wedding bouquet
an unexpected union
Crystal and color bursts bring
glamour to a tried-and-true bouquet.
An elaborate crystal candle ring and sprays of crystal add a twist to
this mounded bouquet and complement its jeweled holder. Creamy white
spray roses and ivory ‘Vendela’ hybrid tea roses maintain a customary
wedding theme while pink-and-white ‘Esperance’ hybrid tea roses deviate
from the ordinary with punches of color. These contrasts create an
arrangement that is both sophisticated and elegant, modern and
traditional.
Due to the short, delicate nature of the spray roses’ stems, chenille
stems are glued in their place with floral adhesive. This helps extend
their stem lengths and anchor them into the foam bouquet holder.
The bouquet’s crystal accents and off-white hues are reminiscent of ice
and snow and make it the perfect arrangement for a winter bride who
wants a traditional bouquet with a touch of flair.
