Sunset Bridal Bouquet

The end of Spring a bride reached out asking for an elopement bouquet and boutonniere for the end of September. She wanted bold rich blend and hoped for sunset colors.

In May my mind is generally on soft pinks and pastels. Her rich palette of oranges, burgundy, blush with a touch of blue was absolutely inspiring to think about. Fortunately, she gave me plenty of time to do some research.

When given more than 6 months notice for wedding work, I try to grow at least 2 special flowers just for that bride's special bouquet. The richest sunset colors to her bouquet was going to get 3...

1- A perfectly blush rose that had a deep yet soft clove scent that just happened to have the same name as the bride's deceased mother. 
2- A tricolored peachy orange blush dahlia.
3- A salvia with the deep rich burgundy maroon hue

With these three growing strong, I felt confident her personal bouquet as well as her DIY Buckets when the time came.

This past week all growing and planning came to fruition. The flowers grown specifically for her were glorious. The additional flowers grown were looking good dispite the quick swing in temperature the week before. 

I cut and processed the flowers the day before needed to design with them and they all looked fantastic. Never did I expect to love this bouquet like it do. It turned out to be my favorite bold colored bouquet to date (which is why I decided to blog about it!)
