Bridal Bouquet Inspiration | Best of GB Events

Hands down our favorite floral design element of weddings is the bridal bouquet. It is the star of the show, arguably the most photographed floral element, and is usually composed of the most stunning flowers of the lot.

We love utilizing our brides' favorite flowers and typically try to keep the bridal bouquet a little more neutral and white-toned, therefore a little more bridal. However we love when the bride wants to inject some color as well! Our goal is to have it perfectly reflect the bride and her style. 

We have compiled some images of some of our favorite bridal bouquets of weddings past below for you to peruse and hopefully garner some inspiration from! Let us know in the comments below which is your favorite!

Spring Wedding Inspiration | Best of Greg Boulus Events

Spring is in the air and we can almost taste the warmer weather, blooming trees, and of course the delicious fragrance of spring blooms!

We our neck deep in the design phases of a few of our spring weddings so we thought it would be appropriate to share some spring wedding images to inspire any future spring brides out there!

When designing an early spring/spring wedding we try and keep the color palate fresh. While many of our brides are drawn to neutrals, it can be a fun time of year to inject a bit of color into the floral design as a nod to the prettiest season here in Augusta.

Bridesmaid Bouquet Inspiration | Wedding Planning Tips

As a wedding planner with an in-house florist, we get the pleasure of not only helping our couples with the overall aesthetic of their wedding day, but also the floral design details. And one of its most important elements, the bridesmaids' bouquets.

This is where, as floral designers, we get to be creative but also set the tone for the rest of the wedding. Besides the ceremony backdrop, it is one of the first floral design pieces that guests notice (and will definitely be featured in many of your photographs), therefore it is a great way to preview what is to come later at the reception.

Based on our bride's preferences and the bridesmaid dresses, we put together a complimentary color palate for the bridesmaids' bouquets. While the bride's bouquet tends to be lighter in tone, her maids' bouquets are where we can really play with color and texture. 

As you can see in many of the images below, we like to inject colorful blooms that represent the season. Beautiful lilac in the spring, orange garden roses in the fall. However many of our brides are looking for a neutral color palate, which lends itself to a beautiful wedding that will never go out of style. Either way you will have beautiful flowers to compliment your beautiful girls!
