The Bridal Party

For this wedding, the bride requested flowers from a local grower be used as much as possible. I went through Green Trail Farm, in LaPorte, Indiana. We were not disappointed, the flowers were beautiful!

The idea was to go with a Midwest Meets the Tropics feel. The non-local flowers were orchids, roses and a few lilies. The rest were local.

The bridal bouquet consisted of cream hydrangeas, dahlias, roses, cosmos and orchids. I added touches of white limonium and snow on the mountain for accents.

The bridesmaid's bouquets consisted of pink, hot pink, and white cosmos. Cosmos are a little difficult to work with, they are very fragile and have floppy stems. By packing the nosegay full of stems I was able achieve a nice round, full look. They were so much fun to make!
