be suitable.
This week I’ve have picked a beautiful Sharon Bowen dress. Sharon is well known designer based at studios in Congleton, Cheshire. Her collections are available in bridal shops throughout the UK. This dress Pink Champagne is from her Romantics collection.
The flowing line of the skirt suits a teardrop shaped bouquet. The delicate layers of sheer fabric are ruched at the waist and give a vintage feel to the dress. I have chosen a simple teardrop bouquet in creams and peachy pink which are fairly traditional colours. Although the flowers are grouped in a contemporary design with modern touches such as the calla lilies circled round the bouquet. The roses, calla lilies and anemones are in warm colours which enhance the romantic champagne tones of the dress.
Staying with the theme of vintage romance. For the other wedding flowers I would suggest simple arrangements using shades of apricots and pale pink and peach roses with cream callas lilies. Perhaps elegant bridesmaid’s bouquets using a few large callas lilies kept long and bound with organza down the stems. For the ceremony and reception tables, candelabras flowing with loose arrangements of roses and ivy. In the other designs such pedestal arrangements and the top table arrangement, other flowers could be incorporated in soft muted tones.
