Best of 2016: Bouquets
December 21, 2016 Tabitha

A wedding bouquet, whether for the bride or bridesmaids are one of our favorite pieces of any wedding. They come in a range of sizes, textures, colors, and styles and we just love them all! From tightly formed all white peony bouquets to wild asymmetrical locally source dahlia bouquets, we believe that this is one area to anchor the design and look of your wedding flowers. We have rounded up our favorite bouquets from this last year, and make sure to check out each wedding for their complimenting floral centerpieces and decor!

Salamander Resort Virginia Wedding by Katelyn James Photography

We are living for this phalaenopsis orchid bouquet by Lavender Green. The vibrant pink toned orchid flowers created an asymmetrical modern yet elegant bouquet that really popped in bridal party photos!

We expect nothing less than a textured stunner when this local DC florist got married last year. Jo, from Highway to Hill, wowed us with a bouquet stuffed full of sweetheart roses, stock, peony, antique roses, and lisanthus!

We are so fortunate to have one of the best local dahlia farms here in Virginia, which is why we adore Tracey’s burgundy and coral bouquet so much. Sourcing her dinner plate dahlias from a local farm, Shelly of B. Floral Designs created one of our favorite fall bouquets!

Hotel Monaco DC Wedding by Birds of a Feather Photography

A big trend in 2016 has been the use of cascading and asymmetrical bouquets, which is why we love this bridal bouquet from Wild Green Yonder. Bright pink ranunculus punched against the cafe au lait dahlias, and dusty miller to make a sweet yet saucy color combo.

Wild jasmine vines and ferns made a simple all white textured bouquet by Studio DBI into a bohemian delight that paired perfectly with Kali’s embroidered sheath.

Silver Swan Bayside Nautical Wedding by Sam Stroud Photography

Cheery, bright, and full of texture, we love the reimagined version of nautical in these bouquets from Kim Newton Weddings. Pairing bright yellow ranunculus and stock with green hydrangea, the colors popped against the subtle tones of the bride’s gown.

Mic drop. This bouquet by Petals by the Shore needs no explanation.

Tropical Meridian House Wedding from Ash Imagery

Bouquets don’t need to be all flowers; instead, take a cue from Petals Edge and create a tropical oasis out of fern, palm leaves, and hanging amaranthus for a truly unique look.

Modern Arena Stage DC Wedding by Astrid Photography

For this modern Arena Stage wedding, Loda Floral Design created a sleek all white bouquet of hydrangea and orchids to tie back into the contemporary feel of the event. In the case of modern and glam wedding styles, clean sleek bouquet shapes are the perfect pairing to create a dynamic statement.
