Designer's favorites

One of the fun things about the Bridal Extravaganza is that as designers, we get to choose all the flowers and components--challenging but fun!

Here are some of the designer's favorites--the top with the orange, shades of yellow and the narcissus, just made me happy!

Alot of fun, small components-no roses--not too mention we love the craspedia AKA billy balls!

This is the type of look that goes great with all the vintage styling we are seeing right now!

Then the simplest of simple, but gorgeous! I love the finish on the stems- I did this treatment for a gardenia bouquet this summer and absolutely loved it! Nothing says Texas, like yellow roses!

Another bouquet full of fun components, and orange! I've mentioned before that we love orange flowers, every last one of them! I love the silver dusty miller for just a hint of silver--I can see this with any shade of platinum or silver gowns! Yeah for metallics.

Tomorrow, I'll show the most popular one from the brides point of view!

Purple is popular!

I'll be posting our recap of the Bridal Extravaganza along with photos of the bouquets over the next couple of days/weeks! In the meantime, let me just say--purple is popular!!

These lovely ladies appeared in one of my recent fall weddings!

There are a few more images over at DCM photography--Dave was the second shooter for Bonnie Berry, she has a few up on her blog also--I just haven't had the time to contact her for the images!

Turquoise in 2009!

This was one of our recent weddings--this bride did a fantastic job styling this entire event(with the help of Aimee from Lizzie Belle events). This is a very effective use of turquoise!

All of the elements were thoughtfully presented-- a few feathers- a few balloons, a few paper poms,

Really gorgeous!

This wedding was photographed by The Nichols and recently featured over on the Greenweddingshoes blog!

Turquoise-color of the year 2010

Pantone has named Turquoise the color of the year for 2010.

It has alot of variations, when selecting wedding colors make sure to get swatches, either ribbon,paint cards,fabric or paper samples. Although there are no flowers in turquoise- it can be incorporated in many other ways. I can't wait to see what our brides come up with--lets look at turquoise together!

Looking forward to watch him grow up!
