Bouquets from real weddings, described by the brides who carried them — the blooms, the foliage and how each one was tied.
BOUQUET #1
From the wedding of
Susan & Bruce McDonald
This bouquet is a combination of black magic & black beauty roses, with pepperberries and silver artemesia, tied with a burgundy ribbon.
BOUQUET #3
Graham and Heather
These beautiful silk flowers were used to match the bride’s holiday them for her wedding. The bouquet cost under $50.
BOUQUET #4
From the wedding of
Margaret & JoonBelieve it or not, these elegant nosegays were made by the bride herself using silk flowers. The bride’s bouquet consisted of a combination of cream colored rose buds and rose blooms. The bride started with a rose bloom in the middle, surrounded by a row of rose buds secured using floral wire, then a final row of rose blooms made up the outermost layer, again secured with wire and floral tape. For the finishing touch, the bride wrapped the stems in white satin ribbon, using pearl ended pins to secure the ribbon. A separate bow was then attached to the bouquet using wire. The bridesmaid bouquets were made using the same techniques as the bride’s bouquet, except only rose buds were used. Secure all the flowers to their stems with hot glue before using them.

French Quarter, New Orleans, Louisiana
