Bride's Bouquet Inspiration
"Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!" --Luke 12:27-28
"Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the young women." --Song of Solomon 2:2
I'm carrying lilies. That was decided forever ago; they remind me of God's love for us and they are the most beautiful-looking and -smelling flowers imaginable. I don't want anything so chaotic as the third picture; I'd like something lovely but simple, backed with greenery so the lilies are discernible. My florist is also going to include cream spray roses and alstroemeria.
Bridesmaids' Bouquets
Saw it. Loved it. The ladies are carrying bundles of million star baby's breath. J'ADORE. They'll probably have a cream ribbon to match the sashes on the dresses.
I've lost the links to the website I got all my baby's breath pictures from, but Google will give you a lot of great ideas if you search for "baby's breath wedding." I've seen boutonnieres, centerpieces, banners, head wreaths... all made with about the cheapest floral substance on the market-- and it looks beautiful!

Boutonnieres and Corsages
Using alstroemeria was my florist's idea. I didn't want roses (they seem kind of stuffy and boring to me) but I knew that many flowers are too delicate to survive being a boutonniere for several hours. One of my ideas was to have them made with daisies (definitely whimsical enough), but they didn't quite match the delicacy of the other flowers in the wedding. I'm so glad my florist suggested these! And very excited about them.
