Bella Collina: Jackie and Brooks

We were honored to be a part of Jackie and Brooks’ gorgeous wedding celebration held at the storybook locale of Bella Collina. With Blush by Brandee Gaar in attendance to make sure every detail was perfect for the couple’s day and Lora Rodgers Photography capturing timeless memories, the newlyweds were stress-free and ready to enjoy their wedding day.

Lauren’s bridal look was classic elegance, so we chose lavender and deep plum floral accents, including white and purple Picasso calla lilies, for her bridal bouquet. Her bridesmaids had complementing white floral bouquets with accents of greenery with matching boutonnieres for the gentlemen. Their flower girl and ring bearer had their very own floral accents with a white rose bouquet for their lovely princess and a white rose boutonniere for their sweet prince.

Their reception was elegantly decorated with rustic touches from our greenery surrounding lanterns to the soft white linens provided by Kirby Rentals. As day turned to night, Jackie and Brooks shared their first dance to Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud,” provided by Soundwave Entertainment. For dessert, Two Sweets Bake Shop had a variety of delicious treats from cupcakes to bread pudding for them to enjoy, along with a small wedding cake with white, pink and purple floral accents for the couple to share from Party Flavors Custom Cakes.

Jackie and Brooks had an unforgettable wedding, one that we are overjoyed to have been a part of. Congratulations! The team of professionals that brought their dream celebration to life are:

Hot Monochromatic Bouquets in Every Color

When it comes to bouquets, we’ve seen and done it all. While we love creating bouquets that incorporate several different colors, monochromatic (or nearly monochromatic) bouquets can make a huge impact, especially against a white dress! We’ve gathered some of our favorite bouquets in each color of the rainbow for you to enjoy.

 

RED

Ah, the color of passion and romance! Red is a classic color for wedding floral, but usually isn’t used as intensely as the bridal bouquets seen here. Whether it’s a vivid, fire-engine red or a deeper shade, a red bouquet is bold.

ORANGE

Orange is definitely gaining momentum as a hot wedding color! Usually, we have requests for softer shades of the orange spectrum: peach, coral, sherbet. We love how different these two bouquets are from each other: one completely monochromatic and using all one type of flower, the other showing a variation of shades of orange and different textures.

YELLOW

Bright and sunny, yellow is especially great for a spring wedding. It feels youthful and fresh! The color can range from creamy butter yellow to rich sunshine. A large variety of flowers are yellow, too!

GREEN

One of the trickier colors for a bouquet is green…or so you would think! In addition to naturally green flowers (like hydrangeas or the orchids seen below), we also have used interesting greenery and even seed pods to create stunning bouquets.

BLUE

Of all the colors of the rainbow, blue has the most limitations for floral design. While there are other flowers that are blue (orchids and irises come to mind), blue hydrangeas are a popular request for weddings.

PURPLE

One of the most fun colors to play with in bouquets is purple! Depending on the shade, purple can be regal or demure, sophisticated or playful. These bouquets, below, both feature a variety of purples, from lilac to plum.

PINK

Okay…pink isn’t technically a primary or tertiary color. How could we not include pink, though, on this list?! Pink is so popular for weddings. Soft blush pink is definitely trending at the moment (and has been), but we also love the bright fuchsia, cotton candy, and bubble gum shades of these bouquets!
