Flowers Unlimited

The bridal bouquet is the sublime adapter connecting ambience and dress while weaving tidbits of personal style. “I always give my client something to take home to help them envision the overall color palette and style for their special day,” says David Urban of The Secret Garden in Jamestown. Despite the popularity of all white hand-tied bouquets, many florists like Urban find bliss in creating unlimited bouquet combinations of texture, color and buds. Take this flow chart of different styles, theme and feel to your wedding florist to help piece together your personal transcendent bridal bouquet.
