This past weekend we had the pleasure of attending a celebration in honor of my sister-in-law and brother-in-law's 15Th wedding anniversary. I had the distinct pleasure of creating four sweet little bouquets for each of their daughters to hold as they stood, along with their five brothers, on either side of their parents for a marriage blessing. What?! Nine kids? Yes, this is my sister-in-law, she of the 10Th pregnancy while running Tharp Events fame. We love each and every one of the people in that family.
Anyway! On to flowers!
Crista asked that each bouquet be a different color, to match each girl's favorite color.
Julia had blue, Beca took purple, Emi loves yellow, and little Ava held pink.
I took flowers from my favorite grower, added a few from my own garden, and came up with these sweet little bouquets.
I added two butterflies to each nosegay, to symbolize Chad and Crista, and mostly so the girlies would have something lasting to remember this day with.
The ceremony was beautiful, the "bride" and "groom" were lovely, and the girlies were sweet.
When trying to plan bouquets in different colors, the important thing to keep in mind is that they have unifying elements. All the bouquets were round, tight nosegays. All the bouquets had butterflies, and all were equal in size. The flowers matched because they all had a "just picked from the garden" feel. We didn't attempt to match orchids with daisies with gardenias.
You can keep your bouquets from being too perfectly matched as long as the pieces are cohesive. A similar style, type of flower or bouquet shape unifies separates into a whole.
How sweet they look with their happy smiles, and sweet bouquets!
