purple carnations

I made this bouquet almost as an afterthought for the Bridal U show. Carnations have gotten a bad rap over the last several years as being "common fare," but just look at these purple beauties! I made several bouquets using flowers that the ladies may not not have seen before but this was the one that attracted the most attention. Nowadays there many carnation hybrids that are just awesome that lend themselves to some exciting color combinations. We (including myself,) need to give these classic flowers a chance!

orange miracle

A vibrant bouquet of: orange "miracle" roses, hot pink spray roses, purple stock, green hypericum berries and green buplerum. Just about any bright color combination can be stepped up a notch with the addition of a bright green, plus I'm going through a buplerum phase.

Kara Hunton

 A lovely and elegant Kara Hunton at St. Peter Church. She is carrying a bright bouquet of orange unique rose, cherry-oh roses and orange lilies with an aqua wrap. The color scheme continued throughout the entire ceremony and reception. I will show more photos but this one deserved its own post. Thanks Kara and company.
