Purple bouquet ideas

 Are you having purple as your main colour? Looking for bouquet ideas? Here are a few examples that previous brides have carried.
Above, a bouquet of amnesia and avalanche roses with gyp and eucalyptus foliage.
 A mixed eustoma bouquet, purple, white and bi coloured white with a purple edge, with fountain grass.
 Picasso and schwartzwalder calla lilies with white gerberas and foliage.
Or how about an overarm bouquet of call lilies and beargrass.
Or a posy hand tie of Picasso calla lilies.
A mixed bouquet of avalanche roses and calla lilies with purple eustoma and freesia.



If you are looking for a more subtle colour mix, how about this bouquet of ivory roses, blue agapanthus, lavander, freesia, pink eustoma and veronica. Eucalyptus adding to the colour shade.

If you are after a truly purple flower, you can't beat purple eustoma. Teamed with ivory roses and fern it gives a stark contrast.
Want more purple? Add in purple freesia and less roses.
More subtle? Ivory roses, freesia and bouvardia, with a few eustoma flowers.
Having a spring wedding and want purple, how about purple tulips?

Just remember purple is a strong colour on its own and if your maids are in this colour they will need something lighter to carry. Be it a mix of darker and lighter flowers or just lighter ones. Think about having a range of shades from dark purple to very pale lilac this gives a more natural look to your flowers and if carried through your wedding does save on the difficulty of matching different fabrics etc. As long as it all tones it will work.
These are a few of my designs, I have plenty more available. Please ask for details.

Vintage inspired wedding flowers

Amnesia, avalanche and apricot carnations
 Lorraine got in touch with me after finding me on Twitter with a link by Sara of Under the Vintage Veil. Take a look at this site, there is plenty of brilliant advice for planning your wedding whether you are having a vintage themed wedding or not.
Any way all our communication was done via e-mail, with Lorraine sending me photos of the type of bouquet with the look she was wanting to achieve. We settled on Avalanche and Amnesia roses with apricot carnations, gyp and rosemary and lavender foliage put together as a hand-tie with lace bounding the stems together.
 Lorraine's flower girl carried three amnesia roses surrounded by gyp.
The bridesmaids each carried a bouquet of Amnesia and Avalanche roses with gyp and eucalyptus. All stems were bound with lace.
Also provided were buttonholes for the groom and the ushers.

Thank you Lorraine for choosing and trusting Sandra's Flower Studio to design your wedding flowers.
