Wedding :: WEDNESDAY :: Summer Bouquets

I'm your typical girl who likes flowers. In fact, I'll go as far as to say that I love them. But I do have to admit that I am a bit of a snob. It's not that I don't enjoy these flowers, but there are just some that are over used (ie: red roses, gerbera daisies, and any un-naturally colored flowers).

So now that summer has un-offically begun, here are some wedding bouquet collages, organized by color, to inspire {summer wedding bouquets}: pink & purple, yellow & orange, blue & green, and white.

{Pink & Purple}

I adore peonies, especially dark pink! Calla lilies are so classic, so in pink they're classic and fun. Check out the bottom right picture...those are paper flowers. Awesome!

{Yellow & Orange}

I love sunflowers...not just because they're my home state's state flower, but they make a bold statement. I find orange a hard color to pull off, since it typically seems to be a very "in your face" color, but these are sophisticated arrangements making orange look fabulous.

{Blue & Green}

Along with peonies, I also adore hydrangeas; they make a great filler and have a classic look with a whymsical touch. Green is currently my favorite color, so I love these arrangements with cymbidium orchids, hydrangeas (again!), fillers, leaves, etc.

{White}

White. It's classic, delicate, pure, and looks neat and fresh. Although I'm not a big fan of roses, I love the tight bound bouquets. Calla lilies, orchids, anemones, and peonies (I know, imagine that!) look fantastic! Whether a white bouque to match the bride's dress or white bouquet against a bride maid's dress of a high contrast color (check out the white flowers against the pink dresses).
